About the university
Collège Montmorency is a public CEGEP in Laval, just north of Montreal, and the only college established in Laval. It was founded in 1969, took its first students in 1973 and moved to its campus on boulevard de l'Avenir in 1976. It has more than 10,000 students in 26 DEC programmes, from computer science, accounting and civil engineering technology to nursing and physiotherapy. All teaching is in French.
