IAE La Rochelle

Founded in 1900, Audencia is one of Europe's leading business schools.

It is EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA accredited. As the first business school in France to join the United Nations' Global Compact initiative, and a signatory to its Principles of Responsible Management Education, Audencia was committed from the outset to training and supporting innovative, responsible managers with hybrid skills who can make a positive contribution to the major challenges facing our organizations, our societies and our planet. Audencia has also created Gaïa, the very first business school dedicated to ecological and social transition.

In co-creation with its stakeholders, Audencia produces and disseminates knowledge that has an impact on scientific literature, the content of its training courses, business practices and society as a whole. It thus contributes to the following three major challenges: the creation and use of responsible technologies and information, the definition and adoption of managerial approaches favoring inclusive organizations and societies, and the design and implementation of sustainable business and development models.

Audencia offers management and communication programs from bachelor to doctorate level. It has signed agreements with 215 academic institutions abroad, and more than 180 national and international companies. It has over 7,200 students, a faculty of 152 professors and a network of over 34,000 graduates.
