Program details
Overview
Sciences humaines (DEC 300.A1) is a pre-university program at Cégep de Sorel-Tracy designed to build the critical thinking, intellectual work habits, curiosity and self-knowledge needed for university studies in the social sciences. The program covers disciplines such as economics, geography, history, psychology, political science, sociology and administration, combined with the college's general-education curriculum. This entry corresponds to the profil universel, one of two recently updated exit profiles the program now offers; it lets students choose their second-year courses according to their own interests, with options such as international political current events, geography and climate change, the psychology of mental health, and contemporary history covering major twentieth-century conflicts. It suits students with an interest in one or more of the humanities and social-science disciplines listed above, an interest in human and social issues, a critical mind and openness to different perspectives, and a clear intention to continue on to university. The profile prepares students broadly for university programs across the social sciences and humanities rather than committing them to a single specialization in advance.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Domestic admission to the universal profile (300.M0) requires a Quebec DES or DEP with passes in Secondary V language of instruction, Secondary V second language, and Secondary IV mathematics, per Cégep de Sorel-Tracy's general college admission conditions. The profile's own prerequisite is Secondary IV Mathématique Culture, société et technique, or the equivalent. Applications are submitted through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca) as a regular candidate, with a non-refundable $30 fee. International applicants are admitted for the Fall session only and, unless they studied in French, in Quebec, in France, or at an accredited French lycée, must submit a French-proficiency test result — Bright Language, TCF tout public, DELF tout public (minimum level B2), DALF, or TEF — plus an $85 CAD SRAM application-analysis fee, by the 14 March deadline.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca): the college's page currently shows fall-intake rounds of 1 March, 22 April and 27 May 2026 (the cycle that has already started) and winter 2027 rounds of 1 November and 25 November 2026, with later applications assessed in successive rounds while seats remain; fall 2027 round dates were not yet published at the time of this check. International applicants apply through SRAM's international stream and must submit by 14 March for fall entry only, as the college does not offer winter intake to international students; SRAM does not publish a separate rolling window for these applicants beyond that fixed date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
