Took the accounting program here. A lot of professors are subpar and just read powerpoint slides and cannot explain things in detail because they clearly did not review the materials themselves. I ended up skipping the majority of classes of any professors like this because the lectures were useless and my 3 hours could be spent much more effectively. I ended up graduating with honours but it felt like half my classes had unmotivated professors who did nothing to contribute to your learning.

Next, when I was attending school there was no career guidance system set up and pretty much 0 support for helping you find employment. All we had in the accounting program was the Big4 recruiters who only recruit a handful of people from our program of hundreds. There were no medium/small accounting firm recruiters, no industry recruiters, and no government recruiters coming to the school making post graduation job hunting very bleak. The online job site Ryerson launched is full of sales job with very little jobs related to your degree.

All in all, I got my degree here but the school did not help open much doors. It's still a relatively new University so I hope that can change in the future. If you're looking for an good Accounting program I would highly suggest looking elsewhere. It's impossibly hard to land an accounting career job in Toronto without an excellent recruitment program. There are many accounting grads from U of T that are still struggling to find work in the area. Many have finished their first designation exam and still have to get their masters to be competitive. Your odds of getting an accounting designation tracked job before they do with just a Ryerons degree will be challenging. Just a fair warning if you decide to come here for accounting.
