PGCert in Programme court de deuxième cycle en études régionales

This is a 15-credit second-cycle short graduate program in études régionales at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, offered in person on a part-time basis. It promotes multidisciplinary theoretical reflection on regional development, examining territorial issues and critically reassessing regional concepts within the context of globalization. The program draws on disciplines including anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, demography, sociology, urban planning, environment and development, and is intended for professionals and graduates from these fields who want a focused graduate-level grounding in regional analysis. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in one of the eligible disciplines with a cumulative average of at least 3.2/4.3, together with an official transcript, a curriculum vitae and a 500-word letter of motivation explaining the candidate's interest in the program. Intakes are offered in the fall and winter terms, and the part-time structure allows students to complete the credential alongside ongoing professional commitments.
