CEFAM
The Centre d’Études Franco-Américain de Management or Franco-American Center for Management Studies in English (commonly referred to as CEFAM), is an international business school located in Lyon, France, specializing in management, finance, consulting and marketing.

This private school was established in 1986 and offers undergraduate and graduate business degrees based on the American education system.

Accessible to students immediately after high school graduation, CEFAM allows students to study in an English language environment and to experience American culture without leaving France. Lectures are taught almost exclusively in English - exception exists for mathematics - by native speakers with strong academic backgrounds and industry experience.

CEFAM’s programs consist of a bachelor’s degree in three years in France and a year overseas in one of the American partner universities and an MBA over two years, the first in France and the second in the USA. Both the BBA and MBA programs offer a double diploma, including a French diploma certified "Niveau 7"(Master's degree level) by the French government and an AACSB accredited American degree.

The school also offers a study abroad program, giving the opportunity to American students from partner universities to study in France for a semester or a year.

Campus 

CEFAM's first campus was located at 107 rue de Marseille in Lyon. In 2004 CEFAM moved to the campus of the International Professional University René Cassin (UPIL) in Lyon. CEFAM also maintains an extensive e-Campus for students studying in Lyon and elsewhere in Europe or the United States.
