Diploma in Sciences de la nature et Arts visuels is a diploma in Visual Arts programme taught at Collège Montmorency in Laval, Canada. The programme runs for 3 years. Teaching is in French. Tuition is CAD 3,740 per year for local students.
This Double DEC pairs the pre-university Sciences de la nature program with the pre-university Arts visuels program at Collège Montmorency, allowing students to complete both diplomas in three years of combined study. The science component covers mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, the standard route into university science, health and engineering programs. The visual-arts component combines studio work in drawing, painting, sculpture and digital media with art history and theory, preparing students for university or specialized visual-arts and design programs. Because the program merges two full pre-university curricula rather than following one after another, it runs a year longer than a single DEC and carries a heavier course load, with admission requiring that students meet the entrance requirements of both individual programs. Graduates are awarded two separate Diplômes d'études collégiales. The pairing suits students who want to pursue rigorous scientific training together with a genuine visual-arts practice, rather than having to choose between the two before university.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Prerequisites for this Sciences de la nature / Arts visuels double DEC (Collège Montmorency's own program page): a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES); Mathematics TS or SN 5th secondary (or Mathematics 536); Physics 5th secondary; and Chemistry 5th secondary. The program is not formally capacity-restricted, but admission is usually limited to SRAM's 1st round because of laboratory equipment and space constraints. Applicants without Canadian status apply to this program through SRAM as international candidates; Collège Montmorency's own admission pages set a minimum B2 level in both written and spoken French for international applicants, met through Bright (minimum 3.7 in every section) or DELF/DALF (an overall score of at least 67 with a minimum of 16.75 in each of the four components).

Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM): for Fall 2027 entry the deadline is 1 March 2027, with the online system opening mid-January 2027 and further rounds running into May while places remain; Winter 2027 entry is already open, with a deadline of 1 November 2026 (not all programmes admit for Winter). International applicants follow a separate SRAM timeline: applications for Fall 2027 opened 15 March 2026 and close 14 March 2027, while Winter 2028 applications open 1 June 2026 and close 31 May 2027.
