Program details
Overview
Sciences, lettres et arts is a two-year pre-university Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) at Cegep de Rimouski that combines natural sciences, humanities and arts within a single cohort-based program. Across four trimesters, the curriculum includes science courses such as calculus, chemistry, biology, physics and statistics; humanities courses in philosophy, French and international literature, history, psychology, economics and geography; and arts courses in art history and artistic production, alongside physical education at multiple levels. Students in the program keep aligned schedules to support group work, and the year includes pedagogical trips each autumn along with cultural outings, industrial visits, conferences and outdoor excursions; volunteer activities can also be noted on the transcript. Cegep de Rimouski is described by the college as the only institution east of Quebec City offering this three-discipline combination. The program suits students who want to keep multiple university pathways open rather than commit early to one discipline, giving access to university programs across health sciences, pure and applied sciences, humanities, literature, education and business administration. Admission requires Secondary V chemistry, physics and mathematics in the techno-sciences or natural sciences sequence.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission runs through Quebec's collegial admissions portal (SRACQ). Applicants who meet the published requirements are generally admitted; anyone missing a prerequisite can complete it through the Tremplin DEC pathway before starting the program. Required: a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) or its equivalent, plus Chemistry (5th year secondary), Mathematics under either the Technico-sciences or the Sciences naturelles sequence (5th year secondary), and Physics (5th year secondary). The programme page states no separate language-proficiency test, minimum grade or average, portfolio, interview, or work-experience requirement beyond these course prerequisites and the DES itself.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall and Winter
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service regional d'admission au collegial de Quebec (SRACQ): for Fall 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 March 2027, with further rounds in May, June and August, and for Winter 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 November 2026, with further rounds in December and January. International applicants apply through SRACQ's separate international-student portal, but Cegep de Rimouski publishes no fixed international closing date, and requires a 7,000 CAD pre-admission deposit before issuing an admission letter. Domestic admission proceeds through successive SRACQ rounds rather than one hard cutoff, so later applicants are still considered while seats remain; no international deadline is published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
