History
In 1967, several institutions were merged and became public ones, when the Quebec system of CEGEPs was created. Despite Laval being the 3rd largest city of Quebec with a population of nearly 400,000, Montmorency is its only college, as it is not rare for students seeking a better education to prefer crossing the river south and study in
Montreal , though whether quality differs between Cégeps is disputed.Programs
The CEGEP offers two types of programs: pre-university and technical. The pre-university programs, which take two years to complete, cover the subject matters which roughly correspond to the additional year of high school given elsewhere in Canada in preparation for a chosen field in university. The technical programs, which take three-years to complete, applies to students who wish to pursue a skill trade. In addition Continuing education and services to business are provided.
