General Information

All degree programmes are offered in English and in French. Students will normally register in academic courses given in the student's first official language. Students who have reached the functional level in their second language may register in courses in their second language and in courses taught in a bilingual format. The academic year is divided into three terms, the Fall Term, the Winter Term and the Summer term. The academic year for full-time students normally extends from late August until May.

Degrees and programmes

The Royal Military College of Canada offers academic programmes leading to the undergraduate degrees listed below. It should be noted that not all programmes are open to all students.

College Core Curriculum

The college core curriculum represents the minimum content in certain areas which are required content of all RMC degrees. However, all students need not pass exactly the same pattern of courses in order.

The college core curriculum contains within it two separate themes;

1. The first theme is the minimum standard for Mathematics (which also includes Logic and Information Technology) and Sciences (Chemistry or Biology and Physics).

2. The second theme is a basic requirement in the study of Canadian History, Language and Culture, Political Science, International Relations and Leadership and Ethics.

First year

First Year may be completed in; Arts, Science, or Engineering. Students who complete the First Year Science Programme or the First Year Engineering Programme may proceed in Engineering or in Science in subsequent years. (They may also enter Second Year Arts but will be required to make up specific Arts courses from First Year).

Double major

Students, who successfully completes the 16 credits required for each Major of two separate disciplines, will receive a Double Major. See your department for details.

Combined or joint programme

Some departments offer a Combined Major or a Joint Major. When the Combined Major or Joint Major is in conjunction with a Science Programme, the Science Programme takes precedence, and the core courses for Science programmes must be followed. See your department for details.

Minor

In addition to the Bachelor of Arts (Honours), the Bachelor of Science (Honours), the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science students may also develop a Minor in one subject which is not an integral part of their B.A. or B.Sc. (See your department for details).

Engineering degree programmes

Bachelor of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering is responsible for the education of future officers for professional careers in engineering in the Canadian Armed Forces. Of primary concern is the development of professional competence in areas applicable to the military and society at large. The curriculum is a mixture of domain-specific engineering courses rounded out by knowledge-broadening courses in the humanities.

RMC offers six engineering programmes: Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering. All Engineering programmes are based on a common first year with specialization commencing in the second year of study. The successful solution to any engineering problem will inevitably involve the interaction of several subject areas. To give emphasis to this fact, the fourth-year programme includes a realistic engineering project for which students must define the problem as well as find an appropriate engineering solution.

Engineering programmes are a primary focus of this university, with approximately 40% of our graduates being engineers. All RMC programmes are accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (Engineers Canada). These programmes are highly regarded due to their practical application to military problems and the low student to professor ratio. These unique characteristics, along with a commitment for excellence in education, assure successful candidates of an Engineering degree with a difference.

In addition to these accredited engineering programmes, the Faculty of Engineering is also responsible for the Army Technical Staff Officer Program (ATSOP) and the Army Technical Warrant Officer (ATWO) programmes in the Department of Applied Military Science. This commitment provides continuing technical education and responsiveness to the Canadian Forces training needs.

Programme requirements

The Bachelor of Military Arts and Science (B.M.A.Sc.) is equivalent to a conventional 30 credit degree in terms of quality and quantity of instruction. The B.M.A.Sc. degree is designed to be earned over an extended period, integrating professional training and academic study.

The compulsory core for the B.M.A.Sc. programme includes the following 11 credits:

• BAE206: Fundamentals of Management (1 credit)
• HIE205: Canadian Military History: Origins to 1870 or HIE208: Canadian Military History: A Study of War and Military History, 1867 to the Present (1 credit)
• One of the following courses (1 credit): 
  • HIE270: An Introduction to Military History
  • HIE271: Introduction to Military History and Thought
  • HIE275: Survey of Technology, Society and Warfare
  • HIE371: Introduction to War and Strategy
  • HIE474: Military Technology: Men, Machines and War
  • HIE475: Technology, Society and Warfare
• POE116: Introduction to International Relations
• POE205: Canadian Politics and Society (1 credit)
• PSE103: Introduction to Human Psychology (1 credit)
• PSE401: Military Professionalism and Ethics (1 credit)
• 2 credits in English: one credit in literature, plus one credit in either literature or grammar
• 2 credits in Science (Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics)

The 30 credits taken in the B.M.A.Sc. programme must also meet the following conditions/requirements:

• Residency requirement: at least 10 credits must be taken through RMC.
• Senior level requirement: at least 10 credits must be at the senior level (300 or 400-level courses), and among these at least 5 credits must be earned through RMC.
• Military Content requirement: at least 15 credits of the minimum 30 required credits must have military content

For the purpose of the B.M.A.Sc. degree, a credit with military content is defined as one in which the learning is directly related to a military topic. There are several ways in which a credit is considered to contain military credit:

• students who have completed a course in which the main focus is clearly of a military nature (e.g., CCE204: Military Chemistry, or HIE371: War and the Military Profession).
• students who have taken a general course but directed his/her personal research to areas of a military nature (ex: the student is taking a course on the rise of modern Germany but in which papers are focused on military aspects, such as "German Defensive Innovations on the Eastern Front, 1943-44"). In these cases, students are required to submit proof of their research (i.e., a copy of the relevant papers) before any military content credits are granted.

Bachelor of Military Arts and Science (Honours) (B.M.A.Sc. (Hons))

Programme requirements

The Bachelor of Military Arts and Science (Honours) is equivalent to a conventional 40 credit Honours degree in terms of quality and quantity of instruction. The B.M.A.Sc. (Hons) degree is designed to be earned over an extended period, integrating professional training and academic study. This 40 credit Honours degree, with a specialization in Military Studies, is designed for students registered in the B.M.A.Sc. programme who intend to pursue graduate studies after completion of their Bachelor's degree. Students who complete the The Bachelor of Military Arts and Science (Honours) programme will have met one important requirement for admission into a Graduate Studies programme.

Those interested in registering in the B.M.A.Sc. (Hons) programme are required to:

• file the Request to Change Programme form once they have earned at least 20 university credits;
• have maintained an average of not less than B- in their university courses; and
• fax the form to Admissions.

The compulsory core for the B.M.A.Sc. (Hons) programme includes the following (13 credits)

The B.M.A.Sc. (Hons) programme has the same 11 credit core curriculum as the General programme, plus a Directed Research Project (MAS400), which counts for 2 credits, for a total of 13 compulsory credits.

The 40 credits taken in the B.M.A.Sc. (Hons) programme must also meet the following conditions/requirements:​

• Residency requirement: at least 20 (i.e., 18 one-term credits, plus 2 credits for the Directed Research Project (DRP)) of the course credits must be taken through RMC.
• Senior level requirement: at least 20 credits must be at the 300 or 400-level of which 10 credits must be RMC credits.
  • To ensure honours standing, students must achieve at least a B in the DRP (MAS400) and maintain, as a minimum, a B average in senior-level courses and at least a B- average in 400-level courses.
• Military content requirement: at least 20 credits of the minimum 40 credits must have military content

Directed Research Project (MAS400)

The Directed Research Project (DRP) is seen as a major component of the B.M.A.Sc. (Hons) degree in that it affords the students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to critically analyze some element of their military experience. Students are required to submit a proposal to the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, along with their application to be admitted into the programme. Upon acceptance of the proposal, a supervisor will be assigned and the work will be carried out under the guidance of that individual. If appropriate, this project may take the form of a technical project or a directed reading course with one or two major essays. Directed Readings allow students to explore subjects of particular interest through the execution of a series of assignments, while under the supervision of a university professor.

The proposal (1-3 pages) must identify a general area of interest (e.g., twentieth-century Canadian Naval Strategy). Specifically, it must provide the following information:

• why the area is of military interest
• why the student is interested in the topic
• the overall objective of the project
• what issues the student would like to discuss
• whether or not the research materials are expected to be readily available (i.e. is the material classified)
• any extraordinary sources that might be required to carry out the work
• a preliminary bibliography (approximately 20 titles)
• the name of an advisor in the local area of the student (if applicable)

During the review period, the Chair of the B.M.A.Sc. programme, in consultation with the appropriate department head, will approve or reject the proposal. If approved, an appropriate supervisor will be selected for the student (or the suggested supervisor will be appointed).

The supervisor will then, in consultation with the student, determine the specific aim of the research and direct the student's efforts towards the completion of a major research paper (generally at least 50 pages) or two or more smaller research papers (between 20 and 25 pages each). These papers must have a definite military content and represent significant individual research and critical analysis. All papers must be submitted according to an essay format deemed acceptable by the supervisor (e.g., The Chicago Manual of Style, or The Modern Language Association).

The student and the supervisor will work out a timetable for the various parts of the work and for final submission. The paper(s) will be submitted to a second reader and the second reader, in conjunction with the supervisor, will determine the grade. The Directed Research Project must earn at least a B to be counted as two credits towards the B.M.A.Sc. Honours degree.

The DRP is awarded two senior credits and should be likened to an Honours thesis, which is normally completed within two consecutive terms. Because most DRPs are completed at a distance, there are some delays to be expected due to this circumstance. Thus, a 12-month due date is set for the final draft of the DRP, starting from the date the project has a supervisor and has been approved. An extension beyond this 12-month due date may only be granted by the Chair of the B.M.A.Sc. programme, and only due to deployment/operational, medical or other exceptional circumstances.
