The high energies available at CERN, and the option of using either positive or negative polarized muon beams, make the fixed-target COMPASS set-up a unique place for studying GPDs, through Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS). A GPD program is part of the Medium and Long Term Plans at COMPASS. This contribution presents the methodology and the goal of such experiments
