Diploma in Musique et Danse is a diploma in Music programme taught at Cégep de Drummondville in Drummondville, Canada. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
This Double DEC pairs the pre-university Musique program with the pre-university Danse program at Cégep de Drummondville, letting students earn both diplomas over three years of combined study. The music strand builds performance technique and music theory through applied lessons and ensemble work, while the dance strand combines technical dance training with choreography and dance history; both typically lead toward conservatory-level training, university programs in the performing arts, or professional performance work. Following the two performing-arts curricula together adds to the workload compared with a single pre-university DEC, and admission depends on meeting the entrance requirements of both individual programs, including whatever audition each program requires. On completion, students receive two separate Diplômes d'études collégiales rather than a single combined credential. The program suits students pursuing serious training in both music and dance who want to keep both performing-arts paths open rather than specializing in only one before continuing their studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this double-DEC pathway (Musique combined with Danse) requires 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 via Tremplin DEC, per the institution's admission requirements. The programme page additionally requires a secondary 5 school record with a grade above 70% in French, and applicants must satisfy the specific requirements of each of the two chosen programs; Cegep de Drummondville's standalone Musique page states selection there is based on an audition, with remedial coursework possible if weaknesses are identified, while the Danse component's own page requires no prior dance experience, only a post-admission placement test. Fall intake; duration 3 years; non-contingente.
