Ryerson University

• Ryerson University houses a civil engineering program for undergraduate and graduate students. A unique feature of Ryerson is its program that allows undergraduate students in good academic standing to apply for the industrial internship program (IIP), which consists of 12-16 months of full-time paid study. Students are able to get real world experience, make contacts for after graduation and earn money to pay off educational debts. The school's 20 faculty members specialize in a variety of civil engineering areas.
