Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.A.A.), a 90-credit undergraduate degree. A common foundation covers management, economics, accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, operations, and business law, after which students choose one of eleven areas of concentration, including international management, finance, marketing, human resources management, information technologies, operations management, general management, digital marketing, entrepreneurship, social innovation, and project management, each adding 30 specialized credits. The program is offered full-time or part-time across several campuses (Montreal, Lanaudiere, Laval, Longueuil) with admission in the fall and winter terms. Students may complete an internship (stage) within most concentrations, and an international study option allows courses taken abroad to count toward the degree. Qualifying students with sufficiently high grades can complete nine credits of graduate-level coursework as part of an honours pathway toward a master's degree. The program suits students preparing for management careers in private, public, or non-profit organizations who want broad business training with the option to specialize.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry is via a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) or equivalent Quebec credential, with a minimum academic average (cote de rendement, cote R) of 22; there is no admission on an experience basis, and unsuccessful applicants are directed to the certificate in administration. Candidates with prior university study need at least five university-level courses (15 credits) completed at the time of application with a cumulative average of 2.5/4.3, and those with a diploma from outside Quebec need at least 13 years of schooling and a minimum average of 12/20 (conditional admission with 24 remedial credits at 2.5/4.3 is possible below that threshold). All applicants must prove French proficiency through the DEC's uniform French exam, the Quebec ministry's written test, or UQAM's own written French test; graduates of francophone universities are exempt. Students in a program leading to the B.A.A. or B.Sc.G. must also attest to English at UQAM Language School's intermediate II level. Candidates judged weak in quantitative or computer skills may be admitted conditionally on passing the remedial course MAT1002. Admission is offered in the fall and winter trimesters.
