Program details

Overview

Visual Arts is a pre-university Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered at Cegep de Sainte-Foy over two years, with intake in the fall term only. The program introduces students to the main dimensions of the creative process: conceptualization, technical mastery, and creative expression. Students work with materials, media, and visual language in specialized studio workshops covering painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, and traditional and digital printmaking. Coursework combines hands-on studio practice with the study of visual art history and theory, building a portfolio and technical foundation for further study. The diploma gives access to university programs in visual arts, art history, design, and related creative fields. It suits students who want to develop technical skill across multiple visual-art media while building a body of work toward university admission. A materials fee applies each session to cover studio and art supplies.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This program states no specific subject prerequisites beyond Cegep de Sainte-Foy's general CEGEP admission conditions, published on the college's admission page. Selection is based on the quality of the applicant's secondary school record rather than a published minimum average or a submitted portfolio at the application stage. No French or English language-proficiency test is mentioned for this program. The program is offered in the Fall term only, so applicants should plan to apply for a September start.
