esag

ESAG is an acronym that can refer to several institutions and organizations, most commonly in Francophone countries. The best-known usage is for École supérieure d’arts graphiques Penninghen, a private higher education institution in Paris, France, that specializes in graphic design, visual communication, and illustration.

ESAG Penninghen offers programs at certificate, bachelor, and master levels, emphasizing project-based learning, studio work, typography, and collaboration with industry partners. The school has a long-standing tradition in French design education and prepares graduates for careers in design studios, advertising agencies, publishing, and digital media.

Outside ESAG Penninghen, the acronym is used by other schools whose names in French begin with École supérieure d’arts graphiques, as well as by different organizations that share the same initials. Because ESAG can denote multiple entities, references may require clarification to identify the intended institution. In reference works, ESAG is frequently treated as an ambiguous acronym, with disambiguation necessary when accuracy is important.
