Program details

Overview

This is a pre-university Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) program in Human Sciences (Sciences humaines, program code 300.M0) at Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, offered under the Découverte (Discovery) profile for students who have not yet settled on a specific social-science focus. Coursework draws on philosophy, history, geography, psychology, anthropology, political science, sociology, economics, business studies, and communication and literature, giving students a broad, interdisciplinary introduction to analysing human and social realities before they commit to a specialization. As with the program's other profiles, students complete a required capstone synthesis course and the province-wide standardized French exam. The program runs full-time over four semesters (two years) on campus, with admission offered in both the Fall and Winter terms; instruction is in French, with English courses included in the general-education component. Graduates typically continue into university programs across the humanities and social sciences.
