All programs at Ryerson University have a tripartite curriculum structure. This structure was developed in order to ensure that
all Ryerson University students are exposed to a body of material
from within their own discipline (Professional courses), a body
of material relevant to their own discipline but delivered by other
disciplines (Professionally-Related courses), and a breadth requirement
in the form of material deliberately not
from their own discipline (Liberal Studies). The goal is a well
rounded total package intended to emphasize a particular base of
applied knowledge, but also to broaden the horizons of the student.
Each level of the Public Administration and Governance program requires
courses from each category of the tripartite curriculum.
COURSE RENUMBERING AND PROGRAM REDESIGN
Effective Fall 2011, some changes to the Public Administration and Governance program take effect. Please consult the Calendar for details.
- Courses in the program have been renumbered so that they all have a “PPA” prefix, and so that they follow a more traditional University nomenclature, with 100, 200, 300, and 400 indicating (approximately) the “year” in a 4-year BA program in which they should be taken

- In terms of program structure, features include:
- slight changes to what is required and what is elective at Level 1 and Level 2
- some relocation of courses between Level 2 and Level 3, and an expansion of courses that can satisfy the Economics requirement at Level 2
- separation of Level 3 into three distinct “options” (Research Paper, Practicum, and Practicum – First Nations)
Students admitted prior to Fall 2011 who wish to follow the new curriculum should contact the Department of Politics and Public Administration and complete a Term Requirement Change Form. The form is available in hard copy only from the Program Administrator in the Department.
