The group has 6,500 students across its three campuses: La Rochelle, Centre-Val de Loire (Tours-Orléans), and Paris-Cachan. Since 2017, the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research has recognized Excelia as an EESPIG (Private Higher Education Institution of General Interest), acknowledging the group’s public-interest mission.

Excelia Business School is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE) and is ranked among the top business schools nationally and internationally. It holds the prestigious AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA accreditations.

The school is strongly committed to research. Its active and dynamic faculty of 110 permanent teacher-researchers is organized into five teaching and research departments. Excelia focuses on three interdisciplinary research areas: Sustainable Development and CSR, Tourism Management, and Agility, Innovation, and Digitalization (AID).

Since 1999, sustainable development has been a strategic pillar of both research and teaching at Excelia. The school conducts research with a strong societal impact, particularly through its CSR-focused research institute, the IRSI (Institute for Societal Responsibility through Innovation).
