Overview

Founded: 1968
Institution Type: College

Cégep de Granby is a public French-language college (collège d'enseignement général et professionnel) in Granby, Quebec, serving the Haute-Yamaska region between Montreal and Sherbrooke.

About 2,800 students study there each year — close to 2,000 in regular full-time DEC programs, some 350 in continuing education and around 600 participants in corporate training — supported by nearly 400 staff. The college offers three pre-university DEC programs, nine technical DEC programs and about twenty AEC continuing-education attestations, and hosts the École nationale de la chanson, a national school dedicated to francophone song.

Technical programs span nursing, early childhood education and specialized education, mechanical, industrial and electrical engineering technologies, computer science, tourism and business administration, with most programs admitting in both fall and winter sessions. Instruction is entirely in French, and admission to full-time DEC studies — domestic and international — goes through the SRAM regional admission service, with a mandatory French-language test for applicants schooled outside Quebec.

Quebec residents pay no tuition for full-time regular studies, Canadian students from other provinces pay a per-session rate, and international tuition follows Quebec's regulated per-program fee families, with French citizens exempt from the international supplement.

The college does not run a residence of its own but partners on a student pavilion adjacent to campus and helps students find off-campus housing. With a mid-sized student body and close teacher-student contact, Cégep de Granby emphasizes accessible programs and strong ties to regional employers.
