Program details
Overview
This Double DEC combines a Sciences humaines profile on comportement humain et citoyenneté (described on the page as focused on the individual and society) with the Arts visuels program, letting students work toward two college diplomas together rather than pursuing them separately. The Sciences humaines side develops understanding of contemporary societies and of different peoples, nations, and cultures, while the Arts visuels side builds artistic expression and creative skills. Together, the two disciplines are meant to broaden a student's perspective, combining social-science analysis with hands-on visual-art practice, including opportunities to develop creative work. The college's page frames the combination as suited to students who want a rich, sensory artistic experience alongside deeper knowledge of human behaviour and social groups. It lists a wide range of possible university destinations after the Double DEC, spanning fields such as anthropology, communication, design, psychology, and social sciences, provided admission requirements are met at the receiving institution. The stated secondary-school prerequisite is Culture, société et technique from the fourth year of secondary school, with a possible upgrading pathway for students missing prerequisites. It suits students who want to pair social-science study with sustained visual-arts practice while keeping a broad range of university options open.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This Comportement humain et citoyenneté profile, combined with Arts visuels, 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.
