A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution, including how each program addresses the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability:
Every year, HEC Montréal is sending group of students abroad through its Campus sans frontières program, for a period of 1 to 3 weeks depending on the program. The program is divided in 4 classes; one for Undergraduate students, one for graduate student (Master level), one for both undergraduate and graduate students, and one for MBA students only. These programs are designed to bring the students to make link between their learning in class and the reality of international management, by integrating the concept of sustainability in business. One of the classes, called Tour du Québec, is specifically designed around the theme of sustainability and entrepreunership. Students are participating in a 11 days bicycle ride that will bring them from Montréal (Qc.) to Boston (Ma), punctuated with professional visits and tour. HEC Montréal was awarded the AACSB prize in 2015 for its innovation and creativity for this course developed by Anne Pezet and Brian King. In 2016, Anne Pezet and Brian King received the HEC Montréal Prix de l'innovation pédagogique for the Campus Quebec: Tour du Québec by bike.
