Collège d'Alma offers Diploma in Arts, Letters and Communication, a diploma in Liberal Arts programme in Alma, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 7,575 per semester.
This program leads to a DEC (Diploma of College Studies) in Arts, Letters and Communication at Collège d'Alma, completed over two years across four semesters of full-time, on-campus study. Coursework spans visual arts, theatre and film, including film analysis and cinematography; literature and linguistics, including literary studies, languages and translation; communication and media, including journalism, public relations, social media, radio and television; and cultural studies covering contemporary diversity, popular culture and Quebec theatre. Students work as creators through hands-on projects across these fields, and the program concludes with a final project and a synthesis examination. It suits students with a desire to create and express themselves, curiosity about the world, and an interest in film, theatre, literature, languages or media. Graduates typically continue into university programs in culture, literature, communications, teaching or the humanities. Students living more than 60 kilometres from the college may qualify for an annual mobility bursary.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this diploma follows Collège d'Alma's general admission conditions rather than a set of program-specific prerequisites, so the requirement here is the institution's own admission policy: a Secondary School Diploma (DES); a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) together with Secondary 5 courses in the language of instruction and the second language and Secondary 4 mathematics; training judged equivalent by the college; sufficient training and experience following 36 months or more of uninterrupted full-time study; or, for applicants missing six credits or fewer toward the DES, conditional admission with a commitment to complete them in the first session, with the college also weighing the overall quality of the application file. No French or English language-proficiency test score, portfolio, or interview is published as a requirement for this program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional de l'admission des cégeps du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (SRASL): for the September 2027 intake, admission rounds close 1 March, 1 May and 1 June 2027, and for January 2027 entry the round closes 1 November 2026, with some programmes not offered at Winter intake. International applicants submit the same SRASL online application and are not given a separate closing date by Collège d'Alma; the college's international-students page directs them to the SRASL portal rather than publishing a distinct international deadline for the 2027 cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
