"Currently enrolled in a related Bachelor’s Degree program" I guess that eliminates all the Marine Engineer Cadet programmes (note the non-American spelling) in Canada. A 4th Class can't be regarded as a Bachelor's Degree. Perhaps a BA in Marine Art could be a "related" degree, eh?

They must be looking to poach cadets from the Coast Guard College considering the students from the college are now eligible to receive degrees from Cape Breton University

[JollyJack]

What kind of degree? Something like one from Trump University?

[JK]

Some degree. Arts? Nautical science?
That's how they keep the old guys out of management, ask for the degree and bilingual.

Also usually means they don't know Jack (or Jacques) about the real world.
