Course Calendar 2011-2012 - Champlain College Saint-Lambert

Explorations Science - Orientation & Integration Sessions (081.62)
Entrance Requirement
Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies, or the
equivalent, including a minimum of Math CST 5 and
Physical Science. Entrance is also available to students
who have completed higher level Sec. 4 or Sec. 5 Math
courses. Please contact the Admissions Office for
further information.
Explorations Science is limited in enrolment due to
space constraints as well as its rigorous nature. As such
not all qualified candidates can be admitted.
For more information, please refer to our website at
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.
Please Note: The option is designed for students who
want to pursue a Science-related program or career but
are missing the required high school pre-requisite
courses. This option is not open to students who passed
their high school math/science courses for entrance into
Science but their overall record results in a refusal. Nor is
it designed for students who have tried but failed these
prerequisite courses.
Other Information
Students who apply for this preparatory year should be
advised that it will require dedication and motivation
on their part. The Sciences are among the most difficult
subjects at the college and university level. The amount
of homework assigned will be considerable in order to
maximize students’ preparation.
A proper science preparation requires one full year of
study. In the first semester, we will provide the basics of
Physical Science and Mathematics. In the second
semester we will cover the Cégep equivalent of Sec.V
Chemistry, Physics and an appropriate Mathematics
course. Emphasis will also be placed on the development
of study skills and scientific methodology which students
must develop in order to succeed in Science.
Explorations Science
Possible combinations of semester courses depending on high school courses taken
The Study Skills in Algebra or Trigonometry (Complementary course in Mathematics) offered in the first semester will offer content that
is sometimes not covered in high school but which is desirable preparation for Calculus and Physics. The course will have a strong
emphasis on developing mathematical maturity and discipline.
