For the Bachelor of Arts and Science, students must complete two majors: an Arts major, and a Science major. History History as an academic discipline examines the past to explain how society got to where it is today.

Historians work to sharpen the collective memory of society. History students will learn about great leaders of the past and what ordinary people believed and valued — how they lived, worshiped, worked, fought and died. Students will have the opportunity to take thematic and regional courses in ancient, medieval and modern history from the geographic areas that shaped the world today. The University is confident that their courses, as well as their diverse areas of expertise, will offer something of interest to everyone studying history at University of Lethbridge. Computer Science Computer science is the study of algorithms, data structures and their applications in designing new and efficient solutions to industrial, technological, environmental or social problems. Students will learn to tackle difficult problems using a variety of high-tech tools and approaches, and effectively communicate their expertise to others by coupling their technical learning with a solid grounding in liberal education.
