Offered by Heritage College in Gatineau, Canada, Diploma in Sciences humaines avec mathématiques supplémentaires is a diploma in Social Sciences & Education programme. The programme runs for 4 semesters. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,150 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
This is the Social Science with Math Profile at Cégep Heritage College, one of two course profiles named on the program's content page alongside a General Profile; both share a common core, but the Math Profile includes a course carrying a Secondary V mathematics prerequisite (Technical and Scientific or Science Options, or equivalent), suited to students who want to keep quantitative university options open. Social Science applies scientific methods to the study of people, societies, cultures and institutions, preparing students to explain human behaviour, social relationships and institutions in terms of function, power and perception. Coursework spans disciplines such as anthropology, philosophy and history, including a course on the history of philosophy and one on historical patterns of inequality and imperialism, alongside an elective outdoor-education option exploring the Gatineau Park. Graduates are described as prepared to pursue further university studies in fields such as administration, anthropology, economics, geography, history, psychology, political science and sociology, as well as related fields including journalism, social work, criminology, commerce, environmental studies, law, education, urban planning and child studies. The Math Profile suits students who anticipate needing calculus-level mathematics for their intended university program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires the Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES), which must include Secondary 4 Science or Physical Science, Secondary 4 Mathematics, Secondary 4 History, Secondary 5 Language of Instruction and Secondary 5 Second Language, as set out in Heritage College's general admission requirements for Quebec applicants. The Social Science with Mathematics profile (Ministry code 300.M1) additionally requires Secondary 5 Mathematics at the Technical-Sciences (TS5) or Science (SN5) level, reflecting the profile's calculus and linear algebra coursework; the profile without mathematics (300.M0) instead requires only Secondary 4 Mathematics (CST4). No separate English or French proficiency test is required of Quebec DES holders, since the language of instruction is already certified through the diploma. Out-of-province and international applicants must instead meet the college's separate published requirements for those categories.
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: the Winter 2027 intake opened 15 September 2026, with a round-1 deadline of 1 November 2026 and a round-2 deadline of 25 November 2026; Fall 2027 round dates had not been posted as of September 2026, though the college's own page shows a recurring pattern of applications opening in mid-January and round 1 closing 1 March. International applicants apply through the same SRAM service: the Fall 2027 window opened 15 March 2026 and closes 14 March 2027, after which no international candidate can be admitted; the equivalent Winter deadline for the current cycle (31 May 2026, for Winter 2027 entry) has already passed. Admission runs in fixed rounds rather than staying open indefinitely, though later rounds absorb remaining seats. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
