Both Canadian Military Colleges (CMCs) — the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) in Kingston, Ontario, and Royal Military College Saint-Jean (RMC Saint-Jean) in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, — truly are universities with a difference.
The CMCs offer, amongst other programmes, the Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP) — a fully subsidized education plan leading to an undergraduate degree and a commission as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).
As a ROTP student at a CMC, you will embark on an invigorating journey to become a part of a proud heritage. Officer cadets and naval cadets are enabled to excel by being immersed in an environment that values excellence in academics, physical fitness, second language proficiency and leadership. The CMC environment cultivates self-discipline, self-motivation and mutual respect, and the College Motto — Truth, Duty, Valour — guides staff and students in everything they do.
The education and military experience within the CMCs will provide you with the professional and intellectual skills necessary to assume the responsibilities and meet the demands of leadership in today’s rapidly changing world. A career as an officer of the CAF will offer you experiences and challenges, serving Canada across the country and around the globe.
The Canadian Military Colleges (CMCs) are national universities for educating and developing leaders committed to serving Canada. To achieve this goal, the demands of a CMC education go beyond academic achievement.
For officer cadets and naval cadets (otherwise referred to as cadets) studying under the Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP) or the University Training Plan - Non-Commissioned Members (UTPNCM), the CMCs degree is based on four interlocking pillars: Academics, Military, Physical Fitness and Bilingualism, each of which is incorporated throughout the formal and informal elements of the RMC programme.
The Four Pillars Of Achievement
The military pillar develops skills needed by officers to succeed in today’s complex and rapidly changing world. Upon completion of the Basic Military Officer Qualification training, given at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School, students accepted at one of the CMCs will continue learning the elements of military training during the Colleges’ Orientation Program.
Officer cadets and naval cadets are given the opportunity to hold leadership positions while at the Colleges and are mentored by military staff and senior students.
The CMCs teach the importance of character development and a healthy lifestyle through physical fitness. The Physical Education and Athletics Programme helps each officer and naval cadet attain a high level of physical fitness, learn the skills of a wide variety of team and individual sports, develop a strong proficiency in hand-to-hand combat and aquatics activities, all the while with the primary intent of character growth and leadership skill development. This programme is an integral part of the curriculum. The officer cadets and naval cadets must meet the CMC fitness standards to graduate.
Bilingualism reflects Canada’s heritage. As representatives of this heritage, officers are expected to be fluent in both of Canada’s official languages. Upon arrival at a military college, officer and naval cadets complete a second language proficiency evaluation. They are grouped in small classes according to their level of bilingualism. Four to six hours per week of second language training is mandatory up until they achieve a BBB level recognized by the Public Service Commission. An immersion course is also given during the summer.
Studies are at the heart of officer training. All ROTP officer cadets and naval cadets will complete one of the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science (Honours), Bachelor of Science, or a Bachelor of Engineering. There are 20 overarching academic programmes that are offered, 19 at RMC and one at RMC Saint-Jean. Many of these programmes can be taken as double Honours, double Majors, Joint Major, or a Major with a Minor or double Minor.
Kingston Campus
The campus, rich in history, heritage and tradition, is located on Point Frederick, a small peninsula near downtown Kingston, Ontario, situated midway between Toronto and Montreal, and only two hours from Ottawa. RMC acknowledges that the land on which it is located is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples.
Dorms
ROTP students are required to live on campus. Available single rooms are normally allocated to Fourth Year students. Other senior students are allocated single rooms on a space available basis. First Year students are quartered in double rooms. All residences are co-ed.
