FROM CEFAM TO THE WORLD

At CEFAM, every student follows a pathway that is both French and international. By completing their studies in Lyon and on the campuses of our U.S. partner universities, our Business Alumni graduate with two internationally recognized degrees – one from CEFAM and one from a prestigious North American University. This unique academic journey demonstrates to employers that they have lived, studied, and worked in multicultural environments and have been trained through American and Canadian teaching methods: interactive, practical, and team-based.

Excellence Recognized in North America

CEFAM is the only institution in France that offers direct admission to renowned U.S. and Canadian business schools, with no limit on available places.
Thanks to the recognition of our academic standards by our partner universities, CEFAM students who continue their studies in the United States or Canada achieve a 100% graduation rate, and 60% of them graduate with Honors.
