DND says it will offer a new academic program for the 2019-20 school year and review its cost structure after a 2017 audit found the Royal Military College didn’t produce better officers, despite costing twice as much to produce them.

Auditor General Michael Ferguson's fall 2017 audit of the Royal Military College found it failed to better prepare cadets for the military and at twice the cost of civilian universities. The Department of National Defence has agreed to seven House committee recommendations to improve the school's offering as it revamps programming.
