It combines five mandatory courses (15 credits), three mandatory one-credit seminars on current public administration issues (3 credits), six elective courses (18 credits), and a capstone activity (9 credits) taken either as a six-credit integration seminar plus a three-credit course, or as a nine-credit organizational project.

The program targets managers already in post or newly appointed, as well as professionals in managerial roles or aspiring to become managers, within public and parapublic organizations at the provincial, federal, or municipal level. It suits practising or aspiring managers who want formal training in organizational behaviour and public-sector administration alongside their existing work responsibilities.
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; applicants 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 or bridging courses. Candidates without a bachelor's degree may instead qualify with appropriate knowledge, training, or at least ten years of professional-level work experience. All candidates need a minimum of two years of professional-level work experience carrying management responsibility for human, material, financial, or informational resources; those lacking such management experience must submit a supervisor's reference form attesting to their management potential. 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.
