The University of Lethbridge is a non-denominational university established in 1967 at Lethbridge, Alberta. In 1968, the University awarded its first undergraduate degrees in the liberal arts.
The architect Arthur Erickson designed University Hall which has received international acclaim for its architectural originality and functional design. The University Hall opened in 1971.
In 1996, the University of Lethbridge opened campuses in Calgary and Edmonton.
On December 17, 2009, Mike Mahon, the dean of the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta was named the next president of the University of Lethbridge. His term began on July 1, 2010.
Both graduate and undergraduate programmes are offered.
In 2004, the University of Lethbridge granted their first doctoral degrees. Lisa Thomson and Robbin Gibb both graduated with doctoral degrees in Neuroscience. Earlier in the year, the Alberta government approved the expansion of the fledgling Ph.D. program to include degrees in five new areas: bio-molecular science; biosystems and biodiversity; earth, space and physical science; evolution and behaviour; and theoretical and computational science. The university is home to the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience, a world-class facility where Canada’s leading behavioural neuroscience group sheds light on the relationships between brain and behaviour.
