The Canadian Graduate and Professional Student Survey (CGPSS) was conducted for the first time at Ryerson in February 2007. Initially developed for use in the United States, the survey has been adapted for Canadian use. All Ontario Universities that offer graduate programs participated in the survey in 2007. Results allow one to assess Ryerson's progress in the provision of a high quality graduate experience.
All graduate students at Ryerson were invited by email to participate in the online survey. A total of 1,084 students were contacted, and 601 responded, yielding a response rate of 55 percent, the highest in Canada. Among Ryerson's respondents, 530 students (88 percent) were enrolled in master's programs, and 71 students (12 percent) were enrolled in doctoral programs [taken from introduction]
