Educational protection
Since 1980, ESSCA has been authorised to issue diplomas approved by the Minister for Higher Education and Research.
The Ministry’s authority is applied in three fields:
It appoints the President of the Admission Entrance and Graduation Jury: Jean-Dominique LAFAY, Professor at the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.
By regularly auditing the schools: in 2008, ESSCA’s Ministerial accreditation was renewed for the maximum authorised period (six years - the longest period a School can request).
By approving the pedagogical regulations.
