Program details
Overview
Sciences humaines, Découverte du monde profile is a two-year pre-university DEC that approaches the humanities and social sciences through the lens of global cultural, economic, and political systems. Students draw on economics, political science, sociology, anthropology, geography, and history to examine world regions, social movements, human rights, international politics, and current global debates, developing the ability to analyze historical, economic, and political phenomena across different societies, to critically examine social issues at both local and international scales, and to consider questions of human development and the relationship between individuals and society. Admission requirements depend on the mathematics path chosen: students without a mathematics component need Secondary 4 Culture, société et technique, while those choosing the mathematics option need Secondary 5 Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles. The program includes optional international experiences and cultural exchanges, a double-DEC option combining it with a languages program, and a week-long immersion at the Quebec National Assembly; admission is also possible in the winter session. It suits students interested in international affairs, current events, and the social sciences who want breadth before committing to a specific discipline. Graduates typically continue into university programs such as international relations, political science, sociology, economics, law, or journalism.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows Cegep de Levis's general college requirements: a Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES) or Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP), equivalent training recognized by the college, or sufficient training and experience after at least 24 cumulative months away from full-time study. For the Sciences humaines, profil Decouverte du monde programme, applicants without a mathematics profile need Mathematiques Culture, societe et technique 4e; those choosing the mathematics track need Mathematiques Technico-sciences 5e or Sciences naturelles 5e. Applicants admitted on a DEP must also have completed Secondary V language of instruction, Secondary V second language, and Secondary IV mathematics. Instruction is in French; no separate English or French proficiency test score is published for this programme, the DES or DEP serving as the language credential. No portfolio, interview, or other condition is stated.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall and Winter
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service regional d'admission au collegial de Quebec (SRACQ) in rounds: for Fall 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 March 2027 (recommended for contingented programmes), with further rounds on 1 May, 1 June and 1 August, and late registration still possible by appointment afterward; Winter 2027 entry has round deadlines of 1 November 2026, 1 December 2026, 2 January 2027 and 12 January 2027. International applicants apply through the same SRACQ process but the college publishes no fixed international closing date, only post-admission steps such as a 5,000 CAD tuition deposit and a CAQ/study permit process that can take 12 or more weeks. Admission runs through successive rounds rather than a single hard cutoff, so later applicants are still considered while seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
