Diploma in Arts, lettres et communication : option Langues is a diploma in Linguistics & Language Studies programme offered by Champlain Regional College in Sherbrooke, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
The Languages option of Arts, lettres et communication (Arts, Literature and Communication, DEC 500.A1) is a two-year pre-university diploma offered at Champlain College Lennoxville as its Languages and Communication profile. The curriculum centres on modern languages and cultures in a global context, teaching Spanish, German and Latin alongside strengthened French and English instruction, and introduces students to linguistics as an academic subject in addition to practical language skills. These language-focused courses are combined with complementary arts and communication classes and the general education requirements shared by all DEC programs. The program concludes with a comprehensive assessment in which students present an integrated project to an audience of peers and faculty. It suits students who enjoy communicating with others and are curious about languages and cultures, and it leads toward university study in fields such as translation, linguistics, journalism, communication studies, cultural studies or language education. Admission follows the college's general Diplôme d'études collégiales entry requirements.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Languages and Communication profile of Arts, Literature and Communication states no programme-specific academic prerequisites on its own page; general Lennoxville campus requirements apply, from Champlain Regional College's Fees and Admission Requirements page. Domestic applicants need a Secondary School Diploma (DES), or a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) with the required Secondary V subjects, and apply through SRAM with a $30.00 non-refundable fee ($10.00 if late). International applicants who attended schooling systems outside Canada need proof from Quebec's Ministry of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion (MIDI) or SRAM that their studies are equivalent to the Quebec Secondary V Diploma; the Fees and Admission Requirements page states no English or French proficiency test requirement for admission. High-demand Lennoxville programmes are assessed on academic performance; despite its language focus, this profile publishes no additional language-skill entrance test beyond the college-wide requirement. The Fall-semester application deadline is March 1st.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Applications to Champlain College-Lennoxville go through the Service regional d'admission du Montreal metropolitain (SRAM). First-round deadlines for Fall 2027 entry are 1 March 2027 for Quebec and Canadian applicants and 15 March 2027 for international applicants; for Winter 2027 entry the first-round deadlines are 1 November 2026 domestically and 1 June 2026 for international applicants, the latter already past by this fetch date. Missing the first round is not final: SRAM opens second and third rounds with remaining seats, though spaces are very limited, and round-one decisions become available from 2 April. Admission therefore runs through successive SRAM rounds rather than a single hard cutoff, so later applicants are still considered while seats remain. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
