Inspire and support student potential

We are committed to offering students an enriching experience with the rigour of a comprehensive academic and research university.

At both undergraduate and graduate levels, we will strive to advance students as knowledge makers and as global citizens with international and intercultural skills and knowledge.

All members of the university community can contribute to supporting student success and to creating a student experience that is healthy, safe, and well-rounded.

We will ensure that students remain central and provide them a personal and engaging learning environment, which strives to move beyond the classroom through experiential learning.

Our professional programs will excel in combining depth of knowledge with breadth of practical experience.

Society as a whole benefits from an educated populace. We will find ways for as many qualified individuals as possible to access to our educational programs.

Our two campuses will find ways to improve educational pathways locally, nationally, and internationally, so that obtaining a post-secondary education is as seamless as possible.

We are fully committed to the University of Lethbridge as a pan-Alberta public institution that offers its expertise, facilities, and services for the benefit of the communities it serves.
