Degrees are programs designed to provide advanced skills and knowledge at the baccalaureate level. In addition to the applied learning focus that is the hallmark of all Red River College Polytechnic programs, degrees add higher level critical thinking, inquiry and problem-solving skills as well as significant depth to the learning experience at a higher level than the diploma.
