History
ESCP-EAP in Paris, avenue de la République. The dedicated building was completed in 1859 The École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris was founded in 1819 by a circle of economists and traders including the famous economist Jean-Baptiste Say and the banker Vital Roux. As such, it is the oldest establishment dedicated to business and finance teaching in the world. It was modeled on the Ecole Polytechnique founded by Lazare Carnot and Gaspard Monge, but was much more modest in its beginnings, mainly because it had not been supported by the state. It gradually gained in stature and importance during the 19th century and moved to its current location, avenue de la République, in Paris, in 1859. The 20th century gave importance to business studies, and soon enough the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris saw its importance rise. Its popularity meant it had to develop a rigorous selection process. By the mid-20th century, the school was considered an elite institution and admitted its students after two years of dedicated preparatory classes through a competitive entrance exam. The EAP (European School of Management) was created in 1973 as a result of a European initiative to create a trans-national elite business school. From its inception, the school had campuses in four major European cities: Paris, Oxford, Dusseldorf, and Madrid. The Dusseldorf campus moved to Berlin in 1984. Students were recruited after two years preparatory classes in France and after a Bachelor's degree in the UK through a competitive entrance exam. In 2000, the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris merged with the EAP-Ecole Européenne des Affaires to form the ESCP-EAP European School of Management. This merger was the starting point for the new long-term strategy of the school to train managers able to adapt to any culture and work in any country and to gain international visibility. It adopted the slogan "Learn everywhere, Manage anywhere". In 2004 it added a campus in Turin and in 2005 it moved its Oxford campus to London. The Master's in Management

The ESCP-EAP Master's in Management was ranked second best in the world in 2008.http://rankings.ft.com/rankings/masters The Master in European Business
