Canadian Military College Core Curriculum

The Core Curriculum represents the minimum content in certain areas which are required content for all RMC degrees. However, all students need not pass exactly the same pattern of courses in order.

The Core Curriculum contains within it two separate themes:

  • The first theme is the minimum standard for Mathematics (which also includes Logic and Information Technology) and Sciences (Chemistry or Biology and Physics);
  • The second theme is a basic requirement in the study of Canadian History, Language and Culture, Political Science, International Relations and Leadership and Ethics.
