Take the Lead in Your Studies
While there are no formal profiles in the Double DEC program, you can personalize your upper-level course selections to align with your university and career goals. Within the Languages option, you’ll have the opportunity to study in English, French and Spanish. Your specific course sequence is determined by whether you hold a Certificate and your prior knowledge of Spanish.
If you are eligible to attend English school under the Charter of the French language and are in possession of a certificate granted by the Ministry of Education, you are considered a Certificate Holder. Your course sequence will then be determined by your results in the high school French course (1-2 or 3-4). For more information about Certificates, please consult the Ministry of Education’s website. If you are not eligible, you must follow the course sequence for Non Certificate Holders that prepares students for l’Épreuve uniforme de français (EUF – French ministerial language evaluation).
This sequence takes you through college-level courses I, II and III in Spanish.
This sequence takes you through college-level courses II, III and IV in Spanish.

Your Path to Graduation
All college programs in Québec have a graduate profile that outlines the competencies students are expected to develop to graduate from the program. To assess whether these expectations are met, students complete a comprehensive assessment (CA). In some programs, this assessment is integrated into a course featuring an integrative activity (IA) that builds on knowledge gained in previous courses.
For this Double DEC, you will complete the CA and IA requirements for both the Science and ALC programs during your sixth semester.
Science Graduate Profile
St. Lawrence Science Program graduates must be able to:
- Apply the scientific method
- Take a systematic approach to problem solving
- Use the appropriate information technologies
- Reason logically
- Communicate effectively
- Learn in an autonomous manner
- Work as members of a team
- Make connections between science, technology and social progress
- Identify their system of values
- Become familiar with the context in which scientific concepts are discovered and developed
- Develop attitudes appropriate for scientific work
- Apply what they have learned to new situations.
These goals are not assigned to specific disciplines. All the courses in the program contribute to the development and evaluation of one or more these skills.
ALC Graduate Profile
Graduates of the St. Lawrence Arts, Literature and Communication Program shall be knowledgeable about the arts, grounded in literature and equipped to communicate in four languages. Graduates shall be able to:
- Approach questions of literary and aesthetic culture with the help of an understanding of Western classics and of English Canadian and Québec cultural contributions;
- Demonstrate intellectual curiosity and rigor in planning and conducting research activities, such as identifying appropriate sources and techniques, reading critically and presenting the results of critical reflection in oral and written form;
- Give expression to the creative process;
- Function with native-level proficiency in English, a high level of proficiency in French and a degree of independence in Spanish and German, supported by an understanding of grammatical structure and phonetics;
- Use appropriate information technology;
- Assess decisions with consideration for one’s own health and well being and for the effect on others and the environment.
Science Comprehensive Assessment
What will be assessed?
The comprehensive assessment will be completed in the CA/IA option course that you take in your last semester of study. See the CA/IA course descriptions in either of the profiles of the Science Program.
The comprehensive assessment is based on a CA portfolio you produce during the CA/IA course. The portfolio must demonstrate that you have attained the 12 program goals of the graduate profile. It may contain work (tests, assignments, papers and such) completed during any of the courses that you have taken to fulfill the requirements of the Science Program and documents produced for the exercise on ethical issues, as well as the written report for the integrative activity. Alternatively, the portfolio may be made up of a self-reflective essay that evaluates how you have attained the goals and objectives of the Science Program, citing specific examples of what was done to achieve these goals.
The table below shows how the elements of the graduate profile are tied to the CA/IA course objectives or competencies defined by the government.
| Graduate Profile | Integration Objective (00UU)
To apply acquired knowledge to the study of one or more subjects in the sciences |
Science Option Objective (00UV)

How will it be assessed?
The CA portfolio will be prepared individually by you and handed in for evaluation. The teacher of the CA/IA course will ascertain with a pass/fail grade the attainment of the program skills using the criteria listed in the graduate profile.
ALC Comprehensive Assessment
A Comprehensive Assessment (C.A.) demonstrating overall attainment of program competencies and the General Education Graduate Profile is required by the College Education Regulations under the General and Vocational Colleges Act and by the College’s Institutional Policy on the Evaluation of Student Achievement (IPESA).
The Comprehensive Assessment for the ALC Program is linked to three courses that involve analytical and creative work in the various languages of the program: Pop Fiction, Projet créatif, and Exploring Cultural Diversity. The Comprehensive Assessment consists of specific oral-based assessments and evaluations along with an essay and a reflection piece in these courses.
Where Might Your Double DEC Lead You?
A Double DEC prepares you for university programs in both disciplines.
The DEC in Science opens the door to numerous programs in physical sciences and mathematics. It provides a pathway to health-related fields including audiology, dentistry, kinesiology, medicine, microbiology, nursing, nutrition, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and veterinary medicine. Additionally, it supports further studies in pure and applied sciences such as actuarial sciences, architecture, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, geomatics, mathematics, and physics.
The DEC in Arts, Literature and Communication also prepares students for university programs in diverse fields that can lead to further studies in fields such as classical and ancient studies, communication studies, creative writing, English studies, French studies, German studies, Hispanic studies, international relations, journalism and broadcast media, linguistics and languages, literature, professional writing, public relations, teaching at the elementary or secondary levels, teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and translation.
