Offered by Cégep de Drummondville in Drummondville, Canada, Diploma in Sciences de la nature et Arts, lettres et communication is a diploma in Natural Sciences programme. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
This Double DEC combines the pre-university Sciences de la nature program with the pre-university Arts, lettres et communication program, which Cégep de Drummondville offers in two profiles — Langues, weighted toward language study, and Multidisciplinaire, a broader mix of arts, letters and communication courses — either of which can be paired with the science curriculum. The science side covers mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, the usual foundation for university science, health and engineering programs, while the Arts, lettres et communication side prepares students for university studies in languages, communication, literature or the humanities depending on the profile chosen. The combined program runs three years rather than the two years of a single pre-university DEC, reflecting the added course load of two concurrent curricula, and admission depends on meeting the requirements of both individual programs. Completion leads to two separate Diplômes d'études collégiales. It suits students who want to keep a scientific direction open while also pursuing a strong language or multidisciplinary arts-and-letters education before choosing a university program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This Double DEC's own page states three admission conditions: meet Cegep de Drummondville's general college admission conditions, present a school record with a grade above 70% in Secondary 5 French, and meet the particular requirements of the two chosen programmes. Sciences de la nature's own page requires Mathematics Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles from Secondary 5 (or Mathematics 536), Chemistry from Secondary 5 (or Chemistry 534), and Physics from Secondary 5 (or Physics 534). The Arts, lettres et communication (option Langues) page instead requires proficiency in English, without publishing a specific test or score, noting that the programme's duration can be extended for applicants who lack it; both components are non contingente. Intake is in the Fall term.
