Program details
Overview
Social Science: Family, Child and Youth Studies (300.M0) is a two-year pre-university Diploma of Collegial Studies at Vanier College that combines the standard social science core with a specific focus on child and adolescent development. Students examine how education, family relationships, and social interactions shape the way children and teenagers grow and behave, building on foundational social science coursework in areas such as psychology and sociology. Admission is in the autumn and requires secondary-level Math CST 563 or its equivalent. As with Vanier's other social science profiles, the program keeps a broad set of university pathways open rather than committing students to one discipline immediately. It is described on the program page as particularly geared toward students who already know they want to work with children and youth, whether in education or a related field, while still supporting entry into a wide range of university programs such as anthropology, sociology, psychology, social work, law, or journalism for those whose interests broaden once they are further into their studies.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Family, Child and Youth Studies (300.M0) requires Mathematics CST 563-404/414 (or cégep-equivalent 201-012-RE), on top of Vanier's college-wide Quebec secondary-school baseline (DES/DVS, Secondary 5 language courses, Secondary 4 mathematics, science and history); admission is Autumn only. No portfolio or interview is stated on the programme page. No IELTS/TOEFL-style English score is required for admission: Vanier's admissions pages confirm English-proficiency testing is no longer an admission requirement, while a CEFR B2 French test (TCF, DELF, DALF or TEF) is required only of out-of-province or international applicants who did not complete Quebec secondary schooling.
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.
