Overview
Arts, Letters and Communication is a two-year pre-university Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC, program code 500.1E) offered by Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles at its Gaspé campus, with open (non-contingent) admission. The program lets students explore creative expression across literary writing, visual arts, theatre and music, combining studio and analytical courses with the study of Quebec's cultural heritage in song and literature. Course load runs from 21 to 24 hours per week across four sessions. Two optional pathways are available alongside the standard stream: Aventure-études, which adds weekly outdoor activities and weekend excursions, and Recherche-études, which involves students in concrete projects run through the college's research centres. The program also opens possibilities for international study exchanges or creative residencies abroad. It suits students with an interest in the arts, media or communications who intend to pursue university studies in fields such as literature, visual arts, theatre, film, journalism or communications, and who want broad exposure to creative disciplines before choosing a specialization.
