Overview
Collège Mérici is a private collegial institution (cégep privé) in Quebec City, founded in 1930 and named for the Italian educator Saint Angela Merici.
Its campus sits near the Plains of Abraham, a short walk from downtown Quebec City, and it welcomes more than 1,200 students across regular day programs, continuing education, and custom corporate training. Instruction is delivered in French, with a francophone institutional culture and an active international exchange presence.
Mérici offers both pre-university streams that prepare students for university study and technical (career) programs leading directly to the labour market, spanning fields such as hospitality management, tourism, special care counselling, business administration, audioprosthetics, and orthotics and prosthetics. A distinctive feature is its aviation training stream, which combines classroom instruction with flight training toward commercial pilot licensure.
Many technical programs are built on an alternance model that blends coursework with paid, supervised work placements at partner employers, letting students earn income while building professional experience before graduation.
The college also runs a continuing-education division offering shorter AEC (attestation d'études collégiales) certificates for adult learners and career changers. Mérici holds Collège vert (green college) recognition for its environmental initiatives and fields varsity athletic teams, the Panthères, in the provincial collegiate sports network.
Student services include residences, food services, financial aid, and an active alumni foundation.
