About ESIC
ESIC Business & Marketing School is an international higher education institution with campuses in Europe and the Americas, including its Brazilian campus located in Curitiba–PR. Founded in 1965, it offers undergraduate, graduate, master’s, and MBA programs, as well as executive training, in-company courses, and a preparatory school.
ESIC was originally established in Spain to train professionals in the field of marketing—a sector that was underdeveloped in the country at the time. There was, therefore, a strong market demand in this area. ESIC responded to this need by helping companies grow through market analysis and relationship-building—in other words, through the practice of marketing. The Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus recognized the need for well-trained professionals whose knowledge was current and who were capable of meeting the challenges of their time.
Let us pray that God continues to enlighten the work and mission of ESIC.
Vivat Cor Iesu!
