Majors offered by the University of Lethbridge utilizing Imaging Science:
B.Sc. in Remote Sensing
This is a multidisciplinary major combining the Department of Geography and the Department of Physics, and the University of Lethbridge is the only institution to offer this degree in Canada. The program is structured to provide a firm theoretical, experimental, and applied background in remote sensing. The Multidisciplinary Major provides a strong basis for further study at the graduate level in related fields, while also providing training in areas of employment opportunity from GIS to astrophysics. Further details on potential career opportunities can be obtained from www.uleth.ca/artsci/geo/careers.html and www.uleth.ca/artsci/phy/careers.html.

B.Sc. in Physics
The University of Lethbridge Physics and Astronomy Department offers a comprehensive Physics major program. The foundation is built in the first two years by a study of mechanics, waves, electricity and magnetism, optics, thermal physics, and modern physics. In the third and fourth years, students deepen their understanding of the fundamentals, and study more advanced and specialized areas. Students have the benefit of relatively small classes and easy access to faculty. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the active research programs of the Faculty members through Independent Studies, Applied Studies, the Co-op program, and summer employment.
