Talk:CEGEP

message: I believe we should include academic life, so high school students would learn what they will encounter. Some suggestions are the english (or french?) exit exam, the cote r or I preferably call it CRC, the expensive books, or the freedom of scheduling.--Janarius 13:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

message: "Most Quebec university programs are three years in length for Quebec students, so the total number of years of study from primary school to a Bachelor's degree is the same as in the rest of North America"
I wish people would write more clearly.
NO!  NO! NO!
------------
the total number of years of study from primary school to *****START**** a Bachelor's degree is the same as in the rest of North America. 
:
If it only takes 3 years to obtain a degree then Quebecers go to school minus 1 year to obtain a degree than the rest of North America! I'm sure there are some places in The U.S where you can get a degree in 3 years. There are probably some places where you can probably even get a degree without even going to school(private money grabbing colleges):)
:
All I know is they get 1 more year of a better life...unlike in god forsaken Ontario where we were tortured for 5 year to even attempt university application. It took Ontario them 30 years to figure out that we were being over schooled. While the U.S and Quebec went on with life much earlier
:
Since when does a secondary school grant degrees?  Degree granting is only reserved to those post-secondary institutions that have been granted the right to do so.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.8.72.202 (talk) 19:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Can anyone write the difference between a community college and a cegep?--Janarius 19:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But Dawson College, for example, does offer nursing. The problems coming up on this talk page must be addressed in the article! The distinction exists nowhere else in North America and is therefore naturally difficult for anyone outside Québec to understand. A CÉGEP is a mandatory precursor to university in Québec (where high school ends at grade 11, or secondaire V in French), which is its main distinguishing feature from other community colleges and vocational schools.

thread_title:  Suggested move 

message: "Examples of programs are: Instrumentation Automation Robotics, Architectural Technology, Nursing, Building Engineering Technology, Computer Science and ect."
Is ect short for some Quebec post secondary program (European Car Technology, Ear Candling Technologist), or do we mean etc. as in etcetera?
Incidentally, Its generally preferable not to use etcetera or etc. in serious writing. -Dhodges 16:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Programs offered 

message: Text says "Diploma of Collegial Studies (DCS), also known as the "DEC", from the French Diplôme d'études collégiales." which appears to be factually correct.  But what do people call them?  When I was in Cegep (both Vanier and Dawson), we always called it a DEC, not a DCS.  Now that was a couple of decades ago - what is the current usage? Nfitz 20:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Anglophones exclusively use DEC (pronunciation: [dek]) to refer to their diploma (as do francophones, but that is not anomalous). --Msanford (talk) 01:08, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  DEC 

message: I’m just wondering, what is a 3-year vocational DEC equivalent to? An associate’s degree? Bachelor’s? — NRen2k5 15:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is definitely not equivalent to a bachelor; in fact universities will accept student students with a 3-year DEC in the bachelor degree at the same level than those who have done a 2-year degree. (Some people will do that so that with only one year more of studies, they can get a professional well-paid job while they complete their university studies part-time.) From what I see at the Associate's degree page, I would say it is similar to a DEC. UnHoly 17:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Equivalence to American diplomas 

message: I have added information based on my own experience applying from CÉGEP, with a DEC, to an Ontario university. I am familiar with the policies I have claimed exist, but a citation is still needed. However, as such policies are institutionally-dependant, and not regulated by provincial (or state, AFAIK) governments, citations will be hard to come by. Suggestions on ways to clean up the fact-ness of it are welcome! Msanford (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Education path additions (outside Québec) 

message: Most of the content of this article is not specific to Cégeps, but to the Quebec college system as a whole. I would like help moving the content to the appropriate article College (Quebec), and making this article about what it should be, the Cégep system.--UnQuébécois (talk) 00:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
