Overview
This Master of Business Administration emphasizes the practical application of management concepts, techniques and technologies, aiming to build managerial judgment alongside organizational-change and leadership-communication skills. The 45-credit, second-cycle professional program combines mandatory core courses covering organizational functions and internal and external management tools with electives chosen from a concentration area and other course offerings, concluding with two required essay courses. Four concentrations are available: entrepreneurship, project management, marketing, and financial services, letting students tailor the general management core toward a specific functional interest. The program is delivered at the Gatineau campus, full-time or part-time, with admission available in the fall, winter, and summer terms. It is designed for applicants holding a bachelor's degree in administration or management sciences who meet a minimum grade average, with an alternative admission path for candidates slightly below that threshold who can demonstrate relevant professional management experience. French proficiency is required for admission, and applicants are also expected to have adequate English reading comprehension. The concluding essay courses give students a capstone opportunity to apply the program's management tools to a substantive project before graduating, distinguishing the credential from purely coursework-only MBA formats.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree in business administration or in a management-sciences field from a Canadian university. The standard threshold is a cumulative average of at least 3.2 on UQO's 4.3 scale; applicants averaging 2.8-3.2 may still be considered where the application shows strong professional experience managing human, material, or financial resources. Candidates submit a curriculum vitae and a completed questionnaire and must be available for an in-person or electronic interview. Mathematics or statistics prerequisites may apply, with preparatory courses offered to candidates who need them. Language requirements follow UQO's policy: applicants need adequate mastery of French and sufficient comprehension of written English; non-exempt candidates must provide proof of the Test de francais international (TFI) scoring at least 750/990, or an equivalent test — noting the TFI itself has not been offered since February 2025.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:UQO currently publishes deadlines only for the term now open, which as of mid-September 2026 is winter 2027 entry. Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to UQO: regular undergraduate and certificate programmes close 1 December 2026, while co-operative-education bachelor's programmes and all graduate programmes close 15 October 2026, with admission decisions issued from August onward. International applicants had an earlier cut-off of 1 August 2026 for winter 2027 entry; as of the fetch date that window has already closed for most programmes, and several programmes are not open to international applicants for this term at all. UQO has not yet published fall 2027 dates, and none of these deadlines are rolling; all are firm cut-offs. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
