Marianopolis College is a private English-language college in the province of Quebec. Located in Westmount, Quebec, Canada, it is an anglophone college with a student body over 2,000. The General and Vocational Education College is affiliated with the (ACPQ), Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC) and Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA).
The college's current site is at 4873 Westmount Ave in Westmount, between Vendôme and Villa-Maria metro stations. The current campus contains 12 wings and includes two gyms, one fitness center, over four computer labs, and multiple science laboratories. Furthermore, the library was renovated in the summer of 2013, now offering a more open work space for students. A cafeteria is present on campus, as well as the general convenience store "Wayne's world". The campus also includes a large auditorium suited for conferences, concerts and presentations.
Prior to April 2007, it was situated at 3880 Côte-des-Neiges, which is now in reconstruction for a luxury apartment project known as "M sur la Montagne".
The college offers pre-university programs (not to be confused with community colleges in the U.S.A), which take two years to complete and cover the subject matters which roughly correspond to the additional year of high school given elsewhere in Canada and introductory first-year university curriculum in preparation for a chosen field in university. Accordingly, graduates may, in certain circumstances, receive advance credit of up to one full year in some disciplines when enrolling in universities outside the province of Quebec. However, Marianopolis does not offer technical (skilled trade) programs, nor adult (continuing) education, unlike many other colleges.
While the college primarily offers two-year pre-university programs leading to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC), several three-year double-DEC programs are also available. These programs allow students to combine music with Science, Social Science or Arts.
