Create Your Own Path Management careers beyond the mainstream
Thinking about a degree in business but not sure you’re cut out for the corporate life? Have a project or business idea and need the skills to make it happen? Want to make a difference in the not-for-profit world? Consider a Management degree from the University of Lethbridge. At the Faculty of Management, we have the programs and opportunities that are in demand for a traditional business degree, and we can also help you explore your career options if you have a passion in another area. Many of our grads have taken their knowledge and skills and built careers in the arts, communications, public relations, humanitarianism, event planning, education, medicine, music and entertainment, to name just a few. You can enhance your educational experience and diversify your skills through opportunities such as Co-operative Education, international exchanges and the Integrated Management Experience, where students implement an annual fundraising project in support of a not-for-profit organization. The Faculty is also adding two brand-new combined degrees in Fall 2012. Students will be able to register for the Management and Health Sciences (Public Health) degrees or the Management and Fine Arts (New Media) degrees. Wherever your goals and aspirations may lead you, we can help you create your own path to get there. Contact us today to find out how to get started.
