Located in the heart of Canada’s largest metropolitan centre, Ryerson University offers an exciting and innovative graduate program with full-time and part-time study options leading to a Master of Arts in Public Policy and Administration. Launched in 2005, the program gives students the extraordinary advantage of proximity to, and engagement with, business, government and community agencies. This proximity is a significant asset in supporting student research, networking and placement/ internship opportunities.
In 2007-8, the program received the highest possible evaluation after an Ontario Council of Graduate Schools (OCGS) review, and in summer, 2008, it was the first program in Canada to earn accreditation from CAPPA – The Canadian Association of Programs in Public Administration.
We hope that you'll find all the information you need about the Public Policy and Administration M.A. program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
“Ryerson’s MA in Public Policy and Administration is the most marketable
and valuable degree I could have completed.”
