In the university's professional and professionally-related courses, theory and practice are combined in the learning process. Classroom concepts are continually applied through regular, formal contact with business and industry, laboratory work, field trips, off-campus project work and experience in the professional community.

Small class sizes enhance the learning process by enabling close contact between students and faculty members. The scope and the rigour of a Ryerson education produce graduates with the ability to adapt to challenges and opportunities within their professional fields.
