UQAM, Cégep de Sept-Îles establish DEC-BAC agreement in literary studies

The Université du Québec à Montréal and Cégep de Sept-Îles have established a pathway program that will facilitate the transition from a diplome d’etudes collegiales (DEC) to a baccalaureate (BAC) degree for literary studies students. Through this agreement, students who complete a DEC in languages, literature, and communication at Cégep de Sept-Îles can accelerate their studies by having up to three courses recognized towards a bachelor’s degree in literary studies at UQAM. These students will also be exempt from admission and application fees in recognition of their prior learning. UQAM professor Gabrielle Tremblay stated that the agreement aims to make higher education more accessible.
