Program details

Overview

This is a 45-credit cumulative Master of Science offered at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, built by combining the DESS en éco-conseil with one of several eligible second-cycle short graduate programs, such as project management, regional studies, or socio-ecological transition. Rather than being a single standalone curriculum, the credential is assembled from two completed short graduate components, allowing students to tailor part of their training to a complementary specialization while anchoring the degree in eco-consulting (environmental management and sustainable development advisory practice). Courses are delivered in person at the Saguenay campus. The program admits students in the fall, winter and summer terms, reflecting the intake patterns of its component short programs. It is intended for students who want a research-and-practice grounding in environmental consulting paired with a second area of applied expertise, culminating in a full master's-level credential built cumulatively rather than through a single unified course of study.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires completion of the Diplome d'etudes superieures specialisees (DESS) en eco-conseil together with one of three eligible short second-cycle programs: project management, regional studies, or socio-ecological transition. Because this master's is assembled cumulatively from completed short programs rather than applied for directly, candidates must submit their request to the registrar's office before finishing their last eligible short program.
