Mission
Included in the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) under the tutelage of Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Employment, ENSAE provides training for statisticians-economists, some of which are civil servants belonging to the Corps des Administrateurs de l'INSEE, a category of top level public managers in the French administration.
Economists and statisticians trained are intended to contribute to the economic research; former students hold positions within international organizations (UN, IMF, World Bank, European Commission,…) and French administration or other public institutions (Ministry of Economy, INSEE, CREST,…).
The school admits students from diverse backgrounds:
- Alumni of classes préparatoires (from scientific preparatory classes MP / MP *, but also business school preparatory classes ( "HEC math") and Humanities and Social Sciences preparatory classes (Khâgne BL)).
- Admission after a graduate degree (normaliens, polytechniciens students or other holders of Grandes écoles masters degrees).
The institution is actually the only French Grande école to admit scientific, business and humanities students.
Since 2006 the school is accredited to deliver the title of "ingénieur" by the French Commission of Engineering Titles.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.”
—Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson, Objective Burma, giving a subaltern a mission (1945)
“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
