The Cégep provides teaching in French and consists of two separate, sister entities. The main campus, Gabrielle-Roy, is located onBoulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes in theHull sector. The second campus, Felix-Leclerc, is located in the Gatineau sector onBoulevard de la Gappe. There is also a third much smaller campus called Louis-Reboul located onBoulevard Sacré-Coeur in the downtown sector.
The institution of what would become the CEGEP de l'Outaouais was founded in 1967.[3] The Quebec government under theUnion Nationale withDaniel Johnson Sr. as premier, implemented a network of 12 CEGEPs, a college educational level to replace classic courses that were abolished during theQuiet Revolution Era. During this time it incorporated several institutions that were previously under the jurisdiction of theRoman Catholic Church. It included theInstitut de Technologie de Hull, theCollège classique Marguerite-D'Youville, for girls, theCollège classique Marie-Médiatrice, for boys, theÉcole normale de Hull, theInstitut familiale de Hull and finally theÉcole des Infirmières de l'Hopital Sacré-Coeur. It was known until 1975 as theCEGEP de Hull.[3] It was then known as theCEGEP de l'Outaouais up until 1984, when it changed toCollège de l'Outaouais. In 2004, the nameCégep de l'Outaouais was restored.
The Province of Quebec awards aDiploma of Collegial Studies for two types of programs: two years of pre-university studies or three years of vocational (technical) studies. The pre-university programs, which take two years to complete, cover the subject matters which roughly correspond to the additional year of high school given elsewhere in Canada and one year of university with a focus on the student's chosen field. As a result, students who complete a Diploma of Collegial Studies usually only take 3 years to complete a bachelor's degree. The technical programs, which take three-years to complete, applies to students who wish to pursue a skill trade. In addition Continuing education and services to business are provided.
The Cégep has several pre-university programs as well as technical programs. Among pre-university courses includes :humanities (three branches),natural sciences, "sciences, letters & arts" and "arts and letters". Technical programs includes, police techniques,computer sciences,multimedia,administration, office automation,dental hygiene,health sciences,documentation,mechanical engineering,interior design, etc. Most technical courses are offered at the Gabrielle-Roy campus only, while most pre-university programs are offered at both Gabrielle-Roy and Felix-Leclerc.
While French is the main teaching language at the institution, there are also courses offered in English, Spanish, German andMandarin. Most of them are given in the Arts and Letters program.
