Royal Roads University is located on a spectacular 565-acre ocean-front heritage site near Victoria, B.C. One of B.C.'s newest universities, Royal Roads was founded in 1995 to offer innovative programs primarily to professionals working in the global economy. The university concentrates on its four founding themes: entrepreneurship and management; leadership and learning; environmental sustainability; and conflict resolution. Most programs are at the Master degree level, but Royal Roads also offers undergraduate completion programs in commerce and science - as well as an increasing number of graduate diploma, executive certificate, and professional development programs.

Graduate programs at Royal Roads University combine short, on-campus residencies of three to five weeks with Internet-based distance learning. This allows learners to advance their education with minimal disruption to their careers or family life, while applying new knowledge and skills immediately in their work.

Bachelor programs in commerce and science are offered in a unique "fast-track" format. Admission is based on two academic years at college or university. Learners then complete years three and four in an intensive 12-month cycle. The Bachelor of Commerce program is also available both as a two-year evening program and as a 2.5-year online program, while the new Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management is offered online over 2.5 years.

Royal Roads University recognizes the value of "real-world learning" and will offer academic credit for appropriate work experience through the use of Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) programs.

The highly qualified faculty is recruited from academic institutions and industry around the world. Because of the limited enrollment, class sizes are small.
