[edit] History

The University was founded in 1967. Architect Arthur Erickson designed University Hall, and it opened in 1971.

In 1996, the University of Lethbridge opened campuses in Calgary and Edmonton.

[edit] Academics

Both graduate and undergraduate programmes are offered.

In 2004, the University of Lethbridge granted their first doctoral degrees. Lisa Thomson and Robbin Gibb both graduated with doctoral degrees in Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience. Earlier in the year, the Alberta government approved the expansion of the fledgling Ph.D. program to include degrees in five new areas: bio-molecular science; biosystems and biodiversity; earth, space and physical science; evolution and behaviour; and theoretical and computational science.

[edit] Research

The university has strong research programs and is nationally recognized in the sciences.[citation needed] It pursues collaborative research with two federal agriculture research centers in Lethbridge. Faculty members participate in a number of national networked centres of excellence and other collaborations in a wide range of fields. The university’s infrastructure in the sciences and information technology is accessible to undergraduate students.

[edit] The University of Lethbridge Art Gallery

The University of Lethbridge Art Gallery has one of the largest collections in Canada of 19th and 20th century Canadian, American and European art, with over 13,000 pieces including drawing, print making, painting, photography, sculpture and installation.

The previous director, Jeffrey Spalding, spearheaded this nationally renowned art collection. Josephine Mills was appointed Director/Curator of the Art Gallery in 2001 and maintains a strong exhibition, publication and research program.

The collection quickly outgrew available archiving and storage space, so a new building was completed in 1999 to house large works. Additional renovations were made in 2000 and 2003 to update a study area for the collection and an incoming/outgoing art handling area.

In 2006 a comprehensive registration database was made available online of the University of Lethbridge collections.reference: http://www.uleth.ca/artgallery/
