Program details
Overview
Sciences humaines is a two-year, full-time pre-university DEC with fall and winter intakes, offered at the main Salaberry-de-Valleyfield campus and, for this general profile covering Individu et société, Monde, and Sport, also at the Centre d'études de Vaudreuil-Dorion. The page describes the program as examining human behaviour and development and the relationships between individuals, tracing the history of civilization and humanity's evolving role in society, and covering economic development, business issues, power dynamics, political regimes, and contemporary challenges such as globalization, the environment, and geopolitical conflict from a civic-engagement perspective. Admission for this profile requires a secondary diploma plus grade-10 (CST) mathematics. Features named on the page include access to the Centre d'Aide en Sciences Humaines (CASH) for work cubicles, specialized documentation, and peer mentoring; the option to select a course with a practical-skills component near the end of the program; thematic seminars such as a mock parliamentary simulation at the National Assembly and current-events debates; and the possibility of organizing social, community, or environmental engagement activities. It suits students planning university studies in social sciences, education, law, or related humanities fields.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Sciences humaines, dans ses profils Individu et société, Monde et Sport, exige un diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) plus le préalable Mathématiques CST de 4e secondaire, selon la page du programme (qui distingue ce préalable de celui, plus élevé, exigé pour les profils Administration et économie et Mathématiques). Ce préalable s'ajoute à la base académique générale du Cégep de Valleyfield (DES, ou DEP avec réussite du français, de l'anglais de secondaire 5 et des mathématiques de secondaire 4, ou équivalence reconnue). Aucun score de test de langue anglaise ou française n'est publié pour ce programme francophone, et la page ne mentionne ni entrevue, ni portfolio, ni moyenne minimale. L'admission se fait aux sessions d'automne et d'hiver, via SRAM.
Application Details
Start Date:Automne et hiver
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: the college's most recently published Fall cycle (Fall 2026) opened 13 January 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 March 2026, 23:59, and the same 1 March pattern is expected to recur for Fall 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens mid-September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026, 23:59. Valleyfield publishes no fixed international application dates: for the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 cycles it accepts only international applicants already living in Quebec who completed part of their secondary or vocational studies there, so the general SRAM international calendar does not apply. Admission for domestic applicants is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
