Program details

Overview

The General Major in the Social Sciences at the University of Lethbridge allows students to combine three disciplinary streams instead of completing a single-subject major. Streams are drawn from anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, Indigenous studies, kinesiology, political science, psychology, sociology, and women & gender studies, giving students breadth across several fields. The degree leads to a Bachelor of Arts and can be combined with other credentials, including the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education and the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Management. The program is designed for students who want increased flexibility rather than the depth of a single-discipline major. It is delivered on-campus at the Lethbridge campus, with admission in the Fall and Winter terms.
