About the university

Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe is a public CEGEP in Saint-Hyacinthe, about an hour east of Montreal. It offers 18 technical DECs, among them computer science (software development, networks and cybersecurity), business administration, financial services, civil and building engineering technology, laboratory and biomedical technology, dietetics and nursing. Pre-university programmes are closed to international students except Arts visuels et médiatiques, as are dental hygiene, animal health, pre-hospital emergency care and acting. All teaching is in French.

International tuition is CAD 15,150 to 23,480 a year depending on the programme (CAD 7,575 to 11,740 per term), but the college does not say which fee applies to which programme, so no courses with fees are listed here. Ask the international office for your programme's fee before you apply.
