, but was initially more modest, in large part because it had not been supported by the state. Since the 1820s, the school had gained international exposure but it was not the only business school open to international students. Its stature and importance ascended during the 19th century and it moved to its current Parisian location on the Avenue de la République in 1898. In 1828, the project to put the school under the authority of the French Ministry of Commerce and Industry failed. The school remained independent by the intervention of Jérôme-Adolphe Blanqui, who took it over. Several times during the first half of the 19th century, French politics planned on grouping ESCP with elite French engineering schools such as the

, but that never occurred. It is worth mentioning that, at the time, higher engineering schools in France and in Europe taught future businessmen. From 1838, the French state began to give scholarships to ESCP's students. Finally, in 1869 the Paris Chamber of Commerce took over the school to train future business leaders in modern methods in commerce and industry. In 1892, ESCP set up selective admissions processes which still take the form of competitive exams. On 5 April 1973 the concept of a multi-campus business school was founded with the consecutive inaugurations of campuses in the United Kingdom (London in 1974, move to Oxford in 1975) and in Germany (

Those levels of study include various "parcours" or paths based on UE (Unités d'enseignement or Modules), each worth a defined number of European credits (ECTS). A student accumulates those credits, which are generally transferable between paths. A Bachelors is awarded once 180 ECTS have been obtained (bac + 3); a Masters is awarded once 120 additional credits have been obtained (bac +5).
