Program details
Overview
This two-year pre-university program (DEC 500.AE) introduces students to communications, cinema and audiovisual production, literature, languages, and visual culture. Coursework spans journalism, public relations, marketing and advertising alongside French, English and Spanish language study, photography, and the history of art. Over four semesters, students combine general education (French, philosophy, English, physical education) with concentration courses that progress from cultural-issues and Spanish-language foundations toward cinema studies, critical analysis of media, and an interdisciplinary capstone creation project. The program is designed for students drawn to expression and communication who want to explore several creative and cultural disciplines before choosing a university specialization, and it emphasizes developing critical thinking alongside creative production. Graduates typically continue to university programs in teaching, journalism, communications, law, languages, or cinema studies. The program follows the college's standard admission requirements and carries no enrollment quota.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Arts, Literature and Communication follows Cégep de Rivière-du-Loup's general admission conditions rather than a program-specific prerequisite list; the program page states no additional Secondary 5 course requirements. Under the general conditions, applicants need a Quebec Secondary School Diploma (DES) from the youth or adult sector, or a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) with the three mandatory Secondary 5 subjects — language of instruction, second language, and Secondary 4 mathematics — or training and experience judged equivalent for candidates who have interrupted full-time studies for at least 24 months. Candidates missing up to six units toward the DES, or the three mandatory DEP subjects, may be admitted conditionally provided they complete the missing units during their first college session. The program carries no enrollment quota (contingentement: aucun) and admits for the fall term. No language-proficiency test scores, portfolio, or interview are stated on the program or general admission pages.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRACQ (Service régional d'admission au collégial de Québec) for programmes starting in 2027: the Fall 2027 intake has a first-round deadline of 1 March 2027, with further rounds on 1 May, 1 June and 1 August 2027 filling remaining seats; the Winter 2027 intake closes its first round on 1 November 2026, then 1 December 2026 and 2 January 2027. International applicants outside France apply through SRACQ from 1 September 2026 and must complete their file by 1 February 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, after which no international candidate can be admitted; Winter entry is offered only to French citizens, who may apply until 1 May 2027 for Fall or between 15 May and 15 October 2027 for Winter 2028. Admission is not indefinitely rolling: each round carries a firm cut-off, though later rounds absorb whatever seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
