Program details
Overview
This program examines past human cultures and societies through the analysis of material remains, combined with the study of geography, and is offered as either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science over a 40-course degree. The BA track approaches the subject through cultural perspectives alongside history and anthropology, while the BSc track emphasizes physical geography, including geomorphology, geology, and geographic information systems, along with scientific analysis of artifacts; an optional GIS concentration is available. Delivered on the Lethbridge campus, which sits near the Oldman River coulees within reach of the Rocky Mountains, the program offers Fall and Winter intake, co-operative education placements, an honours thesis option in fourth year, and access to a dedicated GIS and remote-sensing lab along with rock, fossil, and aerial-photograph collections. It suits students drawn to fieldwork and material-culture analysis, and prepares graduates for roles such as archaeological consultant, museum curator, and cultural resource manager, as well as further study in fields including law and education.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: University of Lethbridge admits this program directly from Canadian high school on the Faculty of Arts & Science's standard scale: five distinct senior-year courses, one of them a language-arts course, with a minimum blended average of 65% across all five. No further subject-specific course is mandated beyond the general scale for this Bachelor of Arts route; the three non-English courses are drawn from the province's approved list. Applicants without a Canadian high school credential are assessed on the same academic scale against their home-country credential equivalencies through the international admissions office (general admission requirements). Applicants whose first language is not English must meet uLethbridge's English Language Proficiency requirement, most commonly through Alberta English Language Arts 30-1 (or equivalent) with a minimum blended grade of 75%, three consecutive years of full-time secondary study in English, or an approved test: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (min. 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (min. 20 per section), Duolingo English Test 120 overall (min. 110 per subscore), PTE Academic 61 overall (min. 60 per part), CAEL 70 overall (min. 60 per component), or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 (min. 176 per subscore).
