This thesis-based Master of Arts in Counselling and Guidance Sciences (sciences de l'orientation) trains graduate researchers to develop competencies related to educational and career-development interventions, rather than leading to professional counsellor certification. The 45-credit program combines advanced coursework with independent thesis research, requiring students to secure a faculty research supervisor during their first term. Courses are offered mainly on campus, with some available at a distance, in hybrid or comodal format, and study can be pursued full-time or part-time. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in counselling/guidance sciences or a related field with at least 30 relevant humanities credits, and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 out of 4.33. Graduates are prepared for doctoral studies or research-oriented careers in education and the social sciences, having developed skills in research design, data analysis and academic writing through supervised thesis work with ethics committee oversight.
