Programs and Pathways

Graduate public-administration study

Choose a professional, manager, or research path

ENAP's catalogue spans short second-cycle study through doctoral research, but all routes remain graduate or professional. Campus, online, cohort, partner, and concentration availability must be checked separately.

Professional MAP

45 credits / M.A.P.

A 9-credit integration activity can be a stage, organizational project, or seminar route.

Manager MAP

45 credits / M.A.P.

Designed for practising or aspiring public-sector managers; experience conditions are program-specific.

Research MAP

45 credits / M.Sc.

Includes 24 research credits: a 3-credit project and 21-credit thesis.

Microprogram and short second-cycle program

9 and 15 credits

These are graduate attestations, not bachelor's credentials; the microprogram can be completed online with suitable course choices.

Third-cycle study

18-credit short program and 90-credit doctorate

Third-cycle admissions are offered for Fall and Winter, not the Summer term.

Specialized public administration

Municipal management, program evaluation, international fields, and Indigenous-context study

Campus, cohort, partner, and profile rules differ; the Indigenous-context sequence includes joint UQAC/UQAT components.

Partner programs need an ownership boundary

Indigenous-context study includes a joint 15-credit offering with UQAC and UQAT. That partnership should not be presented as if every component, location, or admission decision belongs to ENAP alone.

Official ENAP program sources

Residence and Campus Fit

Housing reality

ENAP owns no university residence

ENAP students can apply to partner residences near the Québec, Gatineau, and Montréal campuses. Partner access is not a guarantee, and ENAP recommends joining wait-lists early because places are limited.

ENAP-owned residence

None

ENAP explicitly says it owns no university residence and cannot guarantee housing.

Québec campus

Partner university residences

ENAP students can apply through the linked partner inventory; availability is limited.

Gatineau campus

UQO residence access

This is partner access, not ENAP-owned housing.

Montréal campus

UQAM residence access

Students should join the wait-list early because places are limited.

Fall 2027 rates or guarantee

Pending / no guarantee

ENAP publishes neither its own room rates nor a Fall 2027 housing guarantee.

No ENAP rate or guarantee can be quoted

Room types, rates, deposits, and offer dates belong to the partner housing provider. No reviewed ENAP page publishes a Fall 2027 partner-room price or guaranteed offer.

Housing and Location Questions

Campus SettingMajor-city campus environment
ResidenceCheck residence guarantee rules, first-year room styles, meal plans, deposit deadlines, and off-campus housing pressure.
City FitStudents should compare transit, weather, cost of living, safety, and community feel in Quebec City.
CommutingIf living off campus, map commute time to classes, labs, placements, and evening activities before committing.

Tuition, Scholarships, and Aid

Tuition and graduate funding

Price depends on status and program profile

ENAP separates Quebec, other-Canadian, French or francophone-Belgian, international research, international non-research, and international third-cycle bands. The current table stops at Summer 2027.

Quebec resident or eligible French/Belgian, 9 credits

$1,292.37

Published 2026–2027 cost base, including listed institutional and association charges.

Canadian non-Quebec, 9 credits

$3,276.24

The $1,983.87 difference equals the $220.43-per-credit supplement across nine credits.

International research MAP, 9 credits

$6,761.58

Research-profile band with separate supervision and international supplements.

International professional/manager MAP, 9 credits

$8,138.58

The non-research second-cycle band; ENAP estimates about $41,000 for a 45-credit MAP over two years.

International third cycle, 9 credits

$6,106.02

Applies to the international third-cycle band, not to every international student.

Fall 2027 / 2027–2028

Pending

The current grid covers Fall 2026, Winter 2027, and Summer 2027.

Funding follows the graduate route

MAP without research

$1,000 admission + $2,500 completion

Independent awards with full-time, credit-load, first-admission, and 45-credit completion conditions.

Research MAP

$7,500 over three terms

Automatic consideration with a complete first-time full-time application; continuing conditions apply.

Doctorate

$40,000 over eight terms

Automatic consideration for first-time full-time doctoral admission, subject to progress conditions.

International professional/manager MAP

Up to $4,500

Non-cash tuition credit for eligible full-time students subject to the international supplement.

International remarkable-candidate competition

$10,000

The live page's administration details refer to the 2025 intake; Fall 2027 competition dates are pending.

Awards are conditional, not a universal ladder

Full-time status, credit load, first admission, academic progress, external funding, immigration status, and the chosen MAP profile can change eligibility. The remarkable-candidate page still describes 2025 contest administration, so Fall 2027 dates remain pending.

Official ENAP cost and funding sources

Co-op, Research, and Career Outcomes

Integration and career practice

A professional MAP stage is not universal co-op

The professional MAP includes a choice among stage, organizational project, and seminar-based integration. Research profiles use projects, thesis work, research contracts, and selected teaching opportunities instead.

Professional MAP stage

9 credits after 27 credits

Requires the named core courses and a 3.3/4.3 cumulative average.

Organizational project

9 credits / at least 405 hours

Available after 24 credits and the required core courses, with a 3.3 average.

Stage setting

Public, private, or nonprofit organization

The student completes an approved mandate and produces a report.

Delivery

Full-time or part-time

The Bureau des stages validates the mandate and the tripartite service agreement.

University-wide boundary

No universal co-op

Stage and project options belong to specified professional MAP pathways; research programs use thesis and research opportunities.

A stage is not promised paid employment

ENAP describes full- or part-time organizational mandates and validates the placement agreement. The reviewed sources do not promise that every stage is paid or that every eligible student receives a placement.

Career Planning

Experiential LearningCheck whether your target program offers co-op, internships, clinical placements, practicums, studios, field schools, or research terms.
Career ServicesCompare job boards, employer partnerships, resume support, interview preparation, and alumni mentoring.
Research AccessFor graduate-school or professional-school pathways, look for undergraduate research assistant roles and lab access.
Outcome QuestionsAsk where graduates work or study next, and whether outcomes differ by program, co-op stream, or campus.

ENAP applicants should begin with the institution’s graduate-only public-administration scope, then distinguish professional, manager, research, experience, preparatory, short-program, and doctoral requirements. They should use the confirmed Fall 2027 international opening and academic calendar while keeping the international closing date pending; apply the published French-test rules; compare 2026–2027 tuition by residency and program profile; keep graduate awards tied to their exact eligibility rules; treat Québec, Montréal, and Gatineau housing as limited partner access rather than ENAP residence; and distinguish professional MAP stages and organizational projects from research opportunities and a universal co-op promise.
