Overview
Sciences de la nature (code 200.B1) is a pre-university Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered by Cegep de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue at its Rouyn-Noranda, Val-d'Or, and Amos campuses. Admission requires Technical and Scientific Mathematics (TS) or Natural Sciences Mathematics (SN) from the fifth year of Quebec secondary school, together with fifth-year Physics and Chemistry. The program builds a broad science and mathematics foundation through laboratory experimentation and applied problem-solving in mathematics, alongside coursework examining the physical and biological mechanisms underlying natural phenomena and the human body. It is designed as a preparatory pathway into competitive university programs, and the college notes that it supports students through the demands of the admission-weighted R-score used by many faculties. Graduates are positioned for university study in fields such as agronomy, biology, biochemistry, engineering, mathematics, human, dental, or veterinary medicine, pharmacy, and geology. The program suits students with strong analytical and logical reasoning skills, an aptitude for calculation, good retention of technical material, and a genuine curiosity about how the natural world and the human body function, who intend to pursue a science-based university degree.
