Cégep Heritage College

What Cégep Heritage College does

Cégep Heritage College is a public anglophone CÉGEP (Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel) located in Gatineau, Quebec, and the only English-language public CÉGEP in Western Quebec. Founded in 1988 and operating from a single main campus at 325 boul. de la Cité-des-Jeunes, the College delivers post-secondary education to over 1,500 students through seven technical programs (Computer Science, Electronics Engineering Technology, Graphic and Web Design, Nursing, Early Childhood Education, Special Education Techniques, and Business Administration-adjacent technical tracks) and four pre-university programs (Business Administration, Liberal Arts, Science, Social Science, and Visual Arts), supplemented by Continuing Education for adults and a Co-op Education program. Its core technology is conventional in-person post-secondary pedagogy augmented by articulation agreements with universities and a co-op work-integrated learning model.

The College is governed under Quebec's public college network with a Board of Governors and is primarily funded through provincial government grants alongside provincially regulated tuition fees. Its go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: prospective Quebec, out-of-province, and international applicants engage through the College's website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, Flickr), open houses, campus visits, and virtual tours. The College operates no proprietary technology product; its service portfolio is the curriculum itself. Auxiliary revenue streams include facility rentals to the public and continuing-education business services, and fundraising is supported by the Cégep Heritage College Foundation.
