UQO (Université du Québec en Outaouais) takes a particular approach: students at the master’s level follow UQO standards, while students at the doctoral level in education follow the standards of UQAM. The doctorate in education is in fact a network program offered by UQAM in association with UQAC, UQAR, UQAT, UQO and UQTR; its presentation standards are available at guidemt.uqam.ca.
