Overview
This Master's in Business Administration at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières is offered full-time or part-time, based primarily on the Trois-Rivières campus with select concentrations also available in Drummondville, and delivered through intensive Friday-Saturday sessions along with comodal or hybrid formats that include in-person components. The program builds a systemic view of organizations through coursework in management theory, strategy, and core business functions such as marketing and finance, culminating in a synthesis activity and writing seminar. Students choose among five specializations: SME management, project management, innovation management in SMEs, organizational diagnosis and intervention, or communication management. It is designed for managers, professionals, and entrepreneurs with hands-on management experience, allowing them to pursue graduate business education alongside work and family commitments.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission to the MBA is per UQTR's program-based process, with two routes. The university-basis route requires a bachelor's degree in any field with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2/4.3 (or, for applicants schooled outside Quebec, an equivalent first-cycle degree such as a North American bachelor's, a French LMD licence, a Master 1, or a Bacc+4, with a minimum 12/20 average) plus at least three years of relevant management experience; the experience-basis route needs no bachelor's degree but requires at least five years of relevant management experience as a resource manager, executive, professional, self-employed worker or entrepreneur (university internships excluded). The Project Management concentration additionally expects foundational statistics, financial mathematics, accounting and microcomputer skills, with supplementary courses imposed if needed. Candidates must show adequate spoken and written French and sufficient written-English comprehension; international applicants from non-French-speaking countries must also pass the TCF French test within six months of applying. Required documents include a CV, employment attestation, transcripts and a motivation letter; international students must enrol full-time for immigration purposes.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall and Winter
Application Deadline:UQTR sets its own admission deadlines by trimester rather than through a shared application service: for the Fall 2027 trimester, undergraduate (first-cycle) applications are due 1 September 2027 and graduate (upper-cycle) applications 28 August 2027, while international applicants at either level must apply earlier, by 1 April 2027; for the Winter 2027 trimester, the undergraduate deadline is 5 January 2027, the graduate deadline is 1 January 2027, and the international deadline was 1 August 2026. UQTR notes that some contingented (limited-enrolment) programmes may carry different deadlines than these general dates, and that after any deadline it reserves the right not to process the application, so admission is firm rather than rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
