Cegep de Trois-Rivieres offers Diploma in Sciences, lettres et arts, a diploma in Liberal Arts programme in Trois-Rivières, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,150 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Sciences, lettres et arts (700.A1) is a two-year preuniversity DEC at Cégep de Trois-Rivières designed at the request of Québec universities to give students a broad foundation across natural science, human science, mathematics, arts, philosophy, and literature. Rather than specializing early, students study the language and core concepts of each discipline and learn to analyze scientific, social, and artistic questions from multiple angles, drawing connections between fields. The first term is structured to ease the transition to college-level study, and later terms allow some choice among science courses depending on a student's intended university path. The program follows a cohort model, with students taking their courses together, and includes activities such as museum visits, guest talks, and outdoor scientific field trips, plus optional entrepreneurial or scientific thematic tracks. Graduates gain access to nearly all university programs except Dance, Music, and Visual Arts. The program suits high-achieving students who want a rigorous, multidisciplinary foundation before committing to a specific university major.
