university of lethbridge

University of Lethbridge is a university located in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. It was founded in 1967. The faculty has approximately 7,300 students. The President of the University is Dr. William Cade. Both graduate and undergraduate programmes are offered. The university hall was designed by architect Arthur Erickson. U of L is also a member of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport with their team, the Pronghorns. 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. It has been joked that the University Hall was designed in such a way that, had the University failed, it could be converted to a prison facillity. When asked about the possiblity of such a failsafe plan the architect Arthur Erickson replied "Nonsense; to consider that I would design an educational facility like a prison is a romantic notion of our detractors!"
