CÉGEP

A CEGEP is a post-secondary education institution exclusive to the province of Quebec in Canada. CEGEP is a French acronym for Collège d’enseignement général et professionnel, meaning “College of General and Vocational Education”. They are comparable to community colleges, but are required to enter university, which is why secondary school and undergraduate degrees both are one year less in Quebec.

The purpose of CEGEPs is to make post-secondary education more accessible in Quebec, as well as to provide proper academic preparation for university.  There are both public and private subsidized CEGEPs with the public CEGEPs having little or no tuition fee.
