Program details
Overview
Science and Social Science (Commerce) is a three-year, six-semester Double DCS pre-university program at Vanier College combining Vanier's Science stream with its Social Science: Commerce profile so students graduate with both a DCS in Science and a DCS in Social Science: Commerce. The program compresses the two curricula by scheduling six courses per semester (five in the final semester) instead of the usual seven or eight, covering physics, chemistry, and biology together with calculus and algebra on the science side, and foundational business theory alongside introductory social science courses and research methods on the commerce side. The dual structure is intended for students who are strong across both the natural sciences and business-oriented social science and do not want to narrow their options early. It suits students aiming at management, private practice, or consultancy roles, as well as those considering university programs in architecture, engineering, dentistry, therapy, medicine, or pharmaceuticals, giving them a broader pre-university base before committing to a specific university faculty.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Science and Social Science (Commerce) applicants need Mathematics TS/SN 506, Physics 504 and Chemistry 504 (or their cégep equivalents), in addition to Vanier's college-wide Quebec secondary-school baseline (DES/DVS with Secondary 5 language courses and Secondary 4 mathematics, science and history). The programme page states no further portfolio, interview or age condition. No IELTS/TOEFL-style English score is required for admission: Vanier's own admissions pages confirm English-language-proficiency testing is no longer an admission requirement (an English placement test follows acceptance), while a CEFR B2 French test (TCF tout public, DELF, DALF or TEF) is required only of out-of-province or international applicants who did not complete their secondary schooling in Quebec.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants to Vanier College apply through the shared SRAM portal (admission.sram.qc.ca) serving Montréal-region cégeps. For Winter 2027, applications opened 15 September 2026, Round 1 closes 1 November 2026 and Round 2 closes 25 November 2026, with unfilled seats carried forward. SRAM has not yet posted Fall 2027 domestic dates. Internationally, SRAM's Fall 2027 window runs 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027; its next window (Winter 2028) runs 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027.

Vanier's own international-applicants page confirms international students use the same SRAM system as domestic ones, bound by the same round deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
