- Application Deadline:March 1
- Profile Code:081.PR & 081.OR
- Program Length:1 year
If you would like to:
- Prepare for admission to a pre-university science program or science-related technical program
- Obtain the necessary prerequisites you may have missed in Secondary V
- Gain exposure to foundational mathematics and science concepts
- Explore different options before committing to a program of study
- Get a headstart on college-level General Education courses (English, French, Humanities, Physical Education and Complementaries)
Then Pathways could be for you.
The aim of ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s new Pathways Program is to foster student success by offering training that enables students to begin or complete a program of study leading to a Diploma of College Studies.
Students can apply to one of two Pathway streams:
- Science and Technology Prerequisites (081.PR): a preparatory program designed for students who plan to apply to pre-university science programs or science-related technical programs (Engineering Technologies and Medical Technologies) but who have not yet fulfilled the admission prerequisites of Secondary IV or Secondary V Mathematics, Secondary IV Environmental Science, Physics, and Chemistry to these programs.
- Orientation (081.OR): a preparatory program designed for students who are looking to explore different options before committing to a program of study. Please note that this stream is available only for 2nd choice.
What will you learn?
- Foundational mathematical concepts needed to continue in a CEGEP science program
- High school-level chemistry knowledge necessary to advance to CEGEP-level courses
- Principles of physics that open doors to programs with a physics prerequisite
- General Education credits, freeing you to focus on program-specific courses once admitted to your chosen science-related DEC program
Where will this program lead you?
Following successful completion of the one-year Pathways bridging program, students can apply to a CEGEP science-related program for which they have acquired the prerequisites.
What else should you know?
- Completion of this springboard program does not provide students with a DEC
- Students may apply for a program transfer to a DEC program after only one semester
- Students may only spend a maximum of two semesters in the Pathways Program
What do you need to apply?
- A Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES) or academic background judged equivalent to the DES
- To be eligible for admission, applicants to the Science and Technology Prerequisites stream must be missing at least one prerequisite from a program of the Science, Medical Studies & Engineering sector.
