AN INTRODUCTION TO RYERSON UNIVERSITY

Ryerson University is Canada's leader in career-focused education, with close to 90 undergraduate and graduate programs in the Faculties of Arts, Communication & Design, Community Services, Engineering, Architecture and Science, and the Ted Rogers School of Management. Founded in 1948, Ryerson has graduate and undergraduate enrollments of 25,000 students. With over 65,000 registrations annually, The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education is Canada's leading provider of university-based adult education.

Throughout its history, Ryerson has maintained its commitment to provide a high quality of professionally relevant education - an approach that combines the traditional university focus on theory with unparalleled career-oriented emphasis on professional practice.  

Ryerson offers a variety of undergraduate programs and degrees, including Bachelors of: Applied Science (BASc), Architectural Science (BArchSci), Arts (BA), Commerce (BComm), Design (BDes), Engineering (BEng), Fine Arts (BFA), Health Administration (BHA), Health Sciences (BHSc), Interior Design (BID), Journalism (BJourn), Science (BSc), Science in Nursing (BScN), Social Work (BSW), Technology (BTech), and Urban and Regional Planning (BURPl). Full- and part-time undergraduate degree programs are available within these areas, many of which offer Majors/Options within the individual program with the option of a Minor in several areas.

Ryerson’s curriculum presents a unique mix of career-focused, professionally related and liberal studies courses, which equip graduates to succeed in their chosen field. Lecture material is translated into practice through co-operative education and internship options, laboratory work, field trips, off-campus project work, and regular contact with business and industry. Liberal studies courses enhance students’ capacity to understand the social and cultural environment in which they will function, as professionals and as educated citizens.

Graduates may opt to continue their education through one of Ryerson’s 41 graduate programs, which include seven programs at the Doctorate level. More than 2,000 students are enrolled in The School of Graduate Studies, established in 2000. More information on Ryerson's graduate programs can be found at www.ryerson.ca/graduate.

The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education provides opportunities for adult learners to explore new career paths or upgrade professional skills through part-time study. Programs are designed to empower students to reach their personal and professional goals. The Chang School's 72 career-related certificate programs, numerous course series, 1,100+ courses, seminars, and workshops, and specialized bridging programs for internationally educated professionals are developed with the same rigour as all Ryerson courses. Instruction is grounded in practical experience. More than 85 percent of Chang School instructors are currently employed in their teaching fields. For more information, visit www.ryerson.ca/ce.

Degree credit courses from other universities may be used for advanced standing in many of Ryerson's full- and part-time degree programs, while The Chang School certificate programs allow students the opportunity to specialize in a field of study.

Ryerson University's commitment to delivering a high quality, relevant, career-focused education is the foundation for the success of Ryerson's more than 125,000 alumni.
