History
Pavillon de Cégep de Sherbrooke

The college traces its origins to the merger of several institutions which became public ones in 1967, when the Quebec system of CEGEPs was created.

Campus

The 10 acre campus includes 6 academic pavilions, academic laboratories, a sport centre (le Cap), a theatre (Alfred-Des Rochers), a residence, and plenty of green space. An agricultural centre is located in Coaticook.

Programs
