Bachelor of Management - Accounting

Accountants do far more than "number crunching". Accountants are central to the operations and strategies of all types of organizations. They require integrity and the ability to think critically, communicate, and interact with others effectively. Accounting involves measuring, analyzing, and reporting on factors that affect organizational performance, resources, and risk. Accounting information is the foundation of organizational short and long-term success.

We are training you to be accountants from “day one” - not bookkeepers. In addition to the required technical skills, we help students learn to address a broad range of business problems. Classes are small, allowing for one-on-one interaction with professors, who have professional accounting backgrounds, PhDs in accounting, or both. This allows students to acquire and practice the skills needed for success, including writing, presenting, using professional tools, and case analysis.

Bachelor of Arts - Urban and Regional Studies

Urban & Regional Studies (URS) delves into the physical, social, economic and political factors that shape our cities. It looks at the role of planning to manage dynamic forces of change such as immigration, global warming, aging populations, energy conservation, congestion, urban forests, homelessness and smog, to name just a few.

As a URS student at the University of Lethbridge, you will learn to approach contemporary development challenges from various frames of reference. Issues include the evolving social, ethnic and architectural character of urban neighbourhoods, the decline of agricultural service centres in the west or the governance of urban sprawl.

This multidisciplinary major will provide you with a broad range of conceptual and practical tools to understand cities and regions. URS is housed in the Department of Geography, but as a multidisciplinary major, the program includes courses outside the department’s offerings, such as anthropology, economics, political science, sociology and statistics.

The knowledge and experience you gain in the URS program will provide an exceptional stepping stone, whether you choose to continue your studies to the master’s or doctoral level or to enter the working world. Either way, you will have the educational background to play an important role in providing an understanding of, and solutions for, some of our most pressing urban and regional concerns.
