Cegep Gerald-Godin

What Cegep Gerald-Godin does

Cégep Gérald-Godin is a public post-secondary institution (CEGEP) located in the Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève borough of western Montreal, Quebec, operating within Quebec's publicly funded college network under the supervision of the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur. Founded in 1989, the institution delivers two-year pre-university programs (Sciences de la nature, Sciences humaines with three profiles, Arts, lettres et communication, Sciences, informatique et mathématique, and double-DEC options) and three-year technical programs (DEC techniques) spanning pharmacy techniques, nursing (Soins infirmiers), biopharmaceutical technologies, programmable electronics and robotics, early childhood education, business administration, and computer science. The institution also operates a Tremplin DEC bridge pathway, continuing education and business services from a satellite location in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, and an Alliance Sport-Études program in partnership with the province for student-athletes.

The institution's underlying technology stack is conventional for a Quebec CEGEP: it uses the Omnivox student portal, Koha for library management, and Office 365 for institutional communication, with a notable proprietary asset being the Galenos specialized French-language pharmaceutical terminology lexicon developed in-house, plus a Profil TIC (ICT Profile) competency framework adopted across the network in 2013. Research activity is concentrated in three centers: CRIFÉ (francophone education innovation), CERASP, and LabSEL. The campus includes a publicly accessible sports center (currently undergoing a 2024-2025 expansion), the Salle Pauline-Julien performance venue, a Coop, and a cafeteria.

Cégep Gérald-Godin's revenue mechanics are those of a public educational institution: the majority of operating revenue flows from per-student grants via the Quebec Ministry of Education, with tuition fees regulated by the government for Quebec residents and set at differentiated (higher) levels for international students. Admission for regular programs is managed centrally through Quebec's SRASL system, while continuing education and enterprise services are enrolled directly. The college is governed by a Conseil d'administration and supported by the Fondation du Cégep Gérald-Godin for fundraising and bursaries. As a government entity, no equity ownership, private capital, or M&A structures are involved.

• Université de Montréal: French-language public research university in Montreal that is the principal destination for Gérald-Godin's pre-university graduates. Broader incumbent that overlaps on the Francophone Montreal student pipeline but operates at degree level above the college mission.

Direct peers
