INSEAD is a graduate business school based both in Fontainebleau, France, and Singapore. Considered as one of the leading and most selective business schools in the world, INSEAD was founded in 1957 as a privately funded, independent European business school. As of June, 2005, the school has 144 faculty members who teach nearly 900 MBA students, 56 Executive MBA candidates, 6,400 executives and 71 Ph.D. students from over 75 countries on its two campuses. Students often study both in France and Singapore.

INSEAD's global perspective and multicultural diversity are reflected in aspects of its research and teaching. The INSEAD-Wharton Alliance, announced in May 2001, combines INSEAD's resources with those of Wharton's campuses in Philadelphia and San Francisco. The school has been certified by EQUIS and AMBA. The current dean is Frank Brown.
