2. Programmes Offered

2.1 General Information

The programmes of graduate studies at RMC are open to Officers and non-commissioned members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Regular and Reserves, and to civilians who are either Canadian citizens or permanent residents. All the graduate programmes are subjected to the appraisal process administered by the Ontario Council of Graduate Studies, Council of Ontario Universities.

The RMC Senate has ruled, as a matter of policy, that programmes failing to meet this external standard will not be offered. The Institutional philosophy of RMC is predicated on limiting the number of programmes and maintaining the standards to be among the best.
