Program details
Overview
Sciences, lettres et arts (700.A1) is a two-year preuniversity DEC at Cégep de Sherbrooke, admitting students in the fall, that builds a combined, structured view of the human sciences, natural sciences, letters, and arts rather than specializing in a single field. The program page describes a diversified, balanced, and rigorous multidisciplinary curriculum supported by the development of intellectual work methods and the ability to move independently between varied learning settings, within a community the page describes as fostering respectful, responsible, and sustainable relationships. Admission requires having passed prior secondary-level courses in mathematics (such as TS, SN, or Mathematics 536), chemistry, and physics. Graduates gain access to a wide range of university programs, with law named on the program page among the professional fields open to them. It suits students who are drawn simultaneously to the sciences, letters, and arts, have a strong capacity for learning, are curious about human beings, their creations, thought, and inventions, and enjoy an open, stimulating, and dynamic academic environment, typically as a broad foundation before choosing a more specialized university path.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Beyond the Cégep's general admission conditions (a DES carrying the required units in language of instruction, second language and mathematics — with levelling activities due by the end of the first or second session for students short on those units, or an equivalent formation including studies completed outside Quebec), this pre-university programme's own page requires three specific secondary-level courses: mathematics (TS 5e, SN 5e, or Mathématique 536), chemistry (Chimie 5e or Chimie 534), and physics (Physique 5e or Physique 534). No language test score, minimum GPA, portfolio submission or interview is published for this programme.
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.
