About the Program

Understand and practise the skills you will need to be successful in business in LaSalle College Montréal's Entrepreneurship and Takeover program (ACS), which has a coaching-based pedagogy.

During the last semester, benefit from a pre-incubator-type program. Gain access to mentoring and support to help you bring your ideas to life and become prepared to start up or take over a company after graduation.

Admissions Criteria

Exceptions to these admission criteria may be applied.

Every application is reviewed by the College.

To be eligible for acceptance into an ACS program, applicants are generally required to meet one of the following criteria:

  • A letter of intent and a resumé that allow the College to identify the aptitudes, skills, and interests related to starting or taking over a business; and

  • Have interrupted their full-time studies for at least two (2) consecutive semesters or one (1) full school year; or

  • Have followed post-secondary studies for a period of at least one (1) year; or

  • Have a Secondary School Diploma (DES) or a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DVS), and the program allows them to receive a technical training that is not available in a DCS program; or

  • Have an equivalent education or an instruction deemed sufficient and meet the admission criteria set for college studies.

  • Once shortlisted, an interview will finalize the admissions process.
