HEC Montréal (French: Hautes études commerciales de Montréal; English: High Commercial Studies of Montreal) is a bilingual public business school located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1907, HEC Montréal is the graduate business school of the Université de Montréal and is known as the first established school of management in Canada.[2][3]

HEC Montréal offers undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs including Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Master of Science in Administration (MSc), Master of Management (MM), Master of Business Administration (MBA) and PhD in Administration, in addition to a joint Executive MBA program with McGill University.

In 2016, HEC Montréal was ranked first by value among Canada's business schools for its MBA program by Canadian Business.[4] It was ranked 16th worldwide among non-US business schools for "One Year International MBA programs" by Forbes[5] and 29th in "International MBAs" by Bloomberg BusinessWeek[6] in 2015.

History

HEC Montréal was founded in 1907 by the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal. Its initial building in Viger Square is now called the Gilles Hocquart Building.[2]

As of 2021, the centenary of the HEC Montréal Alumni Association, the school had over 100,000 alumni.[7]

Buildings

The Decelles Campus: 1970–today

In 1970, Robert Bourassa inaugurated the Decelles building of HEC Montreal,[12] named "the School on the mountain." The students sometimes use the expression "Bunker" to refer to it due to the use of concrete for the exterior facade and the absence of windows.

In 1976, the PhD program was proposed, in collaboration with McGill University. The MSc program was created the same year.[12]

Under the presidency of Pierre Harvey (HEC 1948), the 75th anniversary of the School was celebrated in 1982 with René Lévesque, then Premier of Quebec, in attendance. The 7th floor of the Decelles building was inaugurated on this occasion.

Between 2010 and 2012, the 3rd and 4th floors were renovated.[13]

The Côte-Sainte-Catherine Campus: 1996–today

New building in downtown Montreal

HEC Montréal's main building was constructed in 1996 and has since won an award for "institutional architecture."[14] The building was designed by Dan Hanganu and Jodoin, Lamarre, Pratte and Associates[15] and is situated at 3000 Côte-Sainte-Catherine (Map[16]), next to the Université-de-Montréal Metro Station. The former main building at 5255 Decelles (Map[16]) is now used as a secondary building. The first building used by HEC Montréal was located in downtown Montreal but is no longer used by the school.

The trading floor of the School was inaugurated in 1997, it was conceived to be usable in case the Montreal Stock Exchange ever had major engineering problems. Now known as the Salle des marchés Financière Banque Nationale, it was renovated in 2007 in order to remain technologically current.
