Royal Roads University connects people to ideas and experiences that can change their lives and the world.
“I strongly believe the biggest impact at Royal Roads came through connecting with other professionals...we all came from unique backgrounds and this made many of the lessons learned very rich
and valuable for me.
Royal Roads allowed me to customize a master’s degree that t my knowledge needs, natural curiosity and passion to make a difference as a working professional.”
Jeff Renaud
2011 MA, Interdisciplinary Studies
A COMMUNITY
A powerful idea has created a powerful community.
Royal Roads University has developed into a vibrant, robust and relevant community of people taking knowledge and experience and turning it into opportunity.
From its inception in 1995, Royal Roads set out to change
the way university works, by building something new from
the ground up. We weren’t interested in re ning the traditional university. It was time for something new, something speci cally designed for learners. We pioneered the “blended learning” model, combining the strengths of team-based, applied and experiential practices.
Our combination of intense and rewarding residencies with
a richly collaborative online environment provides an educational experience like no other.
We have carefully and purposefully built a suite of high- quality, interdisciplinary undergraduate degree-completion, graduate and doctoral programs and lifelong learning opportunities targeted to be accessible and meet the needs of busy professionals. The key attribute was and continues to be accessibility. We invite people to live their lives while continuing their education, so that success is evident in both their careers and personal growth.
