MA/MS in Public-Private Interface (Professional Profile)

The Master's in Public Administration, Professional profile, concentration in public-private interface, is a 45-credit Master of Public Administration (M.A.P.) offered jointly by ENAP (Ecole nationale d'administration publique) and HEC Montreal, combining coursework with a capstone rather than a thesis. It prepares professionals working, or seeking to work, at the interface of the public and private sectors. The curriculum includes four mandatory core courses (12 credits) covering public-organization management, public-administration principles, and methodology; four concentration courses (12 credits), split evenly between ENAP and HEC Montreal offerings; four elective courses (12 credits) chosen from either institution; and a nine-credit capstone chosen among an integration seminar, an organizational project, or an internship. Courses are delivered at ENAP's Montreal campus in partnership with HEC Montreal. The program targets managers and professionals involved in policy design, managers in regulated sectors, government staff administering public-private partnerships, and members of social enterprises seeking broader impact.
