At Cégep de Baie-Comeau in Baie-Comeau, Canada, Diploma in Natural Sciences is offered as a diploma in Natural Sciences programme. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 7,575 per semester.
Natural Sciences (200.B1) is the pre-university science DEC at Cégep de Baie-Comeau, completed over four sessions. The curriculum pairs general education in French literature, philosophy, English and physical education with core science coursework spanning ecology and evolution, probability and statistics, differential and integral calculus, general and solution chemistry, cell biology, mechanics, electricity and magnetism, scientific programming, and modern physics. Students select electives such as anatomy and physiology, advanced mathematics, or organic chemistry to focus their preparation. The final session includes a synthesis project that students present publicly, bringing together learning from across the program. The DEC targets students with strong reasoning, observation, analysis and synthesis abilities who are drawn to pure, applied or health sciences, and it is intended as preparation for university study in those fields as well as engineering. Admission follows the college's general secondary science-stream prerequisites in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
