Program details
Overview
Sciences, informatique et mathématique is a pre-university DEC focused on applied sciences and computer science. The program resembles Sciences de la nature but is distinguished by its emphasis on building strong programming skills alongside scientific coursework. Students develop knowledge and abilities across computer science, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and learn to apply scientific concepts to the design of computer programs, building analytical and problem-solving capacity along the way. Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu's page highlights interdisciplinary projects, both short- and longer-term, that students take part in starting from their very first session. As with other pre-university programs at the college, students also complete general-education coursework in areas such as language, philosophy, and physical education. It suits students who want a scientific foundation similar to Sciences de la nature but with a stronger orientation toward programming and computing, as preparation for university studies in fields such as computer science, engineering, or the applied and pure sciences.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires the Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) plus the prerequisites stated on the programme's own conditions d'admission page: Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles de 5e secondaire (TS 5e / SN 5e), Chimie de 5e secondaire, and Physique de 5e secondaire. Students who completed their DES before 2010 are directed to SRAM's equivalency table for the former curriculum. 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.
