Royal Roads University and the Canadian Armed Forces signed an agreement last week to launch a new Regular Officer Training Program stream for CAF members. Graduates of the program will earn a bachelor’s degree in one of four areas while also obtaining military-focused training in areas including leadership, ethics, and fitness. Royal Roads and the CAF will create a joint committee to oversee the program’s planning, delivery, and evaluation. Canadian Defence Academy Commander Major-General Jeannot Boucher explained that the program’s combination of academic and military training, “[equips] our officers to think critically, lead with integrity, and meet the evolving security challenges facing Canada.”
