The Lucien-Cliche Graduate Studies Centre houses both the Val-d’Or campus of the Community College (CEGEP) of Abitibi-Témiscamingue as well as that of the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. This campus allows local students, who are prepared to accept the challenge, the opportunity to begin an advanced academic program without having to leave their home area. This institution of higher-education possesses a highly-competent and qualified teaching-staff which is accessible, experienced, and teaches Ministry-approved core programs, all within a dynamic scholastic environment. Even better, all this takes place on a centrally-located, state-of-the-art campus.
