Program details
Overview
This is a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at HEC Montreal comprising 54 credits, offered in two formats: a one-year full-time program with day classes taught in French or English, and a two-year part-time program with evening and weekend classes in a blended format, taught in French. Classes for the two-year format are held downtown Montreal in the Helene-Desmarais building. The curriculum is organized into four segments: a 32-credit core covering accounting, finance, economics, marketing, operations, organizational behaviour, strategy, and ethics; a 12-credit specialization block where students choose one of four profiles -- sustainable development, finance, people management, or digital transformation; and two further segments totalling 10 credits built around a consulting field project and additional electives. The program includes case studies and opportunities related to project management, technology entrepreneurship through the Creative Destruction Lab, and international immersion experiences. It is designed for professionals seeking management positions and greater organizational responsibility, including those balancing work, study, and personal commitments through the part-time format.
