Overview
Cegep de Matane is a public college in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, on avenue Saint-Redempteur in Matane, near the gateway to the Gaspe Peninsula.
As part of Quebec's cegep network, it offers Diploma of College Studies (DEC) programs in two streams: pre-university programs that prepare students for university study in arts, letters and communication, natural sciences, and human sciences, and technical programs that lead directly to skilled careers, including nursing, dental hygiene, computer science technology, digital creation and multimedia integration, electrical engineering technology, tourism, and land-use planning and urbanism. The college is known for its long-running Techniques de tourisme program, offered for five decades and twice crowned provincial champion at the Quebec Tourism Games, with an emphasis on eco-responsible event management and ecotourism.
Campus facilities include a dental hygiene clinic staffed by students, a FabLab for hands-on digital fabrication, a physical activity center, and a library supporting both academic streaMs. Serving a largely rural coastal region along the St. Lawrence River, the college also runs student services and residence support to draw learners from across the Lower St.
Lawrence and beyond.
Its tagline, "Cree un futur qui te ressemble" (Create a future that resembles you), reflects a focus on personalized pathways from secondary school into university transfer or the skilled workforce.
