INSEAD is widely recognized as one of the world's largest and most influential top-tier business schools. It is the only business school with integrated twin campuses in Asia (Singapore) and Europe (Fontainebleau). Currently, 141 faculty members teach more than 840 MBA students, 6,800 executives and 66 PhD students from over 75 countries. INSEAD's unique global perspective and multicultural diversity are reflected in all aspects of its research and teaching. The recently announced INSEAD-Wharton Alliance combines INSEAD's resources with those of Wharton's campuses in Philadelphia and San Francisco, to deliver business education and research across a Global Learning Network.
