About Royal Military College

Historic, bilingual college providing military training, plus arts, science & engineering degrees. The Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), located on Point Frederick in Kingston, Ontario, is Canada's military academy and a degree-granting university of the Canadian Armed Forces. Established in 1874 with its first classes in 1876, RMC provides a comprehensive education that combines military training with academic studies in arts, science, and engineering. It is the only federal institution in Canada with degree-granting powers, offering undergraduate and graduate programs both on campus and through distance learning. The college aims to prepare officer-cadets for careers in the profession of arms and to foster the development of other Canadian Forces members and civilians interested in defence issues. RMC emphasizes four pillars of training: academics, military, athletics, and bilingualism. Its campus blends historic buildings with modern academic, athletic, and dormitory facilities.
