Program details
Overview
Sciences de la nature is a pre-university DEC (200.B1) at Cégep André-Laurendeau that prepares students for university study across the pure, applied, health, and life sciences. Coursework builds knowledge in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics, alongside skills in analyzing complex scientific and societal issues, weighing ethical and environmental risks, applying the scientific method, evaluating sources, and communicating findings clearly in writing and speech. Students choose between two course sequences that differ in the order science courses are taken, letting them start with a preferred subject in their first session; both sequences share the same optional-course choices and include the university prerequisites needed for health-related programs. The page describes a first-session academic-support project and ongoing advising, well-equipped science laboratories, and a capstone team project presented at the college's expo-sciences. Students can take part in community outreach, such as running science workshops for elementary students or participating in the Eurêka festival, and a three-year course sequence is available for students who want more time for competitive sport or extracurricular activities. Graduates go on to a wide range of university programs, from engineering, physics, and computer science to medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and other health and life sciences. The program suits students planning further study in a science-related discipline.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Prerequisites (préalables), exactly as published on the program's own page: DES + Mathématiques TS 5e ou SN 5e + Chimie 5e + Physique 5e; OR DES + Mathématiques 536 + Physique 534 + Chimie 534. No minimum grade, interview or portfolio is stated. Apply through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca); the college's general first-round deadlines apply (1 March for Fall, 1 November for Winter).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: Fall 2027 entry opens mid-January 2027 with a first-round deadline of 1 March 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens mid-September 2026 (SRAM: 15 September 2026) with a deadline of 1 November 2026. International applicants also use SRAM: the Fall 2027 deadline is 14 March 2027; the Winter 2027 international window already closed 31 May 2026, so the live one is Winter 2028 entry, closing 31 May 2027. Only a handful of technical programmes (Soins infirmiers, Techniques d'éducation à l'enfance, Techniques de travail social, Gestion des opérations et de la chaîne logistique, and one more) admit international students. Admission is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
