Marianopolis College offers Diploma in Social Science, Human Behaviour, a diploma in Psychology programme in Westmount, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 17,244 per year (CAD 8,160 per year for local students).
This pre-university Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) at Marianopolis College is a Social Science profile focused on human behaviour, examining social relationships, individual behaviour, and the mind through combined psychological and sociological coursework over two years. In the first year, students take foundation courses in psychology, sociology, history, and economics alongside English, French, and humanities requirements. In the second year, they take more advanced courses in quantitative analysis and the biology of human behaviour, and can select statistics and further psychology electives specifically recommended for students planning to study psychology at university. This emphasis on psychology and sociology distinguishes the profile from the college's other Social Science options, such as Commerce or Core Social Science. Students may apply after their first semester for an Honours Distinction track involving enriched course sections. The program suits students interested in understanding why people think and act as they do. Graduates typically continue into university programs in psychology, social work, sociology, criminology, education, and human resources.

Students without a Certificate of Eligibility for English-language education take French Literature courses within the program, while certificate holders take French Second Language courses.

Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Marianopolis through its own Omnivox portal rather than SRAM. As published on the college's site, the Fall 2026 intake's online application was open with a deadline of 1 March 2026, and late applications are reviewed only after on-time files, and only if space remains; the site had not yet posted Fall 2027 dates as of 14 September 2026. International (temporary-resident) applicants were urged to apply by 15 February 2026 because of immigration-document processing times, with no international application accepted after 1 March 2026. Admission is not rolling: both streams run to a firm deadline, with limited late acceptance once on-time files are cleared. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
