Overview
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.

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.
