Collège Montmorency
Collège Montmorency is a public college in Chomedey, Laval, Quebec, Canada, near the Montmorency Metro station. As of 2015, there were over 7,000 full-time students enrolled. History
In 1967, several institutions were merged and became public ones, when the Quebec system of public colleges was created. Despite Laval being the third largest city of Quebec with a population of nearly 400,000 inhabitants, Montmorency is its only college. It was founded on November 5, 1969. Programs

The college offers two types of programs: pre-university and technical. The pre-university programs, which take two years to complete, cover the subject matters which roughly correspond to the additional year of high school given elsewhere in Canada in preparation for a chosen field in university plus a first year of university. (Thus why undergraduates degrees in Quebec are three years rather than four, except for engineering) The technical programs, which take three-years to complete, applies to students who wish to pursue a skill trade. In addition Continuing education and services to business are provided. Pre-university programs
