Branches can help you explore options and map out your academic path, whether you’re undecided about your future, or interested in joining the McGill community. We also facilitate outreach activities in Indigenous communities and schools. Working with school boards, educators and families, our programming aims to support Indigenous student success, and helps students see themselves as lifelong learners.
In-Community Explore brings the Explore experience to you! We recognize that not all schools and CEGEPs in Quebec are located near our McGill campus. We have launched this initiative to share the different areas of studies, resources and services offered at McGill with students throughout Quebec.
