Program details
Overview
Histoire et civilisation is a two-year pre-university DEC at Collège Lionel-Groulx, with fall or winter admission and no enrollment cap; the only stated prerequisite is fourth-year CST mathematics (or 416). The program builds broad general culture through the study of civilizations across history, art, science, politics, music, and literature, drawing on disciplines including geography, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology. It includes activities outside the classroom such as museum visits and guest lectures, and offers an archaeological field placement in Argilos, Greece, in the first year and a trip to Italy tied to a course in the final session. Small class groups and a dedicated teaching team are intended to foster close relationships among students. The program develops research, reading, and analytical-writing skills, and according to the college it prepares students well for university programs in the social sciences, including law, education, international studies, and criminology. It suits students curious about past and present societies, interested in other civilizations and cultures, and drawn to broad humanities study rather than a single specialized field before choosing a university major.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows Collège Lionel Groulx's general admission conditions: a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES); a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) plus fifth-secondary French, fifth-secondary second language and fourth-secondary mathematics; training the College judges equivalent; or training and experience the College judges sufficient, with at least 24 cumulative months outside full-time study. Every applicant must show adequate spoken and written French, and anyone without a francophone-sector DES must pass the Bright French-knowledge test the College has adopted, scoring at least 3.7 on the written part, the oral part, and overall. Beyond these general conditions, the programme's only stated prerequisite is fourth-secondary Mathématique CST (or the former code 416). The programme carries no enrolment cap (aucun contingentement), and applications go through SRAM. This programme admits in both the Fall and Winter terms.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca: the college's own admission page states an equal-consideration date of 1 March for Fall entry and 1 November for Winter entry, which for the 2027 cycle fall on 1 March 2027 (Fall) and 1 November 2026 (Winter), with Winter 2027 applications opening 15 September 2026. Collège Lionel-Groulx does not publish a dedicated international-admissions page of its own; international applicants would follow SRAM's system-wide window, published as 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, though the college has not confirmed this itself. Admission proceeds round by round on a rolling basis after each equal-consideration date until seats are filled. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
