Overview

As a student participating in the General Major in the Science BSc program offered at University of Lethbridge, you’re not limited to studying only within your three streams. As part of your liberal education, you will be required to take classes outside your major(s). This allows you to develop skills and experience in all three streams.

Key Facts

Where you compromise depth of focus in one area, you gain breadth of knowledge in a few key areas, thus increasing your flexibility. This multidisciplinary approach provides access to the "big picture" or the wider context of any subject area. Conversely, the courses you choose can enhance your focus and provide a cross-discipline perspective on one particular theme.

Students choosing a general major in the sciences select three disciplinary streams from the following:

Archaeology
Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Computer Science
Geography
Kinesiology
Mathematics
Neuroscience
Physics
Psychology

Possible Careers

The discipline and the three streams that you choose to focus on will help determine the occupations for which you are best qualified. Below are some examples of where a General Major in the Sciences may take you:

Geography, archaeology, and computer science could lead to work as a computer modeler for archaeological research.
An emphasis on kinesiology, psychology, and biology might lead to opportunities in sports medicine, occupational therapy, or drug research.
Mathematics, physics, and computer science could lead to entry-level aerospace occupations, engineering, or government research
