The Cégep of Granby Haute-Yamaska is part of Quebec's CEGEP network. It is located in the city of Granby. Almost 1800 students attend classes there full-time.

History

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.

Programs

The CEGEP offers two types of programs: pre-university and technical.
