Program details
Overview
This Double DEC combines the pre-university Arts, lettres et communication program at Cégep de Drummondville — available in a Langues profile weighted toward language study and a Multidisciplinaire profile covering a broader mix of arts, letters and communication courses, either of which fits this pairing — with the pre-university Arts visuels program, letting students earn both diplomas in three years. The Arts, lettres et communication side leads toward university studies in languages, communication, literature or the humanities depending on the profile, while Arts visuels combines studio practice in drawing, painting, sculpture and digital media with art history and theory, preparing students for university or specialized visual-arts programs. The concurrent course load makes the program a year longer than a single pre-university DEC, and admission depends on meeting both individual programs' entrance requirements. Graduates are awarded two separate Diplômes d'études collégiales. The combination suits students who want a serious studio-art practice alongside strong language or communication training.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this double-DEC pathway (Arts, lettres et communication, option Langues, combined with Arts visuels) follows Cegep de Drummondville's general collegial admission conditions: a Diplome d'etudes secondaires (DES); or a DEP plus completed Secondary 5 language of instruction, Secondary 5 second language and Secondary 4 mathematics; or no more than 6 units missing toward the DES, admitted via Tremplin DEC with the outstanding courses completed in the first term, per the institution's own admission requirements. The programme page additionally requires a secondary 5 school record with a grade above 70% in French, and applicants must separately satisfy the specific admission requirements of each of the two chosen programs (Arts, lettres et communication and Arts visuels), which this combined page does not itself detail. No English-test score, portfolio or interview is published. Fall entry only; duration 3 years; non-contingente.
