Diploma in Arts, lettres et communication et Danse at Cégep de Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, Canada is a diploma in Arts & Culture programme. The programme runs for 2 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
Arts, lettres et communication et Danse (500.15) is a double-DEC pre-university program at Cégep de Sherbrooke combining the Arts, lettres et communication program with the Danse program (code 506.A0) so a student earns two diplomas of college studies together. The Arts, lettres et communication component offers specialized tracks in médias, littérature and langues, built around journalism, advertising, photography, video, world literature, creative writing and added Spanish or German. The Danse component trains students technically across contemporary, jazz-modern and classical styles, moving from foundational technique in the earlier sessions to choreography and performance interpretation later in the program, working with professional choreographers and staged productions, while developing artistic sensitivity, creativity and movement mastery. Both halves also carry the standard pre-university general education courses in philosophy, literature and physical education. The combined program suits students who want to keep training seriously as dancers while also building a broader arts, media, language and literary foundation, and it preserves access to university programs available through the Arts, lettres et communication credential.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This is the Double DEC combining Arts, lettres et communication with Danse. Beyond the Cégep's general admission conditions (a DES with the required units in language of instruction, second language and mathematics, with levelling activities if short), the programme's own page states that mastery of French is an asset for success. As the dance component of this double DEC, applicants must also pass an audition ('Réussir l'audition'); for late admissions the audition is completed by video, with details sent to candidates after registration. No language test score, minimum GPA, or portfolio submission is published for this programme.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM), which also covers cégeps outside the Montreal region: Winter 2027 entry opens 15 September 2026, with a round-one deadline of 1 November 2026 and a round-two deadline of 25 November 2026; Fall 2027 entry follows SRAM's recurring round-one deadline of 1 March 2027, though the cégep's site has not yet posted a dated row for that cycle (its Fall 2026 table is marked as closed). International applicants follow a separate SRAM timeline, confirmed directly on the cégep's site: Fall 2027 applications run from 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027, and Winter 2028 applications run from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is not open-ended rolling, but SRAM runs successive rounds for as long as places remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
