Faculty of Arts
Welcome
The Faculty of Arts brings the traditional university focus on liberal arts to Ryerson’s unique brand of career-focused education, and, in doing so, prepares students for challenges above and beyond those at work. Our social science and humanities programs and courses are designed to activate the intellect and imagination of students, expand their ability to think critically, and help them adapt to change. Students acquire a deeper analytical understanding of how complex ideas and philosophies work together. They also gain valuable insight and skills in problem solving, evaluation, and communication-–skills essential in the new economy and in all facets of life.
The Faculty of Arts is undergoing dramatic growth as we introduce programs, new undergraduate and graduate degrees, and a fresh approach to education. We now welcome hundreds of students to our programs each September. For the past half decade we have also been welcoming large numbers of faculty each year. These colleagues bring fresh enthusiasm and interests, while contributing in significant ways to the range of research being carried out in the Faculty of Arts. Faculty members are conducting exciting research, winning research awards, and are actively involved in issues and problems in the global community. We are proud of the contributions our faculty and students are making, not only to Ryerson, but to Canadian society as a whole. They are helping lead the way in providing solutions to real-world problems and issues.
It's an exciting time to be in the Faculty of Arts at Ryerson!
