Athletic and Second Language Requirements

Important: The athletic requirement and the second language requirement apply to all RMC degree programmes except the 30-credit general degree programmes.

LCF: Based on the result of a placement test, students will be registered in LCF courses at the 100, 200, 300, or 400-level. Students will automatically be exempt from applicable lower level LCF courses once placed in the appropriate course. Students who attain a Second Official Language (SOL) proficiency level of at least BBB or higher on the Public Service Commission (PSC) Second Language Evaluation (SLE) will be exempt from LCF courses at RMC.

ATE101: Foundations of Fitness, Health and Sports
ATE301: Unarmed Combatives, Military Skills and Individual Sports
LCF100 : Compétence de base – partie I
LCF200 : Compétence de base – partie II
LCF301 : Compétence intermédiaire – partie I
LCF302 : Compétence intermédiaire – partie II
LCF400 : Compétence intermédiaire - partie III

Note: The PSC SLE is the only SOL certification-testing instrument currently accredited and used by the CAF to assess the SOL proficiency level. (DAOD 5039-8, Canadian Armed Forces Second Official Language Certification Testing)

CSE408 Internet of Things Communications and Networks
CSE453 Modelling and Simulation
CSE407 Modern Machine Learning or CSE472 Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (whichever was not taken as a part of the mandatory courses)
MAE236 Introduction to Game Theory
MAE310 Statistics
MAE384 Analytics and the Operational Planning Process
MAE441 Special Topics in Probability and Statistics
MAE442 Special Topics in Optimization

Canadian Operational Society Diploma (CORS Diploma)

Together with their RMC diploma, students can obtain the Canadian Operational Research Society Diploma.

Successfully complete the following 8 credits:

BAE344: Operations Management
BAE364: Decision Analysis
CSE101: Introduction to Algorithms and Computing
CSE341: Introduction to Database Systems
CSE453: Modeling and Simulation
CSE472: Foundations of Artificial Intelligence or BAE410: Information Systems
MAE209: Probability and Statistics or BAE242: Quantitative Methods I
MAE310: Statistics

And:

Complete a project that involves the use of an Operational Research technique.

Note: Students must obtain an overall average of B- or better for these 8 courses and the project.

One can obtain more information about this diploma at the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, at the Business Administration Department and at the Internet site: Canadian Operational Research Society.
