The best place to discover what you’re passionate about is in the classroom – wherever that may be. At the U of L students study a variety of subjects. You’ll find history buffs mixing watercolours, drama majors studying marketing techniques and education students working in neuroscience labs. This is part of our liberal education philosophy and has been core to the U of L since our founding in 1967. Why? Because it enables our students to become critical thinkers and problem solvers who can adapt to change. What does that mean for you? By exploring a variety of subjects, you’ll discover what you’re passionate about and gain the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in a career you’ll love. And with an average class size of just 32 students (after first year), your classes will provide a personal learning environment where you get to know your professors and classmates.
Although most classes don’t take place outside, fine arts and Native American Studies professor Tanya Harnett is known for taking her students out of the traditional classroom to be inspired by their surroundings.

We’re in Calgary and Edmonton, too. We know not all students come to university right from high school. We also understand that it can be difficult to put life on pause to further your education. Our Calgary and Edmonton campuses offer classes on evenings and weekends, allowing you to work full time while you earn the credentials you need to advance your career.
Flexibility matters Whether you’re interested in attending one of our campuses full time or want to take classes at all three, our flexible delivery options will help you reach your goals. And at the U of L, flexibility doesn’t mean online. Our face-to-face instruction will provide you with a rich and comprehensive educational experience.
Who you learn from makes a difference Boardroom by day. Classroom by night. Your professors are industry leaders, and they bring relevant, realworld experience into your classroom.
Who you study with matters, too Classes on the Calgary and Edmonton campuses are small – on average, 25 students per class – enabling you to interact with your professors and your classmates in a supportive, goal-oriented environment. Everyone learns differently and our instructors are committed to helping each of our students thrive. You will also experience the business world and can gain international experiences through our co-operative education program, international exchanges and work-study programs.
Further your education. Advance your career. At our Calgary or Edmonton campuses, you’ll gain a broad understanding of the issues facing organizations today. You’ll learn to be a leader. You’ll be equipped to advance your career and increase your earning potential. And you’ll be well prepared for a successful future in domestic and international businesses, government or not-for-profit organizations. When you graduate, not only will you have the confidence to succeed in whatever you do, you will also have a degree that can take you anywhere – whether that means pursuing further education or establishing a professional career.

Larissa Featherstone (BMgt ’10) Business Analysis Professional IT Process
“The U of L offers outstanding flexibility in its management programming. I was able to attend the Lethbridge campus and then wrap up my final year at the Calgary Campus, gaining professional experience while I worked full time and attended classes at night.”
“The small class sizes and combination of full-time and part-time students, coupled with the opportunity to gain work experience through interesting co-op placements, made the U of L Edmonton campus a very relevant and dynamic learning environment.”

Student Housing The right residence for you – your home away from home. On-campus housing Staying in Campus Housing is a great way to get to know people and get involved in activities with the Organization of Residence Students (ORS) or just by hanging out in the numerous common areas watching TV or playing games. The University of Lethbridge offers a wide range of on-campus living options, from single rooms to shared apartments. First-year students entering straight from high school can apply online to stay in the University Hall (UHall) traditional-style dorms or in one-, two-, four- or six-bedroom apartments in Kainai House. These are fully furnished rooms, so expect to find a bed, a desk and a place to hang your clothes. Estimated living costs Residence Style

No matter where you choose to live, you’re never more than a 15-minute drive from campus.

One of the benefits of living in a city divided by a river is that the entire west side, where the U of L is located, features extensive offcampus housing close to campus. Since the majority of our students live on the west side, it’s practically an extension of residence. When you’re out and about you’re bound to run into other students (or even your professors) at the local grocery store, restaurant or park.
