Program details

Overview

This program examines the past to explain how societies arrived at the present, covering thematic and regional courses spanning ancient, medieval, and modern history and the beliefs, values, and experiences of both leaders and ordinary people. It leads to a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts & Science, or a combined degree with education, law, or management, delivered on the Lethbridge campus with Fall and Winter intake. Eligible fourth-year students can complete an honours thesis, and the program offers co-operative education placements, since the university extends co-op to all arts and science majors, along with international exchange, applied study, and an optional minor. It suits students interested in analyzing historical change and evidence. The program develops written and oral communication skills alongside critical thinking and information-management abilities, and graduates pursue careers in museum work, government, diplomacy, public administration, law, education, and heritage management, as well as further graduate study.

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; 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).
