Program details
Overview
This Double DEC combines the pre-university Danse program with the pre-university Arts visuels program at Cégep de Drummondville, so students complete both diplomas in three years rather than pursuing either alone. The dance component combines technical dance training with choreography and dance history, typically leading toward university dance programs or professional performance work. The visual-arts component pairs studio practice in drawing, painting, sculpture and digital media with art history and theory, preparing students for university or specialized visual-arts and design programs. Because both artistic curricula run at the same time, the program takes a year longer than a single pre-university DEC, and admission requires meeting the entrance requirements of both individual programs. Graduates are awarded two separate Diplômes d'études collégiales. It suits students who want to develop as both performers and visual artists, maintaining a dual creative practice rather than choosing a single artistic direction before university.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this double-DEC pathway (Danse 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 requirements of each of the two chosen programs (Danse and Arts visuels), not detailed on this combined page; the standalone Danse page states no prior dance experience is required, only a post-admission placement test rather than an audition. Fall entry only; duration 3 years; non-contingente.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
