Program details
Overview
Sciences humaines, profil Gestion des affaires is a pre-university DEC at Cégep de Shawinigan combining humanities coursework with an introduction to business, aimed at students weighing university studies in administration or a related field. The curriculum includes seven courses taught by the college's business faculty, covering introductory management, accounting, finance, business law, and human-resources management, alongside humanities courses connected to administration. Students complete several projects intended to expose them to the range of career paths available in business before they commit to a university program. Structural features noted on the page include a room reserved for the profile, conferences and meetings with professionals from the business community, and practical exercises such as résumé writing and mock job interviews. The page lists numerous possible university destinations linked to the profile, including accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, human-resources management, marketing, and logistics, as well as related fields such as economics and law. The program suits students who are drawn to business, finance, and organizational work, enjoy planning and leading initiatives, and want a general grounding in both administration and the social sciences before choosing a specific university program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission is based on the Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES), completed with Langue d'enseignement de 5e secondaire, Langue seconde de 5e secondaire, Mathématiques de 4e secondaire, Sciences de 4e secondaire (ST, ATS or equivalent) and Histoire et éducation à la citoyenneté de 4e secondaire; a Diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) covering the same secondary-5 language courses and secondary-4 mathematics is also accepted, as is training the Cégep judges equivalent. In addition this profile requires Mathématiques TS ou SN de 5e secondaire (ou Mathématiques 526 ou l'équivalent), a higher-level mathematics prerequisite than the Cégep's general Sciences humaines profile. The secondary-5 French-language-of-instruction and second-language courses embedded in the DES stand in for a separate language requirement on this domestic programme page, which publishes no French or English proficiency test score. The programme has previously been open for second-round admission.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic (Quebec/Canadian) applicants apply through SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca): for the Hiver (Winter) 2027 session the portal opened September 15, 2026, with Round 1 closing November 1, 2026 and Round 2 closing November 25, 2026; for Automne (Fall) 2027 entry, SRAM's fixed system-wide Round 1 cutoff is March 1, 2027, though the college has not yet posted 2027-specific Round 2/3 dates (Automne 2026 saw April 23 and May 28, 2026 for those rounds). International applicants face fixed, non-rolling SRAM deadlines instead of rounds: March 14 for Automne entry and May 31 for Hiver entry, with no exceptions once the date passes. Admission is therefore round-based for domestic candidates and firm for international ones. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
