French term or phrase: Faculté des Arts
This is from a Diplome d'Etudes Secondaires. Is it School of Arts? That seems strange if it's not university level. (Although the name of the school is Université Laval.) ???

Faculty of Arts
Explanation:
- reposted because of excessive numbers of "tired" mistakes - sorry.

"Faculty of Arts"

Quite simply

However, Université Laval seems now to have adopted a weird faculty system in which every professor and his uncle gets to direct a "faculty".
And "Arts" has gone from the list. There is "lettres" and there is "aménagement, architecture, et arts visuels".

Also - this is \"arts\" in the traditional sense, i.e. not law, not medicine, not theology and not science.

You must not confuse this with \"art\" as in \"fine art\".

Explanation:
L'admission des adultes ( for people who never received their high school diploma - this is a way to help them before beginning their university education)

L'Université Laval offre une assistance particulière aux candidats « adultes » qui désirent entreprendre des études universitaires. On entend par « adultes » les candidats titulaires du diplôme d'études secondaires (5 e secondaire) mais non titulaires d'un D.E.C. (diplôme d'études collégiales) ou d'un diplôme équivalent, qui sont âgés de 21 ans et plus et qui ont quitté le système scolaire depuis plus de deux ans.
