Program details
Overview
Arts, lettres et communication – option Langues (500.AL) is a two-year preuniversity DEC at Cégep de Trois-Rivières built around the study of four languages: English, Spanish, German, and Italian. Students develop oral and written communication skills to speak confidently in English, achieve solid proficiency in Spanish, and begin learning German and Italian, alongside coursework analyzing the cultures and civilizations associated with each language. Cultural projects and activities run throughout the program, and students may take part in cultural and language study trips to Rome, Munich, and Málaga. By the end of the DEC, students are prepared to pursue university studies in fields such as languages, communication, and education. The program suits students with a strong interest in language learning and intercultural exchange who want multilingual grounding before continuing into related university programs.
