Program details
Overview
Histoire et civilisation (700.B0) is a two-year preuniversity DEC at Cégep de Trois-Rivières centred on the intellectual and cultural heritage of Western civilization, studied through the liberal-arts tradition of history, philosophy, art history, mythology, religion, and science. Students trace the evolution of ideas from antiquity to the present, developing a critical perspective on major human and social questions, and examine the legacy of music, film, and philosophy across historical periods. The program emphasizes reflection, inquiry, and research, supported by activities such as the Mercredis HC series, museum visits, a philosophy-focused colloquium (PhiloNeige), and study trips to Rome and Greece. Graduates of the program can receive recognition of course credit toward bachelor's degrees in history and in philosophy at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. The program suits students drawn to the humanities who want a multidisciplinary grounding before pursuing university studies in fields such as history, political science, anthropology, or archaeology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Histoire et civilisation (700.B0) rests on Cégep de Trois-Rivières' general collegial admission conditions: a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) from the youth or adult sector, or a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) plus Secondary 5 language of instruction, Secondary 5 second language and Secondary 4 mathematics, applied for through the SRAM network. The programme itself adds one further prerequisite: Secondary 4 Mathematics CST (or Mathematics 416 under the former numbering). No other subject prerequisite, minimum grade, portfolio, interview or language-proficiency test is stated on the programme page, which instead directs prospective students to their guidance counsellor for any additional university-admission conditions tied to further study.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM): for Fall 2027 entry the equal-consideration date (1st round) is 1 March 2027, followed by a second round in early-to-mid April and a third around mid-to-late May, with the college noting exact round-2/3 dates vary slightly each year; Winter 2027 entry opened 15 September 2026 with a 1 November 2026 first-round deadline and a late-November second round. International applicants apply directly through SRAM as well and face a firm 14 March 2027 closing date for Fall 2027 day programmes, with the college advising early submission because of immigration-processing timelines; no separate winter international deadline is published. Admission proceeds round by round on a rolling basis until each round's seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
