Collège de Maisonneuve offers Diploma in Sciences, lettres et arts, a diploma in Liberal Arts programme in Montréal, Canada. The programme runs for 4 semesters. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,150 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Sciences, lettres et arts (700.A1) is an integrated pre-university program ('DEC intégré') at Collège de Maisonneuve leading to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) over four terms, combining a science curriculum with social-science and arts components. The program is designed for students who want a scientific education alongside opportunities to build creativity and general culture, integrating these disciplinary areas rather than treating them as separate streams; the college states this fosters intellectual openness and understanding of contemporary issues. Described learning activities include an interdisciplinary teaching week held at Mont-Tremblant National Park, where courses are delivered in outdoor settings such as by canoe or around a campfire and combine physical education, nutrition, and social, cultural, and scientific content; visits to Montreal galleries, museums, and theatres; life drawing; performance of a repertoire scene; and other artistic creation activities. Students can also take part in a multi-day cultural trip to New York focused on cultural life, museums, architecture, and public art. As a pre-university program, it is intended to prepare graduates for admission to any university program of their choice. It suits students who want a broad, integrated education spanning the sciences, humanities, and arts before specializing at university.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Sciences, lettres et arts (700.A1) requires the DES (Diplôme d'études secondaires) or equivalent training, plus three 5e secondaire prerequisites: mathematics (Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles, or the equivalent), chemistry, and physics (or their equivalents). Candidates must hold or be completing these prerequisites and may need to pass programme-specific tests, and the programme page directs applicants to the SRAM's own admission-conditions page since details can change without notice. Applications go exclusively through the SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca); no portfolio, interview or competitive-average threshold is stated. International applicants must additionally meet Collège de Maisonneuve's own institution-wide 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).
