Drummondville, Canada • Founded 1968
Updated Sep 2026
Overview
Cégep de Drummondville is a public French-language college in Drummondville, Québec, and the first institution to offer collegiate education in the city, opened in 1968, a year after Québec created its CEGEP network.
More than 3,500 students study there each year across regular and continuing education. The college offers eight two-year pre-university DEC programs — combinable into about sixteen double-DEC pairings — fifteen three-year technical DEC programs, a Tremplin DEC transition path, and roughly fifteen AEC attestations alongside recognition of prior learning and corporate training.
Signature programs include nursing, respiratory therapy, pharmacy techniques, computer science technology, mechanical engineering technology, early childhood education and a professional music and song DEC offered alongside the pre-university music DEC. Applied research runs through two centres: the Centre collégial d'expertise en gérontologie (CCEG) and the Centre national intégré du manufacturier intelligent (CNIMI), a smart-manufacturing centre operated with the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.
Student life features the Voltigeurs varsity athletics program with sixteen teams, an esports program, an art gallery, performing-arts productions, housing assistance and on-campus health services.
Instruction is entirely in French: international applicants must pass a recognized French test (TCF, TEF, Bright or DELF/DALF B2) unless exempt. Admission — domestic and international — goes through the SRAM regional service, with Québec residents paying no tuition and international fees set per program band.
