Program details
Overview
This program awards the degree of Maitre en administration (or Maitre es sciences) through a 45-credit curriculum offered full-time only at the University of Sherbrooke, completed in 12 months, at the main Sherbrooke campus and the Longueuil campus (with some concentrations tied to a specific campus). The structure combines 6 credits of optional activities common to all concentrations with 39 credits of concentration-specific mandatory courses, including a 6-credit essay project and a 3-credit field intervention component. Students choose one of five concentrations: international management, e-commerce management, organizational intervention and change, strategic management of collective-impact projects, or marketing. The program is designed for applicants holding a first-cycle university degree in administration, or an equivalent background, and it specifies a minimum cumulative grade-point average for admission. It suits professionals and recent graduates seeking a compact, one-year graduate credential that combines applied coursework with a supervised field intervention in a specific management concentration.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.70 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a first-cycle university degree in administration or the equivalent, with a minimum cumulative average of 2.7 on a 4.3 scale, or equivalent academic results; candidates from other fields may be admitted but may be required to complete preparatory coursework (propedeutique). A higher cumulative average of 3.0 on 4.3 is required specifically in the first-cycle courses relevant to the chosen concentration. Several concentrations add their own conditions: e-commerce management requires prior study in business-technology management or marketing; international management requires adequate written and spoken English; organizational change and intervention favours candidates with management, HR or industrial-relations backgrounds; the collective-impact-projects concentration favours degrees in economics, law, political science, sociology or environmental studies; and marketing requires a first-cycle marketing concentration. All candidates must show French proficiency at CEFR level C1 (score of at least 500 out of 699) across all four competencies, plus good understanding of written English.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic (Quebec and other Canadian) applicants apply directly to Universite de Sherbrooke: for full-time undergraduate programmes the Winter 2027 deadline is 1 November 2026 and the Fall 2027 deadline is 1 March 2027, with later dates for part-time study. International applicants must apply earlier for visa processing, with a Fall 2027 deadline of 15 January 2027; the equivalent Winter international deadline (1 June) falls the preceding year, so Winter 2027 international applications closed 1 June 2026. The School of Management and Faculty of Education publish their own program-specific dates that are actually later (more time to apply) than the general undergraduate dates, while the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences uses earlier dates for most of its M.D. admission categories. None of these are described as rolling; they are published as firm final deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
