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 matter which roughly corresponds 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 for adults and services to businesses are provided. The CEGEP is ranked among the lowest for teaching quality [1] and is located in an impoverished neighborhood of Longueuil.[2]

Montreal Metro expansion
