The Ryerson Student Code of Academic Conduct defines
academic misconduct, the processes the University will

consequences that can be imposed if students are found
to be guilty of misconduct.

depending on dietary needs. It is an innovative interdisciplinary degree that also pro-
vides students with insight into the nature of contempo-
rary society and the skills and competencies necessary
for career mobility.
The degree consists of a range of required interdisciplin-
ary courses that allow students to focus on those thinkers
whose ideas have most deeply affected our society, the
‘Ideas that Shape the World’. In these courses, students
also develop key skills and competencies: the ability to
read precisely and critically, to communicate effectively,
to develop strategies for life-long learning, to mediate
conflict and work in teams, to do analysis and engage in
research design.
Students may choose an area of concentration from
the professional courses from Table I. Eight options are
available; four of these options are subject-based and the
other four are interdisciplinary.

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.

The process is the same for both disciplines. Admission
is by an online placement test and/or by an interview dur-
ing specific periods in the year. Students should check
the Website of the Department of French and Spanish to
find out when the placement test is available. Admission
is granted on a first-come, first-served basis and late
registrants are normally not accepted.
The wide diversity of students’ educational backgrounds at
Ryerson makes testing necessary: it allows faculty to coun-
sel students accurately as to which course or courses are
appropriate and it ensures a uniform level of language skills
in each class. Students who have never taken language
courses at Ryerson University are therefore required to
take the placement test to ensure that they are placed in the
appropriate level. Please note that students willfully or inad-
vertently enrolled in the wrong course(s) may be forced to
re-enroll at the Instructor’s discretion, or drop the course(s).

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program prepares graduates for a career as a
professional Interior Designer. While most graduates be-
come registered members of A.R.I.D.O. (Association of
Registered Interior Designers of Ontario) or of the Interior

graduate studies in Interior Design or related disciplines,
and others enjoy successful careers in allied fields.
The first year concentrates on giving all students a
common base of theory, knowledge and skills. In the
second year, Interior Design is a key professional course

The program provides an integrated series of courses to

The first two years of the program provides common

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
spectrum of exposure to technology and management.

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

first and second semester curriculum is exactly the same
as that of any of the other five science plans currently of-
fered by the Faculty. All of the information provided in the
plan description of these science plans is relevant and
applicable to the undeclared science students.
Undeclared science students must, by no later than
February 2nd, declare their intention to enroll in a plan of
their choice from one of the five science plans currently
offered (i.e., Biology, Chemistry, Contemporary Science,

During the course intention period, students will select

second year from their chosen plan.
Depending on space availability, undeclared students
who complete the curriculum of the first year with CLEAR
Academic Standing, and who achieve acceptable grades
in the required courses of the discipline they wish to
pursue, will remain in and be enrolled in the science plan
of their choice.
Students already in a declared plan who wish to switch
to another science plan should contact the First Year and
Common Science Office by February 2nd.
Any undeclared science student will continue to be
enrolled in the undeclared plan of study until they achieve
CLEAR Academic Standing. In cases where the unde-
clared designation is on-going due to poor academic
performance, student course intention will be subject to a
written statement of understanding between the student
and the program director of his/her desired program.

course and off-campus applied projects. In addition to
completing all academic requirements for graduation,
students in the Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and
Tourism Management are required to complete a total
of 1,600 hours of documented work experience in the
hospitality and tourism industry. This enables students
to be exposed to a range of professional settings and
to observe and evaluate industry styles of management
in action. This first-hand experience which is supported
by the school’s Placement Centre, helps many students
clarify their career goals before graduation.
