Subject-Based Op�ons
The subject-based options allow students to combine
their interdisciplinary studies with a focus in one of four
humanities disciplines:
• English Option – This option provides students with
a course of study that focuses on how to read critical-
ly—that is, analyze, historicize, and politicize—a wide
range of literary and cultural texts. Students examine
how such things as genre, form, method, historical
period, geography and nation inform narrative media,
including works of literature, film, television, digital
culture, and the visual arts. Through an engagement
with narratives of the past and the present, students
develop a critical understanding of contemporary
cultural production.
• French Option – This option provides students with Management, Law, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and
the opportunity to gain a specialization in this im- Finance. Students can pursue a Minor in some of these

provides studies in fundamental science and mathemat-
ics, engineering science and engineering design. The
main engineering areas of the curriculum are machine
design, manufacturing and fabrication, materials, thermal
and fluid processes and mechatronics. A balance of
liberal arts and complementary studies, including some
management courses, further the student’s ability in
communication and provide a wider understanding of the
modern technological society.
The blend of theory and practice is found throughout the
program. Lectures are reinforced with comprehensive
experiments and demonstrations in many laboratories.
Starting in fifth semester, students have the option of
specializing in mechatronics. The Mechatronics Op-
tion concentrates on the integration of electronics with
mechanical systems in applications such as robotics and
system controls. Students not taking the Mechatronics
Option can choose a wide variety of technical electives
in the seventh and eighth semesters to provide a wider

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
First Year: The BSc in Contemporary Science shares a
point of entry with the BSc programs in Biology, Chemis-
try, Mathematics and its Applications, and Medical Phys-
ics through which all new students at Ryerson complete a
common first year. In addition to BSc foundation courses,
your first year studies will include an introduction to the
use of computers as scientific tools, and an orienta-
tion course that will support you in making a successful
transition to university and planning your steps to degree
completion. All students in Science programs must enroll
in SCI 180 in their first semester of studies.
Upper Years: You’ll experience the interrelated nature
of modern science firsthand through a multidisciplinary
curriculum in which you focus on not one, but three areas
of science beginning in your second year. Seven streams
are offered, from which you can choose the three best
suited to your interests and goals. Your choices include a
minimum of one of Computational Sciences, Informatics,
and Physics. Owing to the overlap in curriculum content
and focus, students may not choose both Biology and
Environmental Sciences Streams.
The program requires the student to take three lower
level liberal studies courses and three upper level liberal
studies courses prior to graduation. Of these liberal stud-
ies courses, one is to be selected from a thematic list of
courses on history of science/impact of technology/phi- Furthermore, in order to continue taking courses within
