MILITARY ARTS AND SCIENCE (part-time)

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The aim of the diploma in Military Arts and Sciences is to provide Non-Commissioned Members (NCMs) of the Canadian Forces and those interested in military affairs, a comprehensive knowledge of leadership, critical thinking, security studies, resource management, and communication skills deemed essential to the functioning of modern military or large corporations. This diploma will serve as a recognized component of the Non-Commissioned Members training.


The delivery of this exciting online program is made possible by an innovative partnership between OntarioLearn (Algonquin College consortium member), the Royal Military College (RMC), and the Canadian Defence Academy. Upon successful completion of this program, graduates may be provided with advanced standing in the Bachelor of Military Arts and Science offered at the Royal Military College.
