Program details

Overview

This 45-credit Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) is a full-time graduate program delivered over five trimesters at the Montreal campus, with weekend class scheduling. The curriculum is organized into five sequential nine-credit modules that must be completed in order, covering management and the business environment, commercial and financial management, operations and resource management, and strategic management, before a final elective block and capstone project. Classes combine lectures with collaborative activities involving businesses and the examination of real-world cases. For the elective component, students choose nine credits from one of five tracks: science, technology, and engineering; business launch; arts and cultural organization management; agile project management; or a personalized pathway. All incoming students complete a four-hour orientation and integration activity in their first term. Admission requires a bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.2 out of 4.3 and at least three years of professional experience. The program suits working professionals seeking advanced management training alongside ongoing career responsibilities.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent with a minimum cumulative average of 3.2/4.3, plus at least three years of full-time relevant professional experience at the time of application. The admissions sub-committee may exceptionally recommend candidates averaging 2.7-3.19, or below 2.7 but above 2.5 if they complete at least 15 additional university credits at 3.2/4.3 or better. Candidates need basic mathematics knowledge, sufficient spoken and written French, functional reading ability in English, and competence with standard office software, all of which may be tested. Where judged necessary, the sub-committee can impose further conditions: an aptitude test, a French test through UQAM's Centre d'évaluation des compétences linguistiques (minimum level Avancé III), quantitative-methods remedial courses (MBA8601-8603), a propaedeutic, or a requirement to maintain a 3.0/4.3 average after the first nine-credit module. Eligible candidates may be interviewed on motivation and fit. Admission runs by cohort in the fall and winter trimesters.
