Undergraduate Minors

Minors are linked to your calendar year and some minors may not be available for previous calendar years. Your calendar year will be the year of your most recent admission to the University of Lethbridge. Contact an Academic Advisor for more information (see Academic Advising).

Minors for Non-Education Programs

In keeping with the principles of liberal education, the University of Lethbridge offers Undergraduate minors in a variety of areas. Minors are available across Faculties and Schools and provide students in undergraduate programs the opportunity to pursue their interests in an area or areas distinct from their chosen major and degree program.

A minor is a defined set of courses, designed to provide depth in a particular discipline, study in an interdisciplinary area, or focus on a theme-related topic.

You may wish to consider declaring a minor for a variety of reasons: to enhance your depth of knowledge in a diverse area, to gain exposure to a range of perspectives, to build a foundation for an intended career, to pursue multiple passions, or to broaden your talents.

Minors for Education Programs (including Combined Degrees)

You may elect to complete an Education minor in addition to your chosen major and are eligible to receive an endorsement on your official academic transcripts upon completion of a minor. The minor must be a school subject, must not be the same subject as your major, and may not include courses that are counting in your major.

With the exception of the minor for Indigenous Education majors, minors include five non-Education courses and an appropriate Education methods course, usually selected from the Education 3700 series. The minor for Indigenous Education majors includes seven non-Education courses in a school subject and an appropriate Education methods course.

Seek advice from Student Program Services in the Faculty of Education regarding appropriate course choice and an appropriate Education course.
