Program details
Overview
This double-DEC program combines Sciences de la nature with the Musique program's Classique profile, allowing students to pursue a full pre-university science curriculum alongside classical-music training at Collège Lionel-Groulx. According to the program page, this format keeps a wide range of university programs open — sciences, health sciences, humanities, music, and teaching among them — while students continue solid training in classical music. The page directs students to the separate Sciences de la nature and Musique - profil Classique program pages for full curriculum detail rather than describing a distinct third curriculum. Admission requires the general college admission conditions plus Secondary 5 prerequisites in Mathematics (TS, SN, or 536), Chemistry (534) and Physics (534), together with passing a music audition; both the audition and the student's academic record are used as selection criteria. Applicants must submit an audition form by the stated deadline in addition to the standard SRAM application. There is no admission quota. Graduates gain access to the same broad range of university programs as Sciences de la nature students — including actuarial science, architecture, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, and pre-health programs — while having completed additional structured training in classical music performance. It suits students with strong academic motivation, organizational skills and independence who want to keep both a science career path and serious music study open simultaneously.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Beyond the college's general admission conditions (a DES, or a DEP plus Secondary 5 language of instruction, Secondary 5 second language and Secondary 4 mathematics, or equivalent training/experience, plus adequate French with the Bright test at 3.7 minimum for anyone without a francophone-sector DES), this Double DEC requires Mathematics TS or SN Secondary 5 (or code 536), Chemistry Secondary 5 (or 534) and Physics Secondary 5 (or 534). Admission is decided jointly by audition and academic record: "l'audition et le dossier scolaire sont les criteres de selection pour l'admission." Candidates must submit an audition request before the published deadline and sit written examinations in solfege, dictation and theory plus an instrumental audition; a $38 non-refundable fee applies. Students from certain music-focused high-school cohorts may be exempt from the audition under a pilot pathway. For the 2026 intake, audition requests are due 15 February with the SRAM application due 1 March (first round), with two further rounds in April and May.
Application Details
Start Date:September
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.
