ESIH - Ecole Supérieure d'Infotronique d'Haïti

What ESIH - Ecole Supérieure d'Infotronique d'Haïti does

ESIH (Ecole Supérieure d'Infotronique d'Haïti) is a private higher education institution founded in 1995 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, by a group of Haitian professionals including current Director General Patrick Attie. The institution delivers undergraduate and graduate programs in computer science and business management, structured under the European LMD (Licence-Master-Doctorat) system adopted in 2012 and compliant with ECTS credit standards. Core academic offerings include a 4-year integrated Licence in Computer Sciences with a dual-track specialization, a 2-year DUT in Multimedia and Internet, and a Master 1 pathway, supplemented by international distance-learning programs delivered through the Campus Numérique Francophone (CNF) hosted on campus since February 2022 in partnership with AUF, ESTIA (France), and Université Mohammed 1er (Morocco).

The institution differentiates through specialized facilities — Haiti's first VR/AR laboratory and first MakerLab — and an integrated AI curriculum (95+ interventions since 2023, full integration planned for 2026-2027) covering prompt engineering, machine learning, computer vision, and LLM/RAG agents. Technology stack centers on Unity 3D, Vuforia, Blender, Oculus Quest for VR/AR training, Oracle Academy and Google Cloud for the eBIHAR Master's pathway, and standard collaboration tools (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams) for remote learning. Erasmus+ project participation (EMINENT, CLAUDIA, DEEP FARM) provides co-financing and international faculty mobility.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition (~$3,025 per year per Licence student; ~€1,400-€1,800 per L3 international distance learner) and short-cycle professional course fees ($70-$180 per course). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through on-campus enrollment at the Port-au-Prince campus (morning classes, Monday-Friday) supplemented by online self-serve enrollment via Sogepay/Sogebank. Customer segments include Haitian Baccalauréat graduates aged 17-28 (~85% male, 15% female), Licence holders seeking postgraduate degrees, working professionals seeking continuing education, and dual-competency seekers pursuing both IT and management credentials. Reported 2024-2025 enrollment stands at 280 students with cumulative alumni of approximately 1,500 since 1996.

Regional players

• Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE): Dominican Republic private university with strong IT and business programs. Comparable to ESIH as a Caribbean private higher education institution offering technology degrees, though UNIBE operates in a more stable and larger market.
• INTEC (Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo): Dominican Republic technology-focused higher education institution. Comparable to ESIH in its STEM and engineering orientation, regional Caribbean setting, and private tuition-driven model.
• ITLA (Instituto Tecnológico de las Américas): Dominican Republic IT-focused technical institute offering degrees in software, networking, and emerging tech. Comparable to ESIH as a specialized IT higher education institution in the Caribbean.
• Université des Antilles (UA): Public Caribbean university system serving Martinique and Guadeloupe, partnered with ESIH via CORPUCA. Comparable as a francophone Caribbean higher education institution offering degree programs to the same regional student base.

Direct peers

• Université Quisqueya (UNIQ): Haitian private university explicitly named as an ESIH partner. Comparable as a domestic private higher education institution in Port-au-Prince offering degree programs, though ESIH is more IT-specialized.
• Université d'État d'Haïti (UEH): National public university system of Haiti, with which ESIH partners (notably on the DEEP FARM project via the Faculty of Agronomy). Comparable as a Haitian degree-granting institution serving the same student pool.
• Le Wagon: Global coding bootcamp operator and explicit ESIH partner for the Data Analytics bootcamp. Comparable in its tech-training focus and short-course professional education model, though Le Wagon operates globally rather than regionally.
• Holberton School: Software engineering school with project-based curriculum and emerging-market footprint. Comparable to ESIH in its software-engineering specialization and tuition-driven alternative higher education model.

Broad incumbents

• INSA (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées): Network of French public engineering grandes écoles offering multi-disciplinary STEM curricula. Comparable as an IT/engineering higher education model that ESIH emulates through its LMD and ECTS framework.
• EPITA (École Pour l'Informatique et les Techniques Avancées): French private engineering school specializing in computer science and AI. Comparable as a francophone IT-specialized higher education institution, though EPITA is far larger and more established.
