Ryerson Business; which program to accept?

[Balanar08]

Please no bashing here. I know its Ryerson

So I got accepted to all three of my choices.

Uoit - Commerce (Honours)
Ryerson - Retail Management
Ryerson - Business Technology Management (Co-op optional)

I'm thinking which one should I accept? Opinions? Leaning towards Ryerson more since it's in Toronto and that I dont have to drive all the way to Oshawa if I were to go to Uoit. But which Ryerson course is better?

Thanks

Both arent that great from what I hear. I would go with the Rye's itm that would give you co op if your planning to do itec. Most universities with itec programs have co/op and internships for itec anyway- so its not like rye's is any special. However if it was uoit's commerce v. ryerson's commerce i would go with Uoit's commerce instead. In all depends what your planning to major in.

Of the three I'd recommend the BTM program at Ryerson.

Retail management is pretty useless IMO.

UOIT's management program ranks behind Ryerson's. I think you'd be better of transferring from the BTM program to management if that's what you'd like to study. Or look into transferring to a higher tiered b-school if you plan to study business management (schulich if GTA, or possibly UTSC/rotman). You can transfer in during your second year if you keep up a A average, so that's an option as well.

UOIT is a no, regardless of what people say. It's last, always.

Retail Management is an interesting program I have heard, but its heavily focused on literally, retail ONLY.. and you dab in fashion courses I think, from my understanding?

ITM would be my choice to you. The basic downfall of Ryerson's general business management is the lack of co-op for students. At other universities they offer co-op which extremely helps students get their foot in the door. I think having the co-op ITM would be the best bet, for future career choices.

Honestly, I'd say go to Ryerson and do whichever program you prefer. Do extracurricular activities and form a name for yourself. Be a TA/ or RA and get as much experience as possible.
The program isn't top notch but Ryerson offers many ways to rise above 99% of the people within your program if you work for it.

The ITM placement or BTM placement is a plus as well. Just don't slack in first year and apply right away for it.
Enjoy!

Well, all your offers have different concentrations. Definitely, Ryerson over UOIT though. If you're interested in technology, then go into BTM. Retail is kind of useless but if you wanted to, you could always transfer into Business Management afterwards.

Good choice! I am in the BTM program and I am sure you'll like it. If not you can always switch. Welcome aboard!

I got rejected from Schulich. My options are to take BAS from York or Ryerson's BTM?

u can try to kill york BAS and transfer into schulich after first year

All three are pretty different.
Which one do you find more interest in?

If it were me, I'd skip the retail management program as it seems pretty useless.

BTM seems good because it has the co-op option.
