About the university
Cégep de Saint-Félicien is a small public CEGEP in Saint-Félicien, in Quebec's Lac-Saint-Jean region. It is known for its natural environment programmes (forest, wildlife, natural heritage and environmental protection), with a 112-hectare teaching forest, and also offers technical DECs in animal health, nursing, forest products, business administration, tourism and computer science, plus two-year pre-university DECs. All teaching is in French.
The college has an international office and admits students from abroad, but it does not publish international tuition on its website, so no courses with fees are listed here. Ask the international office (international@cegepstfe.ca) for the cost of your programme.
