UQAR launches administration program at Baie-Comeau campus

Université du Québec à Rimouski has launched a three-year baccalaureate program in administration at its Baie-Comeau campus. The program–which includes a 140-hour internship–is intended to prepare learners for careers as managers and leaders in the region. Speaking to Radio-Canada, UQAR vice-rectrice à la planification et aux partenariats Mélanie Gagnon explained that a major goal of the university’s branch campuses is to increase the number of degree holders in the region that they serve. UQAR Professor Luc Foleu explained that the program is for students who have completed some higher education in the past or who are currently working. The new program will launch in Fall 2025.
