Cégep de Saint-Laurent is a public French-language college located in the Saint-Laurent borough of the city of Montreal, Quebec. It is a few doors south of the English-language public college Vanier.

History

Programs

The college offers two types of programs: pre-university and technical.

In addition, the Continuing Education Centre offers a wide variety of credit courses and programs with flexible scheduling.
