Program details
Overview
Arts, lettres et communication (500.A1) is a two-year preuniversity DEC at Cégep de Sherbrooke, admitting students in the fall, that builds general culture across art history, literature, cinema, Québec culture, linguistics, and languages, while developing research and analytical work methods through creation, analysis, and critique activities. The program page describes three options; this record corresponds to the Médias option, which introduces students specifically to the world of communications, journalism, advertising, photography, and video production. A strong command of French supports success in the program overall. Graduates of the program have access to a wide range of university programs in fields the page lists as education, communication, film, literature, art history, languages, translation, law, linguistics, and human sciences. It suits students drawn to general and artistic culture who are passionate about French and other languages, want to explore varied modes of creation and expression through media-focused work, and have an interest in how communications and journalism operate, typically as preparation for university studies in communication, media, or related fields. The option sits within the broader Arts, lettres et communication program, which also offers Littérature and Langues options as well as double-DEC combinations with Music or Dance for students who wish to pair the program with a performing art.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This is the Médias option of Arts, lettres et communication. The programme page states applicants must satisfy the Cégep's general admission conditions: a DES carrying the required units in language of instruction, second language and mathematics, with levelling activities required if any are missing, or an equivalent formation including studies completed outside Quebec. For this option, the programme's own page adds that mastery of French is an asset for success. No specific course prerequisite beyond the general conditions, language test score, minimum GPA, portfolio or interview is published for this option.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
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.
