My instructors were expressive, passionate, intelligent, and open to new ideas.

“I was looking for a degree program that would allow me to keep working in my current role while challenging me to grow within my field of expertise. The content at Royal Roads University was exactly what I was looking for. The biggest impact for me, personally and professionally, was the improved confidence I developed as a result of my program. 

For anyone considering enrollment at RRU, I suggest they make a plan with their current partner. The program eats into your downtime from work – the time that’s usually committed to enjoying with friends and family. It’s best to plan ways to achieve balance while going through this major change in your life. The blended learning model offers the best of both worlds: the flexibility to complete your program around your schedule, with the benefit of knowing the personalities, backgrounds and attitudes of the people in your cohort.”
