Offered by Cégep de Saint-Laurent in Montréal, Canada, Diploma in Sciences humaines et Musique is a diploma in Music programme. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
This double DEC runs over six sessions (three years), combining the pre-university Sciences humaines program with a classical-instrument stream of the Musique program; separate pages cover a composition-profile and a jazz-instrument-profile version of the same combination. The Sciences humaines side begins with a common first-year core spanning psychology, world history, sociology, economics and research methods, before moving into further social-science coursework. The music side adds solfege and dictation, harmonic analysis and writing, music literature, and ensemble playing alongside principal and secondary instrument study, each pairing a private lesson with small-group laboratory practice. The two streams are taken in parallel across the program and finish with an integrated final project. The program suits students who want serious classical-instrument training and performance experience alongside the broad social-science grounding of Sciences humaines, rather than choosing only one of the two separate pre-university DECs.
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 humaines side, the non-Mathématiques profiles require CST Mathematics from 4th secondary (or Mathematics 416); on the Musique side, admission means passing the department's audition, with Musique's own competitive-entry index varying by instrument. The combined programme is admitted once a year, in the Fall, and runs three years to two separate DECs.
