Liberal Education

Liberal education is central to the philosophy program at the University of Lethbridge. A liberal education cultivates an attitude of freedom and enables critical exploration of ideas through exposure to a diverse cross-section of disciplinary approaches. It contributes to:

• academic success in the liberal arts,
• deepening your intellectual background, and
• developing a greater depth and breadth of knowledge across the humanities, sciences, and social sciences.

The aim of liberal education is to enable you to become an independent, well-rounded, and thoughtful individual who actively contributes to your community.
