Program details
Overview
Gestion et technologies d'entreprise agricole (152.B0), presented on the college's site under the Agriculture urbaine banner, is a technical DEC described as a new three-year program adapted to current challenges in agriculture, including climate change and the food needs of urban populations. The page states that students progress from lower-technology to higher-technology agricultural practices, gaining expertise in designing and operating urban production systems, harvesting and processing food in an urban context, and applying responsible resource management that minimizes ecological footprint and makes use of generated biomass. It describes cultivation both outdoors on urban land and indoors in controlled-environment greenhouses, and lists non-traditional production methods covered, such as insect farming, urban beekeeping, mushroom cultivation, hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics, eco-grazing, urban forestry, and intensive agroecological market gardening. The program draws on the college's related expertise in engineering, biotechnology, and management, and uses existing on-site facilities - a greenhouse, urban apiary, garden, and green roof - as a working laboratory, with discussions underway for placements with outside partner organizations. It suits students interested in sustainable food systems, applied science, and entrepreneurship, including those considering starting their own urban agriculture venture.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page sets no course prerequisite beyond a Diplome d'etudes secondaires (DES). Under the College's general admission regulation R-11, applicants may also qualify with an equivalent Diplome d'etudes professionnelles plus the required 5th-secondary language-of-instruction, 5th-secondary second-language and 4th-secondary mathematics courses, or with training and experience the College judges sufficient after at least 24 cumulative months outside full-time study, provided they hold Canadian citizenship, permanent residence, a student visa or a ministerial authorization. Applicants whose Secondary 5 language of instruction was not French must pass the College's own French-language test. Admission is processed through SRAM, with the College ranking applicants by secondary and cegep results if seats are oversubscribed.

Admission is rolling round to round until each round's seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
