Champlain College St. Lawrence
Encyclopedia
St. Lawrence College is a campus
belonging to Champlain Regional College
. The campus is located in Quebec City
, Quebec
, Canada
, and is the only English-language Cégep
to serve the region.
. As a classical college affiliated to Université Laval
, St. Lawrence offered an eight year program - High School and College - leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree.
In 1965, St. Lawrence College became a coeducational institution when it accepted the students of the neighbouring Marymount College which was closing.
St. Lawrence has been located in various places during its evolution. In 1958, it started in the Grand Séminaire of Laval University; in 1964, it moved to its own facilities on Wolfe Avenue, which were sold to the Régionale de Tilly seven years later; then, in 1972, to the "old bowling alley" on Jean-Dequen; and finally, in 1977, to its present new facilities at 790 Nérée-Tremblay.
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. As St. Lawrence changed its location, it also changed as an educational institution. After the Parent Report and the emergence of the present collegial system, the High School and B. A. programs were phased out, and St. Lawrence, now a CEGEP, was first affiliated with Cégep de Sainte-Foy
and then, with Vanier College
of Montreal
. On July 1, 1972, St. Lawrence became a constituent of Champlain Regional College
