Cégep de Chicoutimi offers Diploma in History and Civilization, a diploma in History programme in Saguenay, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 14,708 per year.
History and Civilization is a pre-university Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered at Cegep de Chicoutimi, with a choice between two profiles: Ethnology and Psychology. The program examines the intellectual and cultural heritage of civilizations through disciplines including history, philosophy, religion, sociology, literature, mathematics, and the sciences, with the aim of building a critical understanding of how Western society has developed and situating students within major contemporary issues. Class sizes are kept small, and most courses in the program are taught in cohort groups made up of students from the same program to support closer academic support. A course-recognition partnership with the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) lets students have certain courses recognized toward UQAC programs, and coursework can be supplemented with visits to UQAC's archaeology laboratory. The program suits students who enjoy reading, writing, and history, are curious about human societies, and want a broad grounding in humanities and social-science research methods before continuing to university in fields connected to history, ethnology, anthropology, or related humanities disciplines, depending on the profile chosen.
