Founded on November 5, 1969, Collège Montmorency is a Francophone public college in Chomedey, Laval, Quebec, Canada, near the Montmorency Metro station. As of 2015, there were between 7000 and 7500 students enrolled.
The College of General and Vocational Education is affiliated with the ACCC, and CCAA.
In 1967, several institutions were merged and became public ones, when the Quebec system of public colleges was created. Despite Laval being the third largest city of Quebec with a population of nearly 400,000 inhabitants, Montmorency is its only college.
The college 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 plus a first year of University. (Thus why Undergraduates degrees in Quebec are 3 years rather than 4, except for Engineering) The technical programs, which take three-years to complete, applies to students who wish to pursue a skill trade. In addition Continuing education and services to business are provided.
Usually, pre-university programs require four semesters (two years) to complete. Students can then pursue further studies at university in a field related to their DEC.
Usually, double diploma programs require six semesters (three years) to complete.
Usually, technical and career programs require six semesters (three years) to complete. Following the obtention of their diploma, students can go on the job market or pursue further studies in university in a field related to their diploma.
Montmorency's basketball team is among the best in all Canada. The men and women team won many medals in the national championship. In 2006, both teams won the gold medal in the national championship, the boys team winning after trailing by 19 points at the half against the home team of the tournament.Momo also has a football team and will be playing their first year in the Collégial AAA league, the best league in Quebec, after winning a silver medal in the Collégial AA league.
