CEGEP Science Programs Guide
Choose the program before choosing the college.
Compare the current Science program with the university field you have in mind. Check the exact course grid, mathematics and science prerequisites, language of instruction and admission process with each college.
Start with the university goal
Write down the intended university programs and check their required college courses. A program label alone does not confirm every prerequisite.
Compare the actual course grid
Look at mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, laboratories, general education and any optional concentration. Compare the published grid for the year of entry, not an older brochure.
Audit the secondary school record
Use the student’s transcript to ask admissions which mathematics and science courses satisfy the chosen program. Ask how missing prerequisites can be completed and whether they must be finished before admission.
Plan a sustainable transition
Practise scientific reading, explaining a solution, laboratory note-taking and weekly review. Discuss which support is appropriate before selecting tutoring.
