Overview

Founded: 1970
Institution Type: College
Control Type: Public

Cégep de Saint-Jérôme is a French-language public college in Saint-Jérôme, Québec, serving the Laurentides region north of Montréal.

Independent since 1970, when it separated from Collège Lionel-Groulx, the college now teaches roughly 8,700 students across its regular division, continuing-education arm, and corporate training services, supported by more than 900 employees. Study takes place at the main Saint-Jérôme campus and at two regional centres, the Centre collégial de Mont-Laurier (opened 1983) and the Centre collégial de Mont-Tremblant (opened 2008).

The regular division offers 28 pre-university and technical DEC programs spanning health sciences, engineering technologies, computing, business, humanities, arts, and social intervention, while the continuing-education service (FCSEI) delivers AEC programs and workplace training. All instruction is in French, and applications are made through the SRAM regional admission service; the winter session is reserved for domestic applicants.

Applied research is a distinctive strength: the college hosts the Centre de développement des composites du Québec (CDCQ, founded 1989) and the Institut du véhicule innovant (IVI, established 2015), placing it among Canada's leading research colleges.

The Saint-Jérôme campus offers on-campus residences with 57 furnished apartments, a library, a sports complex, and Pavilion K (2017) for the human-sciences and health programs, while the affiliated Fondation du Cégep de Saint-Jérôme distributed more than one million dollars in student support in 2024-2025.
