Is it finally time to choose your college program? Are you wondering about the many options available to you?

We are here to guide you and help you make an informed decision.

The objective of pre-university DCS is to prepare you for university, as their name suggests. But most importantly, they are programs that allow you to enrich your general knowledge so that you become a better informed citizen with critical thinking skills as you consider social issues and phenomena.

Good to know…

Expanding your general knowledge, opening up to the world and learning to become a better citizen is not something that can be done just by sitting in a classroom.

At LaSalle College, we believe in the importance of helping our student community see the world, so we organize numerous field trips, lectures, travel experiences and extracurricular activities aimed at developing you as a global citizen.

DCS in Arts, Literature and Communication

Start my admission process

  • Contrary to what you probably often hear, Arts, Literature and Communication programs do not only train future artists.

    With this training, you can also become a designer, architect, teacher, journalist, communications or public relations specialist, or even start your own business if that’s what you want!

  • A smiling woman with long brown hair poses playfully, flashing the peace sign near her face, with bright green nail polish, against a softly blurred artistic background.

    Clearly, the field of arts, literature and communication is rather vast. So to make sure you’re studying in a field that really fits what you want to do, we offer you the choice between two different profiles.

    Option in Arts

    The Arts option is obviously for creative souls. Your projects and courses, such as Art and Technologies, Studio and Current Issues in Arts and Design, will help you better understand and appreciate art in all its forms.

    Plus, we’re always looking for new art to brighten up our walls, so you could see your creations on display at the College!

    Option in Media

    The Media option is the perfect match if you are interested in the world of communications and media. You will take courses such as Media and Technologies, Current Issues in Culture and Media and Conceptualization and Planning of a Media Event.

    In short, you will learn to better understand and appreciate media from here and elsewhere.

DCS in Social Sciences

Start my admission process

  • Our DCS in Social Sciences is designed to prepare you for university studies so you can choose a career in a wide variety of fields, such as:

    • psychology and criminology
    • communications, marketing and journalism
    • politics, international relations and public relations
    • architecture
    • sports intervention
    • human resources
    • law
    • teaching
    • and much more!
  • A cheerful discussion among college students and their mentor in a bright classroom.

    But, once again, we are aware that the humanities is a very broad field, and it is likely that you will not be interested in all the disciplines listed above.

    So, in order to offer you a journey that better suits your strengths and interests, our program has been revised to make it as flexible as possible.

    What does this mean?

    First of all, you'll have the possibility to choose the theme and the format of your assignments and exams (according to what will be allowed by your teachers) to take advantage of your strengths and interests.

    But also, you will have the freedom to choose from a wide range of courses (this will be the moment to choose the prerequisite courses you will need in your university program!)

  • Two cheerful students in casual attire pose against a grey wall, each holding a notebook.

    • International Community and Global Issues
    • Technology, Power and the Individual
