Why ULethbridge?
University is an exciting time. It’s a time to pursue your interests, explore the world, make new friends and discover opportunities you never knew existed.
When you’re choosing a university, look for a place that both challenges and supports you. Look for a place that encourages you to be the best version of you. Look for a place where you can ask your professor questions. A place where you can participate in research & hands-on learning and take a range of classes that will not only count towards your degree but also inspire you.
In the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Lethbridge, we offer our students an unparalleled education — one where each and every student receives the best educational experience.
Students also benefit from the flexibility of an interdisciplinary education — you can take a range of courses and will explore different disciplines, examine contemporary issues, develop exceptional critical thinking skills and become a global citizen. And as a further enhancement to your degree, you will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on work experience through our Co-operative Education & Applied Studies programs, independent studies and international exchanges.
Through arrangements between the University of Lethbridge and professional schools at other universities, transfer programs have been established that will prepare students for admission to professional programs offered at other institutions.
Not only will you save money on things like tuition and your cost of living, but you’ll also have access to the professors teaching your classes — and writing your textbooks — and the opportunity to participate in research as an undergraduate student.
These programs are intended to give students priority access to courses satisfying the programs recommended by the professional schools. While these programs have been designed to transfer seamlessly to our partner universities, they are not exclusive and could be used to transfer to other professional schools. Students should seek advice from the school to which they intend to transfer if this is their intent.
