Partner Universities
Busy, dynamic, fast-paced, multicultural, full of opportunities… it is hard for Americans to find quite the right word to sum up their life style… The United States is home to the most respected and renowned universities and Business Schools in the world, where excellent opportunities are available to all.
Among the 1200 universities in the United States, only 350 are accredited by the AACSB. CEFAM has chosen to affiliate itself with 5 of them: Northeastern University (Boston), Temple University (Philadelphia), Pace University (New York), Siena College (Loudonville) and Rider University (Lauwrenceville). CEFAM also has a formal agreement on the Masters’ level with the AACSB and EQUIS accredited Laval University (Quebec City).
Each of these universities has its own “Business School” which trains future international managers.
Our partner universities in the United States have been chosen for their academic excellence and their international recognition. CEFAM selected universities whose business programs are among the most renowned world-wide. Becoming a student at one of these universities is a privilege typically reserved for the elite and represents a real advantage and differentiating element for your career.
Each year, our partner universities come to CEFAM and present their programs to our students who choose themselves which university to attend in their 4th year.
Situated in the center of Boston, historic capital of the New England region, Northeastern University benefits from an exceptional university environment. Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is an accredited member of the AACSB and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

Today, 2,500 companies actively participate in the “cooperative education” program of Northeastern University and employ more than 8,000 students per year through the work/study program.

Rider University is located on 280 beautiful acres on two campuses in New Jersey. Rider University is a mid-sized university with a thriving College of Business Administration, where students build relationships with dedicated faculty who genuinely desire to mentor them. This attention and devotion is unparalleled at larger institutions; because of small class sizes, Rider’s faculty stimulates minds in class with thought-provoking and interactive lessons that accurately reflect the real world of business.
Rider University is ranked in the top tier of northern regional universities by U.S. News and World Report and ranked among the top college in recent editions of The Princeton Review’s Best Colleges.
The Faculty of Business Administration - the largest on campus - compares favourably with the leading university business schools. In 1995 it received the International accreditation from the International Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AASCB) and in 2005 the EQUIS accreditation.
