1 / 4

Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is a public francophone CEGEP and the only higher-education institution in its city and region, with its main campus at 30, boulevard du Séminaire Nord in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, plus a satellite location in Brossard used for adult education.

Instruction is in French. The college offers sixteen pre-university and technical programs of study, including seven double-DEC combinations that let students pursue two Diplôme d'études collégiales credentials together, spanning fields such as sciences, arts, business and technical trades.

A separate continuing-education division awards Attestation d'études collégiales (AEC) certificates, offers skills-recognition (reconnaissance des acquis et des compétences) assessment, à-la-carte courses, and customized corporate training, and administers French-proficiency testing (TEF, TEFAQ, TEF Canada) for adult learners and newcomers. The college serves two distinct populations: secondary-school graduates entering full-time DEC programs aimed at university transfer or direct entry into skilled and technical occupations, and working adults seeking shorter AEC credentials, recognized-competency assessment, or corporate training outside the regular academic calendar.

As the sole regional CEGEP, it also functions as the area's principal public access point for French-language collegial education.
