Offered by Collège de Maisonneuve in Montréal, Canada, Diploma in Sciences de la nature et Sciences humaines is a diploma in Environmental Sciences programme. The programme runs for 6 semesters. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,150 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Double DEC – Environnement et enjeux planétaires (200.12) is a pre-university program leading to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) over six terms, offered exclusively at Collège de Maisonneuve. It combines the core curricula of the Sciences de la nature and Sciences humaines programs with modules specifically focused on environmental issues, allowing students to examine environmental challenges from both a natural-science and a social-science perspective. The program is multidisciplinary by design: students draw on the range of courses and activities offered in both parent programs while completing coursework and laboratory work oriented toward environmental themes and social-innovation practices from the first term onward. Class sizes are kept small. Students have access to the college's science laboratories and can take part in an interdisciplinary field study trip to the Nitassinan/Côte-Nord region, including the Manicouagan reservoir, and the program has ties to two college technology-transfer research centres with an environmental mandate, CÉPROCQ and ITEGA. As a pre-university diploma, it is designed to prepare graduates for admission to any university program, including engineering, administration, law, communication, pharmacy, and medicine. It suits students who want a rigorous science foundation combined with a strong focus on environmental and social issues before choosing a university major.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Double DEC in Environnement et enjeux planétaires requires the DES (Diplôme d'études secondaires) or equivalent training, plus three 5e secondaire prerequisites: mathematics (Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles), chemistry, and physics (or their recognised equivalents). Candidates must hold or be completing these prerequisites and may need to pass programme-specific tests; the college states this DEC admits for the fall (automne) session only. Applications go exclusively through the SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca). Sport-Études athletes follow the Alliance Sport-Études criteria, and adults with prior college or university study may access an intensive DEC format. International applicants must additionally meet Collège de Maisonneuve's own requirements: an equivalent-to-baccalauréat credential and French at level B2 across all four skills (TEF, TCF tout public, CIEP or Bright-langue; no numeric threshold is published).
