Cégep Garneau offers Diploma in International Baccalaureate, a diploma in Liberal Arts programme in Québec, Canada. Tuition for international students is CAD 7,575 per semester (CAD 286 per semester for local students).
International Baccalaureate is a pre-university program (code 200.Z1) offered by Cégep Garneau in Quebec City that combines the International Baccalaureate diploma with a Quebec Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) in Natural Sciences, so students graduate holding both credentials. After a common first year, students choose between two profiles: Health Sciences, which emphasizes biology with reduced physics, and Pure and Applied Sciences, which emphasizes physics and mathematics with less biology; two other profiles, in business management and international studies, have admissions suspended from fall 2026. The curriculum layers IB-specific requirements onto the DEC science sequence, including four literature courses, two theory-of-knowledge courses, language instruction in English or Spanish, four mathematics courses, at least nine science courses, and a 4,000-word extended research essay. The program is based at Cégep Garneau's Quebec City campus. It suits academically strong secondary graduates seeking a demanding, internationally recognized pre-university pathway into competitive university science, health or related programs, on top of Quebec's standard collegial science preparation.
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRACQ (Service régional d'admission au collégial de Québec) for programmes starting in 2027: the Fall 2027 intake has a first-round deadline of 1 March 2027, with further rounds on 1 May, 1 June and 1 August 2027 filling remaining seats; the Winter 2027 intake closes its first round on 1 November 2026, then 1 December 2026 and 2 January 2027. International applicants outside France apply through SRACQ from 1 September 2026 and must complete their file by 1 February 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, after which no international candidate can be admitted; Winter entry is offered only to French citizens, who may apply until 1 May 2027 for Fall or between 15 May and 15 October 2027 for Winter 2028. Admission is not indefinitely rolling: each round carries a firm cut-off, though later rounds absorb whatever seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
