HEC Montréal
HEC Montréal is a global leader in business education and research. Its innovative capacity, one of its hallmarks ever since it was founded in 1907, has earned it the highest international accolades in recent years. In fact, it was the first school in North America to hold the three most prestigious accreditations in management education: AACSB International, from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, EQUIS, from the E uropean Foundation for Management Development, and AMBA, from the Association of MBAs (United Kingdom). HEC Montréal is also an associate member of the Conférence des grandes écoles de France and a member of the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute. It is affiliated with the Université de Montréal.

Why choose a MSA at HEC Montréal
HEC Montréal’s MSc in Administration bears the stamp of quality in every way – starting with the quality of its hand-picked students. The same applies to its professors, since the School is known for having one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary management faculties, in terms of numbers and reputation.

The excellence of the MSc program, established in 1976, is also founded on the wide range of specializations offered. The supervised project track offered in most options, as an alternative to the thesis track, allows students to complete a research project or take on a practical consulting mandate or internship, depending on their interests and career aspirations. Whether students choose the thesis or supervised project track, all MSc graduates will be well prepared to join the labour market or to pursue postgraduate studies if they are considering a career in academia or as a high-level researcher or consultant in an organization.
