Our University’s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. We are located on traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory. We honour the Blackfoot people and their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Indigenous Peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community.
ULETHBRIDGE BY THE NUMBERS
(SEPTEMBER 2023)
STUDENTS TO FACULTY
Source: Latest Alberta Graduate Outcomes Survey
All Bachelor of Management (BMgt) degree programs at ULethbridge will be changing to Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree programs.
The decision to change was in response to an evolving business landscape and to better reflect the nature of the curriculum.
The new combined Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) / Bachelor of Health Sciences (Addictions Counselling) program is a great option for students interested in exploring a human approach to psychology and a scientific approach to addictions counselling. In addition to our general admission requirements, students must also have Biology 30 and Mathematics 30-1 or Mathematics 30-2 to apply.
ULethbridge has partnered with Bond University on two dual degree programs. Students will take two years of either Bachelor of Arts (BA) (select majors) or a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) —formerly Bachelor of Management — at ULethbridge and then apply to the two-year Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in Canadian Law at Bond University. At the end of the 54-course program, students will graduate with either a BA or BBA and LLB degrees.
The University of Calgary and University of Lethbridge are working in partnership to recruit and train medical students, who will then build lives and practice outside of major city centres. Students from southern Alberta who are enrolled in medicine at UCalgary, will complete most of their education and training at ULethbridge.
The first cohort of students will begin classes at ULethbridge in July 2026.
Dual credit is an opportunity for students in high school to take university entry-level courses while still attending high school. It introduces students to the rigours of postsecondary to ease the transition to university life and eventually to the workplace. Students will earn the usual five credits for a high school course and a three-credit course from ULethbridge. Dual credit is now searchable at: transferalberta.alberta.ca
This new initiative will help us give each incoming student personalized guidance and support. The voluntary quiz will highlight each student’s areas for growth and connect them with ULethbridge services to help them succeed.
Students who take the quiz and participate in StartSmart programming are statistically more successful at ULethbridge.
The Dhillon School of Business now offers a diploma in IGBM. It is one of only a few Indigenous business diplomas in Canada, as well as the first diploma in the country focusing on both Indigenous business and governance.
ULethbridge/Bow Valley College Integrated Pathway Students can complete a ULethbridge Bachelor of Business Administration (General Management) degree and BVC Business Administration Diploma (Supply Chain Management) in four years. Students will take classes simultaneously through both institutions while following a shared curriculum for both credentials.
As part of DSB Edge, students have a built-in community that enhances academic performance and social success. They’ll make friends, find study partners, develop resilience, and fine-tune their interpersonal skills. Students get exclusive access to a special DSB Edge student orientation, leadership development opportunities, networking events and other student activities. Most importantly, they will be a part of a tight-knit community of businessminded students.
Students can get a jump-start on the term by completing a liberal education course for credit, making friends and learning about ULethbridge opportunities all before the start of the Fall 2025 term. It promotes success and eases the transition from high school to university. Students also learn to articulate the value and impact of their experiences to future employers and highlight the range of skills developed during their degrees.

The Indigenous Student Success Certificate (ISSC) is a first-year credit program that provides Indigenous students who do not meet the general requirements of the ULethbridge an opportunity to enter into, and succeed at, university. This program provides a solid foundation of core skills in a supportive cohort environment that attends to Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Learning.
It is also open to Indigenous students returning to university after an absence and, as space allows, to those who qualify for general admission but want the supports provided by the cohort.
Successful completion of the ISSC allows students to enter into most ULethbridge programs. Admission is on a case-by-case basis. For more information, contact ISSC Office at 403-329-2635.
Regardless of their citizenship or residency, home school applicants will be considered according to the curriculum they followed. For example, a home school applicant who studied Alberta curriculum is expected to meet the requirements of an Alberta high school applicant. The applicant should challenge the departmental examinations in courses where such examinations exist to provide grades in the subjects challenged. The applicant would be considered for admission when they present final grades in five distinct subjects.
An applicant who presents both a high school diploma
and appropriate, satisfactory standardized test scores, either ACT or both SAT I and II, will be considered for general admission.
Applicants who are a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident, age 21 years or older, and who do not meet current admission requirements of any other admission route may be considered for Mature Student admission.
Applicants who have completed high school requirements with an admission average of at least 60%, or have a minimum grade of 65% in English 30-1 or 30-2 and passing grades in two other 30-level courses will be considered for admission. For applicants who have not completed high school requirements, a combination of academic credentials, standardized test scores, and evidence of life experiences may be considered.
The applicant is assessed for potential post-secondary success, which is the standard of admission for this route. A resume and letter of intent are required for admission purposes. Additional advice is available from Admissions.
Standardized test admission route applicants who present acceptable ACT (American College Testing) or SAT (Scholastic Academic Test) scores will be considered for general admission. In the case of the SAT written prior to March 2016, the applicant must present complete SAT (Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing) and
three additional SAT Subject Test scores. In the case of the SAT written after March 2016, a minimum combined EvidenceBased Reading and Writing plus Math (ERW+M) score of 1040 is required. In the case of the ACT, a composite score of 20 is required. Applicants are also required to meet program-specific admission requirements and therefore will be required to submit their high school transcript for review.
Dual admission is a specific transfer admission route available for some degree programs open to students enrolled in a dual admission partner institution. Dual admission applicants must meet all general admission and program-specific admission requirements in effect at the time of application.
The Certificate in Arts and Science is a gateway for students to complete a university credential. To apply, students need a passing grade in English Language Arts 30-1 (or an equivalent), or they can access it through the PostSecondary Admission Route. Students can test the waters of post-secondary education on a part-time or full-time basis, choosing either an arts or science stream. At the completion of this ten-course program, they can apply to ladder their certificate into a degree.
Applicants who have completed six or more transferable term courses at one or more post-secondary institutions will be considered as Post-Secondary applicants.
To qualify for general admission, Post-Secondary applicants must have an admission average of at least 2.0 on the ULethbridge 4.0 GPA scale, calculated on all transferable courses.
Satisfactory completion of certain Alberta high school courses or equivalents is required for admission to some majors. See High School Admission Requirements by Program for quota and specialized program admission requirements.
Upon admission, students are assigned transfer credit on a course-by-course basis for eligible post-secondary work. Transfer of credit may serve to reduce the number of courses which must be completed at ULethbridge in order to complete a program of studies.
For detailed information on courseby-course transfer, including course equivalencies, see ulethbridge.ca/ross/transferresources
Refer to Programs Available to Post-Secondary Students online: ulethbridge.ca/ross/admissions/ undergrad/transfer
Also, see Admission in the current Calendar online: ulethbridge.ca/sites/ross/ calendar/ug
Applicants presenting applied or technology degrees from recognized colleges or technical institutes in Canada with GPAs of 2.0 or higher on the ULethbridge 4.0 GPA scale will be considered for admission to first degree, undergraduate non-quota programs. These applicants will be considered for admission to quota programs according to their qualifications.
Transfer credit will be awarded according to regular ULethbridge procedures and policies, including those pertaining to residency, major and time limits.
Applied and technology degrees are not normally considered to be a basis of admission for second degree or graduate studies programs.
Applicants who have completed, with satisfactory grades, one or more academic degrees from a recognized university, will be considered for admission to another degree program at ULethbridge. The declared ULethbridge program/major must be dissimilar from any degree already completed. Second degree program requirements are individualized for each student. Courses completed during a student’s first degree, as well as those completed after, may affect the program content and/or reduce the number of courses required to complete subsequent degrees. Please contact an academic advisor in the appropriate Faculty or School for more information.
Prior to registration, all undergraduate students must demonstrate English language proficiency sufficient to meet the demands of classroom instruction, written assignments and participation in tutorials and discussions, regardless of their citizenship status or country of origin. There are two types of English requirements that apply to applicants to ULethbridge:
1. English Language Proficiency (ELP): Admission requirement for all applicants to undergraduate programs
2. Spoken English Language Proficiency (SELP): Admission requirement for applicants to programs offered by the Faculty of Health Sciences
English Language Proficiency (ELP) must be presented prior to admission and may be shown in a number of ways, including:
• Alberta English Language Arts 30-1 or equivalent, with a minimum final (blended) grade of 75 per cent; a grade of 5 or higher IB Higher or Standardlevel English; a grade of 4 or higher AP English; a grade of B or higher in GCSE A/S-level or A-level English
• Successful completion of a minimum three years of full-time academic study in English at a secondary school, or two years of full-time academic study in
English at a post-secondary institution in Canada or another country where English is recognized as the primary language. English as a Second Language of study is not considered academic.
• Successful completion of the Advanced Level of ULethbridge’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program
• A score of at least 86 on the iBT, with scores of at least 20 on each of Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing on the most recent official TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or TOEFL iBT Home Edition score, taken within the last two years.
• Most recent official Academic IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or IELTS online score, taken within the last two years, with an overall score of at least 6.5 and at least 6.0 in each band
• Duolingo, minimum score 120 with a minimum score of 105 in each of Literacy, Comprehension, and Conversation, and a minimum score of 100 in Production.
