Liberal Studies Policy

Liberal Studies courses must be completed as part of the requirements for graduation in all Ryerson programs.

Such studies must be in disciplines outside the your field of professional specialization; their purpose is to develop your 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 (LL) Table A, which are normally taken during the first two years of a four-year program, and the Upper (UL) Table B, which are normally taken during the last two years.

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 THE CALENDAR. Certain courses listed in the Lower Level Liberal Studies Table A and in the Upper Level Liberal Studies Table 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 in the Undergraduate Calendars.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING APPROPRIATE COURSE INTENTIONS. YOU SHOULD CONSULT THE DESCRIPTIONS OF YOUR PROGRAM PUBLISHED IN THE CALENDAR WITH CARE.

Courses not identified as either (LL) or (UL) are NOT Liberal Studies courses and will not be used towards the fulfillment of a Liberal Studies Requirement for graduation purposes.
