Collège Lionel Groulx offers Diploma in Arts, lettres et communication : option Médias, a diploma in Film & Animation programme in Sainte-Thérèse, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
Arts, lettres et communication, option Médias, profil Cinéma et communication, is a pre-university DEC profile combining film studies with communications training. The program page describes a hybrid curriculum built around four axes: photo and video creation techniques, the study of cinema (history and aesthetics), the study of media (print and radio journalism, and advertising), and exploration of the arts (theatre, art history, literature). It states that students in the profile are drawn equally to cinema and to social issues, want to create with technological tools, and need to express themselves in both speech and writing; the profile includes a trip to Europe and an end-of-studies gala screening event called the Golden Groulx. Program objectives include building broad and rigorous general culture, appreciating cinematic works (fiction and documentary), experimenting with creative formats such as short films, advertisements, radio programs, screenwriting, and photography, developing analytical skills, and building technical proficiency with media and film tools. Admission follows the general college conditions with no additional subject prerequisites and no admission quota. Graduates gain access to university programs including cultural action, communication, film studies, television, interactive media, journalism, public relations, cultural and media production strategy, interior design, law and international law, screenwriting and creative writing, teaching, and literary studies.
