Prerequisites
Basis of admission
- DEC in nursing (Quebec CEGEP applicants)
- University applicants and applicants from outside Quebec (other applications: 76 applications, 27 places)
Eligible DECs and their conditions
- DEC in nursing (180.A0 or 180.B0) — college component of the DEC-BAC
- DEC in nursing, earlier versions (180.01, 180.21 or earlier versions)
- Nursing diploma obtained outside Quebec and deemed equivalent to the DEC in nursing by the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ)
No separate prerequisite course is published: the condition is the DEC in nursing itself. Except for holders of DEC 180.A0 or 180.B0, the applicant must hold a licence to practise from the OIIQ and be registered on the Order's roll. Recognition: DEC 180.A0/180.B0 satisfies the requirements of the segment 01 courses (35 credits); holders of earlier versions may request recognition of prior learning for segment 01 after admission. Selection criterion: excellence of the academic record is the only criterion, with a minimum required performance score of 24.500. French: C1 in listening and reading comprehension on the recognized test (or Épreuve uniforme / recognized proof). 105-credit program, 2 years, starting in August 2027; also offered at the Laval campus (separate page, not collected).

Plan B — related programs to consider
Bachelor of Nursing — Initial Training (UdeM)
The DEC-BAC program page itself refers holders of a DEC in Natural Sciences or an equivalent diploma to it: it is the entry pathway to the bachelor's degree in nursing without a DEC in nursing.
The published pathway for an applicant without a DEC in nursing is the initial training program (see plan_b); the DEC in nursing is obtained at a CEGEP.
