BA/BS in Women and Gender Studies

Women and Gender Studies at the University of Lethbridge examines the historical and contemporary conditions of women and men in society using feminist theory and research methodologies. The programme is offered as a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts & Science, or a combined Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Management. Students who qualify by grade point average may pursue an honours thesis in their fourth year. The curriculum develops critical, analytical, and research skills through coursework spanning feminist theory, gender, and society. Students can supplement classroom study with co-operative education placements, international exchange terms, and applied studies opportunities, applying course material in professional or community settings. Graduates gain communication and analytical abilities suited to careers in policy, advocacy, education, social services, and further graduate study. Admission requirements vary by province of secondary schooling, with Alberta applicants needing English Language Arts 30-1 plus additional approved courses at the required grade average. The programme runs on the Fall and Winter intake cycle.
