LIBERAL STUDIES CURRICULUMLiberal Studies Policy
Students must complete Liberal Studies as part of the requirements for graduation in all Ryerson programs.
Such studies must be in disciplines outside the student’s field of professional specialization; their purpose is to develop the capacity to understand and appraise the social and cultural context in which graduates will work as professionals and live as educated citizens.
These studies are offered at two levels: the Lower, which are normally taken during the first two years of a four-year program, and the Upper, which are normally taken during the last two years.
The courses offered at each Level are listed in Tables A and B.
THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF LOWER-LEVEL LIBERAL STUDIES COURSES, AND OF UPPER-LEVEL, VARIES ACCORDING TO PROGRAM, AND IS SPECIFIED IN THE PROGRAM OVERVIEW OF EACH PROGRAM PUBLISHED IN THIS CALENDAR.
NOTE: Certain courses listed in Tables A and B, due to their close relation to the professional fields, cannot be taken for Liberal Study credit by students in some programs. A list of these programs and the restricted courses is provided following Table A and Table B in this Calendar.
STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING APPROPRIATE COURSE SELECTIONS. THEY SHOULD CONSULT THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THEIR PROGRAMS PUBLISHED IN THIS CALENDAR WITH CARE.
CONSULTATION WITH LIBERAL STUDIES ADVISORS IN THE LIBERAL STUDY REGISTRATION AREA IN POD-357 DURING REGISTRATION WEEK IN SEPTEMBER AND JANUARY IS RECOMMENDED IF STUDENTS HAVE ANY UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THEIR COURSE SELECTIONS.
