Program details
Overview
This six-session (three-year) double DEC combines the pre-university Sciences de la nature curriculum with the Arts visuels program. The science side follows the standard sequence of differential and integral calculus, general through organic chemistry, mechanics, electricity and magnetism, cellular biology, human anatomy and physiology, microbiology and astrophysics. The visual-arts side progresses through drawing, painting and sculpture courses, from introductory observation and colour work to expressive and exploratory studio courses, alongside digital art, art history spanning the period before Impressionism through modern and contemporary art, printmaking, multidisciplinary visual-language creation, and two- and three-dimensional synthesis projects, plus performance and video art. The two streams run in parallel session by session, culminating in an integration project. The program suits students who want to keep the science prerequisites needed for university study in pure, applied or health sciences while developing sustained studio practice across drawing, painting, sculpture and other visual-art media, rather than choosing only one of the two separate pre-university programs.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: This combined programme's own page carries no admission section (it lists only the shared course grid); requirements are set on the Cégep's Doubles DEC overview and on each component programme's own page, both cited here. Doubles DEC admission requires a general average of at least 80% in 4th- and 5th-secondary, plus meeting the admission requirements of both chosen fields. On the Sciences de la nature side that means TS or SN Mathematics from 5th secondary (or Mathematics 536), Chemistry from 5th secondary (or Chemistry 534) and Physics from 5th secondary (or Physics 534); Arts visuels itself states no further course prerequisite and is non-quota. The combined programme is admitted once a year, in the Fall, and runs three years to two separate DECs.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants to Cégep de Saint-Laurent apply through the shared SRAM portal (admission.sram.qc.ca) serving Montréal-region cégeps. For Winter 2027, applications opened 15 September 2026, Round 1 closes 1 November 2026 and Round 2 closes 25 November 2026, with unfilled seats carried forward. SRAM has not yet posted Fall 2027 domestic dates. Internationally, SRAM's Fall 2027 window runs 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027; its next window (Winter 2028) runs 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is rolling by round, not a single fixed date. Cégep de Saint-Laurent's own website (cegepsl.qc.ca) was unreachable (repeated connection timeouts) this session; the dates above come directly from SRAM. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
