Program details
Overview
The Master's in Public Administration with a concentration in Program Evaluation, offered by ENAP (École nationale d'administration publique) under its Professional profile, is a 45-credit, coursework-based Master of Public Administration (M.A.P.) focused on describing public interventions and designing evaluation approaches that assess relevance, implementation, effectiveness, and economic impact. It comprises six mandatory courses (18 credits), four concentration courses in program evaluation (12 credits), two elective courses (6 credits), and a capstone activity (9 credits) for which students choose among an internship, an organizational project, or an integration seminar. It is delivered mainly at the Quebec City, Montreal, and Gatineau campuses, with some courses available online. The program targets bachelor's graduates and working professionals in the public, parapublic, and non-profit sectors who want to build skills in evaluating public programs and managing evaluation projects. It suits professionals responsible for assessing the impact or delivery of public policies and programs rather than those pursuing a purely academic research credential.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent with a minimum cumulative average of 3.2 out of 4.3; candidates averaging between 2.7 and 3.2 may still be considered after review of academic and professional background, with admission sometimes made conditional on preparatory courses. Applicants without a bachelor's degree may instead qualify with appropriate knowledge, training, or at least ten years of professional-level work experience. Candidates must also have passed an undergraduate-level statistics course within the five years preceding their application; those who have not must complete a preparatory statistics course. ENAP requires a very good command of French and English sufficient to understand written material; per the university's admission-process page, non-Quebec-francophone applicants must meet a French threshold of TFI 860/990, a passing DALF result, or 4.6/5.0 on FIVE STAR, with no fixed English score published. Basic office-software literacy is expected and an interview may be requested.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Quebec and the rest of Canada) apply directly to ENAP: the application deadline is 1 June for Fall entry, 1 November for Winter entry, and 15 March for Summer entry, though third-cycle (PhD) programmes admit for Fall and Winter only. International admission runs in fixed windows rather than a single deadline: Fall 2026 and Winter 2027 admissions are already closed, no international admission is offered for Summer 2027, and applications for Fall 2027 open in November 2026 with Winter 2028 opening in January 2027; French and Belgian citizens under reciprocity agreements follow different rules. Dates are subject to change once capacity is reached. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
