Program details
Overview
This pre-university program (500.AH) is the Études Littéraires option within the Arts, Lettres et Communication DEC at Collège Ahuntsic. It centers on French, Québécois, and world literature, including contemporary works, balancing literary theory with creative writing. The page describes a study trip to Paris tied to literary and historical sites, a collective creative production such as a fiction podcast or stage play produced in the Production course, and student participation in editing and publishing the program's own literary magazine, Horizons, in collaboration with students from the Graphisme program. Students also take part in outings to Montreal's museums and theatres through a dedicated cultural-life course and can receive free theatre tickets funded by the college's foundation. The DEC leads toward university studies in fields such as literature, communication, journalism, law, translation, and teaching. It suits students with a strong interest in literature and the arts who want to develop analytical and writing skills and produce their own creative work.

Admission Requirements: The program page sets no course prerequisite beyond a Diplome d'etudes secondaires (DES).

Applicants whose Secondary 5 language of instruction was not French must pass the College's own French-language test. Admission is processed through SRAM's three-round system, with a Fall intake only and no Winter admission, per the program page.
