Overview
The American Business School of Paris (ABS Paris), founded in 1985, is a private business school offering US‑style education in the heart of Paris.
It delivers programmes taught entirely in English and follows an American academic model with flexible course selection, continuous assessment, and strong emphasis on international mobility. ABS Paris hosts a diverse student body representing more than 80 nationalities and maintains partnerships with over 100 universities worldwide.
The school offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration, fashion and luxury retail management, international business, and digital marketing. Several programmes are recognised by the French government (RNCP level 7 for master’s degrees), and the institution is accredited by IACBE. Its location near Canal Saint‑Martin provides access to Paris’s cultural, commercial, and entrepreneurial districts, making it an attractive option for students seeking an international business education in a global capital.

ABS Paris provides a dedicated International Office supporting students with administrative procedures, visa guidance, and integration into life in France. Orientation sessions introduce students to academic expectations, campus life, and living in Paris. The Career Services team offers CV workshops, interview preparation, internship support, and networking events with industry partners.
Students benefit from small class sizes, academic advising, and access to student clubs focused on entrepreneurship, fashion, sports, and cultural exchange. The school also facilitates study‑abroad opportunities through its global partner network, allowing students to complete semesters or dual‑degree pathways overseas.
