The Royal Military College of Canada

Founded in 1876, the Royal Military College of Canada, located in Kingston Ontario, is the only federal institution with degree granting powers. Originally oriented very heavily towards science and engineering, since WWII it has broadened to cover a wide range of disciplines. Its extraordinary learning environment has provided Canada with its leaders in the military, education, industry and public service in a proportion far higher than its size would predict. During the past quarter century, the increased emphasis upon graduate studies and research at RMC has resulted in significant leadership in these domains as well.
