History

The Cégep de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu traces its origins to the merger of several institutions which became public ones in 1967, when the Quebec system of CEGEPs was created.

Programs

Cégep Saint-Jean sur Richelieu

Quebec students complete one fewer grade than all other Canadian provinces in total before attending CEGEP de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, by ending high school in grade 11 instead of grade 12. CEGEP de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu then prepared students for university or to enter a technical profession. Most of the Cégep's technical programs are delivered through the Bureau de liaison avec l'entreprise (BLE – business liaison office) which coordinates internships to students in Quebec and abroad. The Province of Quebec awards a

Diploma of Collegial Studies
for two types of programs: two years of pre-university studies or three years of vocational (technical) studies.

It is also possible to attend a university with a 3-year technical CEGEP de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu diploma. The CEGEP de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu offers two types of programs: pre-university and technical. The pre-university programs, which take two years to complete, cover the subject matters which roughly correspond to the additional year of high school given elsewhere in Canada in preparation for a chosen field in university. The technical programs, which take three-years to complete, applies to students who wish to pursue a skilled trade.

Facilities

Actiforme Consultants manages the Cégep's fitness centre. A Memorandum of Understanding between the city and the Cégep de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu covers maintenance of outdoor sports fields (

soccer, tennis, softball
). In exchange, municipal sports teams can use these fields free of charge after class times. The Cégep contracted management of its performance hall, Théâtre des Deux Rives, to a local non-profit organization.

Development fund
