Cultural Diversity (Certificate)

This certificate introduces students to different cultures and international realities, covering anthropological and thematic perspectives on regions including Quebec, Asia, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, with themes such as sexuality, politics, and religion examined from a global viewpoint. The 30-credit program is designed for completion in approximately one year of full-time study, with up to 15 credits recognized through prior learning. Admission for Quebec-educated applicants requires any Diplome d'etudes collegiales (DEC); applicants from elsewhere in Canada need a secondary school diploma plus one year of university study, while international applicants require 13 years of pre-university education or 12 years plus one year of higher education. Non-francophone applicants must pass the Test de connaissance du francais (TCF) with a minimum score of 361/699 on the mandatory sections and 8/20 on the written expression component. The program is delivered entirely online, with admission offered for the fall, winter, and summer terms.
