About Royal Roads University

At Royal Roads University, we provide high quality, innovative, competitively priced, and applied post-secondary education to working professionals and career-focused students in Canada and around the globe. We’ve been an accredited university since 1995, but we’ve got a long history of excellence that goes back to 1940, when we first became a military college. Much has changed since then, but you can still find the same commitment to providing an excellent learning experience for working professionals.
