APPLICATION DEADLINES AND PROCESSFOR THE WINTER (January - May) SEMESTER: NOVEMBER 1 FOR THE AUTUMN (August - December) SEMESTER: MARCH 1

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Québec StudentsAdmission to the College is on the basis of the Quebec Secondary School Diploma (Diplôme d’études secondaires); or the Quebec Diploma of Vocational Education (Diplôme d’études professionelles) with Secondary 5 fi rst and second languages as well as Secondary 4 Mathematics; or equivalent scholarity completed outside the province.

Applicants whose first language or language of instruction is not English, may be required to demonstrate adequate English language profi ciency for performance in the English-language milieu of Vanier College. Our Learning Centre staff administers the English profi ciency tests.

Out-Of-Province ApplicantsIn all cases the minimum requirement for Cegep is the equivalent of Secondary V scholarity. While the equivalent level of scholarity for Ontario students is a minimum of 22 credits, for all other provinces it is the successful completion of grade 11 with a varying number of credits depending on the province, and promotion to grade 12. Note that there is a provincial government tuition fee of $1124 per semester for Canadian non-residents of Québec. These fees are subject to change.

International ApplicantsSRAM does an evaluation of educational scholarity at an additional fee for applicants educated outside of Canada, which in most cases is accurate for purposes of admission to the college.

However, the evaluation from the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles is considered offi cial. Applicants educated outside Canada may contact the following Québec government offi ce for an offi cial evaluation of equivalent scholarity:

Division des Équivalences — Ministère de l’Immigration et communautés culturellesTelephone: 514.864.9191 or email: [email protected]

Note that neither evaluation is concerned with academic performance, or equivalent course content. Relevant transcripts and course descriptions should be submitted with the SRAM application for assessment by Vanier College personnel.

There is a provincial government tuition fee of approximately $5000-$7000 per semester for international students. These fees vary with the Program of study and are subject to change.

It is recommended that international applicants complete the application process by mid-February to enable SRAM to do the evaluation of scholarity. Accepted students will require a Québec Certifi cat d’acceptation and a Canada Study Permit, each of which takes 2 months to process. The Winter semester is open to international applicants only if they already possess these legal status documents.

All applicants applying from outside Canada whose mother tongue and language of instruction is not English must submit recent results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The minimum acceptable score for this test is 80 Internet-based or 213 computer-based or 550 paper-based. If the paper-based test is done, then the Test of Written English (T.W.E.) is also recommended. A minimum score of 4.5 is expected. IELTS (International English Language Testing System) results are also accepted with a band score of 7.0 or better.

International candidates may choose to study English at the Language School and, after reaching the advanced level, write the Vanier College Admissions Test. Contact [email protected] for details.

Advanced StandingApplicants who have attended other Cegeps are required to submit a cumulative transcript. Acquired credits may be recognized between Cegeps and may be used to fulfi ll diploma requirements. Students who have attended any other post-secondary institution, such as a university, may be eligible for equivalences on a course-by-course basis (a minimal fee is applied). In all cases, applicants with advanced standing are evaluated for admission on their overall academic record and the competitiveness of the program(s) to which they are applying.

Alliance Sport-ÉtudesÉlite athlete applicants must apply to both Alliance Sport-Études www.alliancesportetudes.ca and Vanier College through SRAM http://sram.omnivox.ca. Students must meet the Admissions criteria for both Alliance Sport-Études and Vanier College. Please consult the Alliance Sport-Études website for their application process, application deadlines and fees. Applicants must apply to Vanier College through SRAM and meet the deadline of before November 1 for the Winter semester and March 1 for the Autumn semester.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Vanier College admits as many qualifi ed students as possible to the program of their choice. Every program, particularly in the Career (Technology) sector, has a limited number of places. When making admissions decisions for each program, the quality of applicants, the number of applicants and the number of places available, are considered. Acceptances are based primarily on academic performance and English profi ciency. In some cases, other criteria such as an interview, a letter of intent and/or an audition are also used in the evaluation process. If necessary, priority is given to graduating year students from the Québec secondary school system (high school).

Some programs require specifi c prerequisite courses and/or an audition or and interview and evaluation tests in addition to the Québec Secondary School Diploma and Cegep entrance requirements. Please check the Admission Requirements carefully for your program of choice.

Vanier College is affi liated with le Service Régional d’Admission du Montréal (or SRAM) which serves as a clearinghouse for the processing of applications. Applications are submitted through SRAM on-line at http://sram.omnivox.ca. Any requested documentation must be submitted directly to SRAM. The on-line application system is well designed with easy to follow instructions.

All required documents must be forwarded to SRAM by the advertised deadline. SRAM will not process incomplete applications.

There is a non-refundable application fee of $35.00, (payable to SRAM). International applicants pay a non-refundable fee of $80.00, (payable to SRAM).

What is CEGEP?Cegep is an acronym meaning Collège d’enseignement général et professionnel or College of General and Professional Education. CEGEP refers to the two fundamental components of the curriculum: the elements of the general education components common to all programs (English, French, Humanities, Physical Education, complementary courses) and the courses that are specific to each program.

What is special about Cegep?The Cegep system is unique to Québec. It acts as a bridge between high school and either university studies or employ-ment. Cegep is a time and a place where students can mature, learn the study habits necessary for university course work, and choose what to do with their future. Full-time Cegep students can study in a pre-university or a career program. Both lead to a Diplôme d’études collégiales (DEC), a Diploma of Collegial Studies, which is needed to enter a Québec university.

Why choose to attend Cegep?Cegep gives you time to: • grow and discover who you are • decide what you want to do with your life • try things you’ve never done before • make new friends • enjoy the unique social and intellectual

exchanges of college life

Cegep will teach you to learn on your own, while benefiting from the support and guidance of caring teachers. Cegep will also teach you to think critically and creatively and to know how to analyze a situation and make informed decisions and judgments – abilities that will serve you your entire life – personally, spiritually, and professionally.

What is a DEC (Diploma) program?A DEC program is a broad set of learning activities that consist of general education studies and studies in a particular area. All programs are structured according to a pre-arranged grid which is determined by the Ministry of Education. Québec Cegeps offer more than 20 Pre-university Programs, including double DECs; and over 100 Career Programs.

What is the difference between a Pre-university Program and a Career Program?Pre-university is a full-time, two-year, four-semester program leading to a Diploma. It is intended for students who plan to study at university upon graduation from Cegep.

A Career Diploma is a full-time, three-year, six-semester program leading to a Diploma in the field of studies. It is designed to prepare students for jobs in their career field upon graduation from Cegep or, if they so choose, to continue to university studies.

What is a Pre-university program?A four-semester Pre-university Program consists of general studies, complementary courses, and program courses. Students may then complete an undergraduate degree at a Québec university in only 3 years.

What is a Career program?The Career Programs are demanding six-semester courses of study that provide students with essential employability skills and training for immediate entry into the job market. However, career programs also prepare students for university studies and indeed, 50% of our graduates choose to forego immediate employment in favour of university studies.

Aren’t the Career Programs meant for“poor students”?No. No. No! In fact, some Career Programs are more challenging than Pre-university Programs.

Because the term “technology” is sometimes used interchan-geably with the word “career or professional”, many people misunderstand Cegep Career and Technical programs and confuse them with vocational training or trade school, which only takes place at the high school level.

In fact, Cegep Career Programs prepare students for a variety of specialized and lucrative careers. Many of these professions are accredited through national and provincial associations and permit graduates to use the term “technologist”, a term that indicates expertise in technological and technical design.

SPECIALIZED CAREERS

NETWORKING & REAL-LIFE

EXPERIENCES

3

Why should I choose a three-year instead of a two-year program?The extra year is time well-spent because most Career Programs at Vanier involve internships with companies or institutions and a significant period of work in a professional setting. This practical real-life experience and the contacts students make can lead to summer jobs and facilitate finding permanent employment after graduation.

What are the advantages of a Career Program?• Excellent choice if you want to work right after

completing your Cegep studies.• It can provide you with the financial support

of a well-paying job while you attend university. • You acquire the skills you need to enter, stay in and

progress in the world of work. • You learn to communicate professionally, manage information,

use numbers, think and solve problems, and know how to work safely.

• You develop workplace skills and know how to carry out projects and tasks alone or in a group.

Can I attend university if I choose a Career Program?Yes, absolutely! As well, depending on which Career Program you have followed, which university you plan to attend, and what studies you want to pursue, you may receive university credit for some of your Cegep courses, thus reducing the time needed to obtain your Bachelor’s degree. Our Academic Advisors can help you prepare your qualifications should you wish to continue to university. One Québec university, ÉTS – École de technologie supérieure de l’Université du Québec, accepts only Career Program graduates into its Engineering programs.

What if I find my program is wrong for me?Cegep allows you to change programs. If you find that you are in the wrong program and want to change, Vanier advisors are there to help you with your course selection to ensure that diploma requirements are being met and to make the transition as smooth as possible. They can help you determine your

strengths and work out strategies for your new goals, including providing information on university entrance requirements.

At Vanier you are a name, not a number. Your concerns are our concerns and in addition to our Academic Advisors, Vanier counsellors offer personal and career counselling, vocational testing, and workshops on topics ranging from career planning to stress management.

What does Cegep cost?Public Cegeps are tuition-free for full-time students born in Québec or who can prove Québec residency. Students pay activ-ity, student association and registration fees of approximately $160 per semester. Textbooks and supplies must be purchased and can amount to $500 per semester. Depending on the Program, there may be other additional costs such as uniforms, supplies and equipment. Vanier makes arrangements for used textbook sales and customized course packs to reduce costs.

Is financial aid available?Québec has a well articulated system of financial aid to students. Vanier offers entrance scholarships to recent Québec high school graduates based on academic achievement. However, if you are coming from outside the province and require financial assistance, you must apply through your home province’s program of loans and bursaries.

www.vaniercollege.qc.ca/scholarships/

How big are the classes?Depending on the course, class size average is from 35-40 students, but in some cases, may be as small as six. Science labs consist of 20 students who work in pairs at ten work stations. The smaller lab sizes allow teachers to get to know all their students and give them more individualized attention.

How is the academic year divided?There are two 15-week semesters during the academic year — Autumn and Winter — and an examination period for each semester. A Summer School of approximately eight weeks provides students with the opportunity to accelerate their studies or to catch up on a missing course at their own cost.

My Vanier, my choice, my futureI will commit myself to the pursuit of excellence.

I will challenge my abili es, my thinking, and my views.

What kinds of courses make up a program?All pre-university and career programs at the Cegep level consist of General Education courses, and Program courses that give you a solid grounding in your chosen field of study.

What are General Education courses?No matter what program you choose, you are continuing your “general education” – that is, the disciplined development of those insights, skills and values that are important for your personal growth. For this reason, in addition to the specific courses that make up your program of study, all students are required to take General Education courses to complete their Diploma:

• 4 English courses• 3 Humanities courses• 2 French courses• 3 Physical Education courses• 2 complementary courses

Why are General Education courses important?The Québec Ministry of Education, Leisure and Sport (MELS) requires general education studies because these courses aim “to provide students with a common cultural core, to help them learn and develop generic skills … to prepare them for their roles as responsible members of society, and to enable them to share in the common cultural heritage.”

These goals are met in Cegep mainly through courses offered in Humanities, English, French, and Physical Education. These are the courses that form well-rounded graduates that employers and industry are looking for - graduates who know how to communicate, sell, relate, and work as part of a team.

DEC graduates are valued for their flexibility, creativity, articulateness, critical thinking, and for the broad skills they learn in the General Education courses.

Why study English, Humanities, French and Physical Education?Why take complementary courses?

• English and Humanities courses help students develop their basic skills of reading, thinking, writing and speaking, and initiate critical reflection on their lives as well as on society’s intellectual, artistic, moral, social and political values, which leads to a better understanding of the human condition.

• The French language courses allow students to participate in the mainstream of Québec society.

• Physical Education promotes life-long wellness.

• The two Complementary courses chosen from a field of study outside their chosen program enable students to explore different areas of interest and broaden their horizons.

Courses in all these disciplines are sequenced to help students develop the insights and competencies appropriate for graduation from their Cegep program.

My educa on, my academics, my concernsMy English: Is it good enough?

No matter what program a student chooses and no matter where that program leads after Cegep, English is important. Mastering reading, writing and speaking English is the foundation for success in all courses.

Vanier College wants its students to succeed and takes great care in assessing all new students and placing them in English courses that are appropriate to their skill level. In these classes students are at a similar level of English proficiency and come from similar backgrounds. This means that yes, you will feel comfortable in your class.

Developing good communication skills in English is one of the most valuable assets you will acquire. It is all the more important since students must write the Ministry’s English Exit Exam in order to receive the DEC. If you’re having difficulty with English, the English Department and The Learning Centre (TLC) will help you get the tools you need to succeed.

• Peer tutoring• Workshops to improve your:

language skills study strategies writing oral presentations

• Conversation partners with whom to practice your English

• Ample opportunities for enriching your college experience at Vanier

The Vanier Language School offers non-credit courses to individuals who wish to improve their language skills.

• The Academic Writing Skills course is specifically designed to help potential Vanier College students prepare for the English Admissions Test for entry into academic programs.

Anglais sans problème! S’adapter et réussir en anglais au cégepEst-ce diffi cile de s’adapter à l’enseignement en anglais ?Moins qu’on pourrait le penser! Par contre, il est évident que le niveau de compétence en anglais est un facteur déterminant de la capacité d’adaptation d’un élève. Au Cégep Vanier nous avons mis à point Anglais sans problème! - un groupement de services pour soutenir les élèves dans leurs études et combler leurs faiblesses en anglais.

Voici quelques indices précurseurs de succ ès :• L’élève s’exprime couramment en anglais avec son entourage.• L’élève se trouve régulièrement en situation où l’on s’exprime

en anglais par l’intermédiaire de différents médias d’information (presse, radio, télévision, cinéma, etc.) et éprouve peu ou pas de problèmes de compréhension.

• L’élève aime lire en anglais.• L’élève est en anglais enrichi et obtient de bons résultats.• L’élève est nettement au-dessus de la moyenne en anglais régulier.

Les élèves qui ne se retrouvent pas tout à fait dans les exemples ci-hauts ne doivent pas obligatoirement penser qu’ils n’ont aucune chance de s’adapter car, après tout,• les efforts déployés pour réussir et• la volonté de participer activement à la vie étudiante,

peuvent compenser bien des lacunes.

Est-ce que je peux rédiger mes travaux ou faire les examens en français ?Un élève dont la langue maternelle n’est pas l’anglais s’inscrira à un cégep anglophone parce qu’il veut, entre autres, améliorer ses compétences en anglais. Pour cette raison, le Collège exige habituellement que tous les élèves rédigent leurs travaux et leurs examens en anglais.

D’autre part, il ne faut pas oublier que, pour obtenir le diplôme d’études collégiales (DEC), l’élève devra réussir l’Épreuve ministérielle d’anglais.

Y a t-il un programme d’immersion ?Pas vraiment ! Les élèves devront suivre tous leurs cours en anglais dès la première session. Par contre, le premier cours d’anglais régulier des élèves sera déterminé par les résultats qu’ils auront obtenus à l’épreuve obligatoire de classement. Donc, ce cours répondra aux besoins décelés lors de la correction de l’épreuve. Certains candidats, dont le niveau de compétence s’avérera insuffisant, devront suivre un cours préparatoire intensif non-crédité, d’une durée de trois semaines, pendant la session d’été.

L’école de langues – Vanier Language SchoolPar contre, ceux et celles qui veulent suivre un programme d’immersion en anglais peuvent s’inscrire à l’école de langues du Cégep Vanier. Ce pro-gramme non-crédité est à temps plein. L’école de langues offre aussi le cours Reading and Writing Skills à temps partiel pour ceux et celles qui veulent se préparer pour le test d’admission en anglais (English Admission Test), et Rédaction pour adolescents (Academic Writing for Teens) pour les élèves en 4e et 5e secondaire qui souhaitent améliorer leurs compé-tences en anglais écrit. Pour plus d’information sur ces cours, et les autres cours offerts par l’école de langues, veuillez visiter: www.vaniercollege.qc.ca/languageschool

Quels services offre-t-on aux francophones ?The Learning Centre (le Centre d’aide à l’apprentissage) s’est donné pour mission de favoriser l’apprentissage général en améliorant les compétences linguistiques des élèves non-anglophones et en offrant divers services et activités tel que : des ateliers d’écriture, de lecture et de méthodologie du travail, des trucs utiles pouvant servir à faire de meilleures présentations orales ou à prendre de meilleures notes de cours, des concours de rédaction, etc. Par ces activités, l’élève développe une plus grande confiance en ses capacités.

Le Centre ouvre donc ses portes de 8h30 à 16h30, du lundi au vendredi, afin de permettre aux élèves d’avoir accès aux services de ses profes-sionnels et de ses employés et élèves tuteurs, aux salles d’étude et à la bibliothèque. Les élèves sont libres d’y circuler à leur guise soit pour profiter de l’aide disponible, soit pour participer aux divers concours et activités, ou tout simplement pour trouver un coin tranquille propice à l’étude. Plus les élèves participent, plus leurs compétences linguis-tiques s’améliorent.

Quelques conseils pour améliorer vos compétences en anglaisÀ partir du moment où vous aurez pris la décision de poursuivre vos études dans un cégep anglophone, lire les journaux anglais et voir des films ou des émissions en anglais sera avantageux : votre vocabulaire s’enrichira et votre niveau de compréhension ne fera que s’améliorer.Lorsque vous serez élève au Cégep Vanier, vous aurez un cours d’anglais à chaque session. Vous aurez aussi accès au Centre d’aide à l’appren-tissage et la possibilité de participer à la vie étudiante. Il n’en tiendra qu’à vous de profiter au maximum de tous les services et de toutes les occasions qui se présenteront pour améliorer vos compétences en anglais.

Anglais sans problème! Making the transition to studying in English at Vanier can be worrying for students who have never done so. To give students an idea of what to expect if they choose to do their Cegep studies in English in order to improve their language skills, The Learning Centre has produced two videos with students who describe their own experiences of studying for the first time in English. The students describe the concerns and difficulties they faced, as well as the services and support that helped them meet the challenge of studying in English.

SEE: www.vaniercollege.qc.ca/languageschool/anglais-sans-probleme-videos.html

Special help comes from the Math and Science Centre which has addressed the particular concern of Science students by producing an English lexicon which translates science words and terms into English.

At Vanier I will seize opportuni es Vanier offers many outstanding and unique programs, so no matter what you have chosen to study, you are bound to meet interesting people in all your classes. Vanier deliberately mixes the students in the general courses so that people from different programs have the chance to meet. The opportunities from these chance meetings are as rich as you choose to make them.

At Vanier, students from all backgrounds and interests come together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere to explore their potential. Being part of this rich and diversified community is an opportunity in itself.

Alliance Sport-Études

The Alliance Sport-Études program is designed to help elite student-athletes achieve their educational and athletic goals. Alliance Sport-Études students are able to maintain their high level of training and competition because they are allowed to attend Cegep on a reduced workload. Vanier is the only English language Cegep currently offering this program which is available in 22 Cegeps across the province. Students must be carded athletes or affiliated with one of the official Québec sports federations or ABC (Baseball) Canada or the Québec Junior Hockey League (LHJMQ).

An annual scholarship of $500 is awarded to the student at each Cegep who best exemplifies the Alliance Sport-Études goals: excellence in academics and sports. This award is spon-sored by the provincial Alliance Sport-Études network and Radio Canada. The recipient is chosen by Vanier College. In addition, there are 5 provincial awards of $500-$2000 awarded across the network. Training and development bursaries of $500 to $1200, sponsored by Réseau des Sports (RDS), are also available for students who attend special training camps and competition away from Montreal.

Student Development and Orientation Centre

One important area in the College that you will visit often is the Student Development and Orientation Centre (Student Services). Students know the staff members there are problem-solvers. Student Services makes every effort to ease your transition from high school to college. The Centre offers a host of services such as a housing registry, help in planning events on campus, leadership training, volunteer opportunities, peer-tutoring, financial aid information, the Vanier This Week bulletin, the Student Agenda, lockers, bus passes, access to College facilities, and special events as well as a full range of Orientation and Welcome Week activities.

I will make new friends.

Getting Involved

The Student Services team works closely with the Vanier College Students’ Association (VCSA), and can help you get started in organizing a student club. In the two or three years that you will be at Vanier, you will be spending plenty of time going to class, studying, and getting a great academic experience. You will also have many hours that won’t be “book time” and getting involved in student life outside the classroom is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

The VCSA is funded by your student fees ($25 per semester) and in addition to directing student clubs it organizes trips, special events around the college, movies and guest speakers. The VCSA welcomes your support and needs your participation. If you’re a full-time day-division student at Vanier, you are a full member of the VCSA and you can run for a representative or executive position on Council.

http:// www.vcsa.ca

Universal Break

Vanier College has a very popular Universal Break ever Wednesday mid-day when no classes are scheduled anywhere on campus. You will appreciate U.B. because it’s an opportunity to relax, to meet and socialize with friends both on and off-campus, to attend the free Wednesday concert series put on by talented Music students, to see a free VCSA movie, to participate in or check out activities, presentations, or clubs, to sample all those yummy food fairs and bake sales; and it’s a chance for students working on class projects to meet and work together as a group. University recruiters and employers visit regularly during U.B. and provide information to help you plan your future.

Student life at Vanier “I felt I could fit in here.”Vanier College has a unique mix of students from a variety of racial and cultural communities who come together for friend-ship, studies and fun. Students view Vanier as their home away from home where the Student Mall is a place to relax and get together with friends, especially during Vanier’s Universal Break. No matter who you are, “You can be yourself at Vanier.” Indeed the mix of cultures, races, backgrounds and languages lets everybody feel they will find a place to fit in.

“Whatever your interest — recrea onal, athle c, social, cultural, or poli cal — there is a student club on campus to meet your needs.”

Vanier and the WorldThrough the International Education Office students may become involved in world issues. For example, special CIDA-funded projects such as Vanier Aids Action in Africa and Education for All have offered students the chance to go to Malawi and discover what they can do to alleviate the AIDS pandemic or the lack of universal access to education in Africa.

Elsewhere, certain programs such as Business Administration and MicroMedia combine studies and travel through the France-Vanier exchange. Other travel opportunities come from various departments such Modern Languages, Liberal Arts, Slavic Studies, Honours Science, and visits outside of Canada organized by the Architectural Technology Program.

I will explore new interests and talents.Learning is fun when it moves outside the classroom. At Vanier every program offers you unique and exciting ways to participate in projects, fairs, competitions, student exchanges and trips and expand your horizons in surprising new ways. Rich opportunities abound right on campus. Every year Vanier organizes events, talks, conferences and competitions that make student life and learning exciting. The list is long, but for example, you could be part of events such as:

• The Vanier College BDC Case Competition that welcomes more than 25 teams from across Canada to compete in the most prestigious college-level Marketing competition in the country.

• The Social Science Festival• Black History Month• International Women’s Week• Science Week• The Holocaust and Genocide Symposium• The Cheetah’s Den Business Pitch• Robotics Competition• Bridge Building Competition• Science on tourne!• Nursing Conference• Concerts throughout the year• Visitors, guest lecturers

COMMERCE MAJOR IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

The Commerce Major in International Business offers the same courses as the Commerce profile but the focus of each course is international. This profile is ideal for students interested in the effects of globalization and the role of business in globalization.

In this major, teaching methods are research-based. Hence teachers empha-size research into topics raised in Commerce classes. Current affairs are central, and teachers strongly encourage teamwork. Students learn about other cultures and the effect of culture on business leaders and business decisions. Students develop strong bonds because they are grouped together and they share a common orientation towards Social Science.

After successful completion of this profile, students receive a Vanier College Certificate, as well as the Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC).

What can I do a er I graduate with a DEC in the Commerce Major in Interna onal Business?

HONOURS SCIENCEThis challenging program is for highly talented and motivated students with a keen interest in science. Honours Science students take all their first year mathematics and science courses as a group. During their second year they continue to take some science courses as a group, while also following their interests by selecting three science option courses. Content in Honours Science sections is integrated between subjects, and the course material is enriched using the time saved through the decreased need for review. A strong group dynamic built through participation in extra-curricular educational and social activities facilitates the making of friends and the formation of study groups, and consequently aids academic success.

Students interested in Honours Science should apply to Vanier’s Health Science 200.B0 or Pure and Applied Science 200.B0 programs. Applicants to either of these programs who have at least 80% in each of their Secondary V mathematics and science courses, as well as having a mathematics and science average of at least 85% will be invited to apply to Honours Science.

SOCIAL SCIENCEThe discipline of Social Science involves the study and research of human behavior. The resulting data is evaluated in an effort to understand that behavior. Students acquire an understanding of society, research skills, verbal and written communication skills, computer skills as well as group work experience. All of this provides a solid background for future endeavors at the university level.

Social Science is the largest program at Vanier College. The size of the program means that we are able to offer a broad range of programs, majors and courses that address many areas of interest within the general discipline of Social Science. These areas include psychology, commerce, environment issues, law and international development. It is also a very active program organizing and sponsoring important events like the annual Social Science Festival as well as guest lecturers and speakers throughout the year. Students also have the possibility of trips and exchanges.

HONOURS SOCIAL SCIENCE AND COMMERCEGraduates of this program demonstrate exceedingly high academic standards that will stand them in good stead for any university application, and particularly for applications to university honours programs. Successful honours graduates will have their academic accomplishments recognized. This honours program is not open to new students. Applications must be made by the last day of the first Autumn semester. Acceptance is based on the first semester record of achievement in a full load of courses.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY

SOCIAL SCIENCE MAJORSThese Majors are part of the Social Science program. They draw upon our extensive course listings from various disciplines and are grouped thematically to appeal to specific interests.

Majors students take part in special activities and lectures, and are grouped in Social Science courses throughout their career at Vanier. Students get to work on topics they’re interested in. Students in a Social Science Major are part of a smaller group and this makes it easier to make friends. When students stay together and are focused they also tend to do better in their studies.

A series of outings, visits, lectures and social gatherings foster a sense of belonging, of friendship and exchange. It creates an atmosphere of human proportions.

PREREQUISITESPROFILE

This profi le is for students who wish to pursue a DEC in the Science or Careers and Technical programs, but who have never taken the required prerequisite courses. This profi le is not to improve grades in prerequisite courses. It is for students who lack the necessary prerequisite courses. Students must demonstrate a strong academic aptitude and good results in previous Math and Science courses in order to qualify for this profile.

Students may take a full load of seven courses. Credits earned for English, Humanities, French and Physical Education courses can be applied to all DEC programs.

“I found Explorations very useful because I passed all the Math and Science courses needed to get into the program I wanted.”– Michelle

“ Explorations helped me know what is expected of me. It gave me a chance to transit from the work force back into student life. It is difficult to come back to school and cope with the full workload. Explorations helped me to ease my way back.”– Diane

“I am studying Nursing at Vanier. Explora ons was very good for me. I learned basic computer skills, essay wri ng, and how to do class presenta ons. On the fi rst day of star ng the Nursing program, all the new students were struggling with many things, and I was totally relaxed because I was coming through Explora ons.”– Pratapbhai

“I was in Explorations for two semesters. It helped me realize what I really wanted to do and helped me get the extra courses I needed. I think everyone can benefit from these programs.”– Eleftheria

CAREER PROGRAMS

Students sometimes wonder if studying in a trade school at the high school level would not be better than going to Cegep for three years. But Cegep Career Programs and trade schools are very different. The prospects for advancement and career choices for trade school graduates are limited, whereas, Career Program graduates are not only on the fast track for salary raises and advancement through a company, but are prepared for university if they choose to pursue their studies further.

Because of the General Education courses of Cegep studies, Career Program graduates are able to communicate professionally, manage information, write up reports, use numbers, think and solve problems, and they know how to work on teams to carry out projects and tasks. Not only are they prepared for careers as technologists and profes-sionals, but also for sales, management, and administration.

Graduates can expect to start at salaries well above the minimum. Starting wages are normally in the $18 to $30 per hour range depending on the profession. Technologists are, of course on a career path and can expect graduated increases in salary as they acquire experience, as well as the possibility of the benefits of full-time employment such as paid vacations, training and professional development, commissions, company medical plans and pension plans.

Graduates from the Career Programs are highly sought-after by compa-nies. There are jobs out there that need to be filled and companies are having difficulty finding qualified personnel. To get an overview of the prospects of various programs of study and the career outlook for graduates from the Career Programs take a look at Le Palmarès des carrières 2010, published by Septembre éditeur. It’s a survey of

the 150 best jobs in Québec, the programs of study they require, starting salaries and time spent looking for that first job. In the 2010 survey, twelve of Vanier’s Career Programs led to nominated jobs (Palmarès Nominee 2010), and eight of those led to winning jobs (Palmarès Lauréat – Winner 2010).

As an example of the need for graduates from the Career Programs, take a look at The Gazette, Working Section, on Saturday, June 14, 2008, which surveys jobs available in Computer Science Technology. Another area with too few graduates, is Nursing. According to the Québec Order of Nurses, the province will face a shortage of 7,300 nurses in few years and 23,000 nurses in 15 years!

Students interested in advanced studies at the university level, instead of immediate employment upon graduation, should contact Vanier’s Academic Advising staff during their first semester to be sure they acquire the appropriate prerequisite courses for the university program that interest them. Advisors also know about university programs that offer equivalencies, advanced standing and credits for some Career Program courses, which might reduce the time needed to obtain a Bachelor’s degree. At Vanier, 50% of Career Program graduates continue on to university after Cegep.

Career Programs are normally six semesters or three years in length. There are some exceptions: the Extended Nursing Program can be completed in eight semesters or four years; and some programs off er a fast track, usually for students who have already completed a DEC or an AEC. Career Programs provide graduates with workplace skills and fundamental knowledge to permit them to practice their profession upon graduation.

SALARIES FOR CAREER PROGRAM GRADUATESGraduates of Career Programs find employment in their field through contract, part-time work or permanent positions. Graduates can expect to start at salaries above minimum wage, with benefits and training fitting professional positions. Usually it takes two years to learn the “soft skills” needed in a profession. After the preliminary period, depending on the profession, the union or collective agreement situation, and the opportunities, graduates can expect their salaries to increase, sometimes significantly. Check out the Job Futures Québec site for 2008-2012 scenario concerning salaries and job market expectations.

PROGRAM GRID: Plan of courses by semester. This is unique for every program and profile option.

STANDING AND ADVANCEMENT STANDARDS:Criteria applied each semester to determine if a student maintains eligibility to continue as a full time student in college, and/or to continue in the same program. Also refers to standards to be achieved before a student can enroll in the next semester of a program. These are unique for many programs.

IMMUNIZATION RECORDS:Registered students in Animal Health, Environmental and Wildlife Management, Nursing, Early Childhood Education, Special Care Counselling, and Respiratory and Anaesthesia Technology will require up-to-date immunization due to the nature of your training and internships with animals and/or humans. Your Program Coordinator will inform you of the requirements once you have registered.

In this dynamic program, the teaching of theory is accompanied by hands-on experience such as reading X-Rays, and using animal skeletons to locate appropriate puncture sites and demonstrate correct techniques, learn minor surgery proce-dures and understand animal biology, physiology and anatomy. There are mandatory clinical and research fieldwork/internship placements as part of the program.

By the time they graduate, Vanier Animal Health Technicians are team players who are flexible, mature, motivated and highly competent. This program is accredited by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC).

Animal Health Technicians (Technologists) have been recently recognized by the authorities to perform specific procedures that were historically exclusively the domain of veterinarians. Only persons having a recognized AHT degree are allowed to perform these new tasks.

Successful students are:• enthusiastic about working with animals and people• demonstrate physical dexterity• comfortable in a very hands-on environment

It is suggested that people with animal allergies consider this condition in choosing this area of study.

The field of animal health care needs qualified, dedicated professionals who enjoy working with both animals and people. Providing quality health care for animals is complex. In addition to mastering technology and procedures, animal health technicians must be adept in the management and care of animals, laboratory facilities and be able to take on an administrative role in the office. The ability to communicate and interact with clients is vital.

What can I do after I graduate with a DEC in Animal Health Technology?

Graduates typically find employment in: • private veterinary clinics • veterinary diagnostic laboratories • research facilities • pharmaceutical companies • government, hospital and university laboratories • animal shelters • pet shops • public hygiene departments • animal control facilities

Job Futures Québec reports “good” employment prospects: “Given the growing demand for animal research activities and veterinary services for pets, it is expected that the number of veterinary and animal health technologists and technicians will increase sharply over the next few years.” Emploi Québec states that in all of Québec, this occupation is among those currently most in demand.

Yes, it is possible to continue on to university studies from this program.

Graduates applying to university should consult with an Academic Advisor to know the prerequisites of the program they wish to apply to. Several of the veterinarians teaching this program graduated from Animal Health at Vanier then subsequently pursued university studies in veterinary medicine.

This profession is a dynamic field where successful graduates combine hands-on technical knowledge of buildings and construction techniques with an aesthetic awareness of architectural design.

Job placement for our graduates is exceptional. New buildings are always being constructed and existing structures are constantly being renovated. This creates a need for archi-tectural technologists to work with contractors, engineers, designers, architects and other industry professionals. Possessing technical skills, knowing how buildings fit together and how the construction industry operates are key elements in this industry.

Students profit from small classes, peer tutoring, state-of-the-art equipment and individual teacher attention. Our teachers are practicing architects and engineers who bring that expertise to the classroom. Upon completion of the program graduates understand the science and materials of construction and know how to combine them with the techniques of design and architecture.

All students in this program participate in a two-week or longer internship where they work in the offices of architects, contrac-tors, construction firms or other related companies to get a realistic view of the profession. These internships often lead directly to job offers.

As part of their studies, students take field trips to architec-turally interesting locations in and around Montreal such as innovative buildings, green buildings, construction sites, architectural landmarks, and historical Old Montreal. Past trips outside the country have included trips to Chicago, New Mexico, and New Orleans. Prominent guest speakers keep the program connected to contemporary trends in building design and techniques.

Successful graduates in this program thrive on the challenge of design and construction.

What can I do after I graduate with a DEC in Architectural Technology?

Architectural technologists find employment as contractors, project managers, interior designers, building inspectors, building materials sales representatives, specification writers, and related jobs in architects’ offices, institutions, corporations or governmental departments involved in the planning and construction of buildings. Many are self-employed and own their own construction or design companies.

Graduates of this program are qualified to become members of L’ordre des technologues professionnels du Québec (OTPQ) that gives them professional recognition and certain advantages.

According to Job Futures Quebec, “Given the anticipated growth in construction and the demand for architectural services, the number of architectural technologists should increase significantly in the next few years. It should be noted, however, that a very large percentage of these graduates, i.e., from 30% to 40%, do not enter the labour market, but prefer to pursue a university education in all types of disciplines, including architecture and civil engineering.”

You will learn excellent communication and analytic skills. You will learn to work as part of a team. You will develop the ability to effectively deal with stress. You will become adept in handling all types of ventilating and respiratory equipment.

There are far too many Canadians suffering from breathing problems associated with lung problems, heart attacks, accidents, premature births, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer or AIDS. For these people, the act of simply drawing a breath cannot be taken for granted. For them, breathing is an accomplishment, and care by a Respiratory and Anaesthesia therapist is essential.

The college collaborates with local hospitals offering Extern-ship programs, potentially providing summer employment for Respiratory and Anaesthesia therapists in training.

Respiratory and Anaesthesia therapists evaluate, treat, and care for pa ents of all ages who are suff ering from breathing disorders. If you want to make a positive contribution to society and are looking for a challenging, rewarding and exciting profession in health care, consider this program.

What can I do after I graduate with a DEC in Respiratory and Anaesthesia Technology?

Most respiratory and anesthesia therapists work in hospitals but an increasing number of therapists are now working in skilled nursing facilities, physicians’ offices, home health agencies, and specialized and private care hospitals. Many also work in the air ambulance service which offers international opportunities for travel and work. According to the Ordre des inhalothérapeutes du Québec about half of graduates work as general respiratory therapists, one third work as anesthesia therapists and the remainder are in the growing field of home care.

The career path also leads to sales of medical equipment, management and college instructors. DEC graduates enjoy one of the best labour market situations of all career program graduates. The number of graduates is insufficient to meet the demand and will remain so for some time to come.

Job prospects in this occupation are good. This is due mostly to a sharp increase in the number of workers in these professions, which can be attributed to a rise in respiratory diseases, especially among seniors, as well as the development of out-patient care. The aging population, coupled with government health priorities, should cause employment prospects in this occupation to remain good in the coming years.
