Graduate Fees
Tuition for the Master of Professional Communication program is assessed by the term and not by the number of courses you take per term. Tuition is a yearly charge, which is broken into three equivalent payments for the three terms in a graduate academic calendar. For more information see Graduate Study fees. Refer to the MPC fee schedule.
Graduate Funding
Ryerson University provides financial support in the form of scholarships, awards and assistantships for as many full-time students as possible. Scholarships and awards are offered on a competitive basis, so the number awarded in any year varies, depending on academic performance.
There are a number of scholarships, fellowships and bursaries available to Ryerson graduate students from the federal and provincial governments, private foundations and other organizations.
For more information about internal and external funding opportunities see Graduate Studies Funding Information.
