The Dhillon School of Business incorporates the University of Lethbridge philosophy of providing a liberal education into its programs. The program encourages personal growth through the enhancement of knowledge about the individual and society and our political and economic environments, and through development of interpersonal abilities, habits of precise reasoning and confidence in professional skills.

The Faculty of Fine Arts incorporates the Departments of Art, Drama, Music, and New Media which include the Art Gallery, Music Conservatory and the University Theatres. The Faculty emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge and the development of analytical skills and imagination necessary to both create and respond with aesthetic intelligence to the fine arts in a global community. Small class sizes, an integrative approach which allows for cross-disciplinary fertilization and an intrinsic emphasis on the development of valuable job skills are distinguishing features. The Faculty provides opportunities for students to demonstrate their creative ability and skills through exhibitions and performances, acknowledging that audience exposure and the resulting feedback and criticism is essential to learning in all of the Fine Arts disciplines.

The Faculty of Health Sciences bases its statement of philosophy upon that of the University. Since our founding in 1980, the Faculty of Health Sciences has been dedicated to providing superb evidence informed health education that embraces complementary approaches, is creative in its application and unique in its perspective. Our student-centred approach to health education attracts students who want an educational experience unlike that offered by other health sciences schools.

The Faculty of Education incorporates in its programs the overall philosophy that underscores the University’s commitment to liberal education. Its programs reflect emphasis on individualization, flexibility, innovation, and experimentation. Students benefit from one of the most unique teacher training programs in the country. With 27 weeks of practical classroom experience, students receive more than twice the amount required for teacher certification in Alberta. Students will also be qualified to teach in both secondary and elementary classrooms, creating vast opportunities throughout their careers as educators.
