Program details
Overview
Sciences humaines, profil Comportement humain et citoyenneté is a pre-university DEC profile focused on psychology and sociology, examining society through the lenses of human, social, and cultural diversity, pluralism, and social inclusion. Coursework develops the ability to identify the biological, psychological, cultural, and social factors that shape human development, and builds a broader understanding of the individual in relation to the world that shapes and is shaped by them. Students learn to differentiate individual behaviours, group interactions, power relationships, and social dynamics within groups, and to understand how the organization of societies produces or reinforces social inequalities. As with the college's other Sciences humaines profiles, the program is paired with general-education coursework and includes access to a program coordinator for program-related questions. It suits students interested in human behaviour, social relationships, and societal structures who want a Sciences humaines pathway oriented toward psychology and sociology, as preparation for university studies in fields such as psychology, sociology, social work, or related social sciences.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This Comportement humain et citoyenneté profile requires the Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) plus Culture, société et technique de 4e secondaire (CST 4e), as stated on the Sciences humaines conditions d'admission page. Students missing the prerequisite may be admitted to an upgrading ("mise à niveau") pathway, and those who completed their DES before 2010 are directed to SRAM's equivalency table. Québec and Canadian applicants apply exclusively through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM, admission.sram.qc.ca); for fall entry the first round closes March 1 (with possible second and third rounds), and for winter entry the first round closes November 1. International applicants must show the equivalent of eleven completed years of schooling, evaluated by the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration (MIFI) or by SRAM; the Cégep recommends the Bright test at level C1 (at least 4.0 on the CEFR scale), filed in the SRAM dossier. Applications go through SRAM's international-candidates section with card payment online; for fall entry the window opens March 15 of the prior year and closes March 14, and for winter entry it opens June 1 two years before and closes May 31 one year before. The Cégep typically replies three to eight weeks after a complete file is submitted.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: for Fall 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 March 2027, with second and third rounds assessed while seats remain; for Winter 2027 entry SRAM opens 15 September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026. International applicants also apply through SRAM: the Fall 2027 file-completion deadline is 14 March 2027 (window opened 15 March 2026); the Winter international window for Winter 2027 entry already closed 31 May 2026, so the current one is for Winter 2028 entry, opening 1 June 2026 and closing 31 May 2027. Techniques de physiothérapie does not admit international students. Admission is not rolling beyond these SRAM rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
