The Master of Arts program at the University of Lethbridge is thesis-based and offers students in a wide range of disciplines the opportunity to earn a master’s degree by writing a thesis and successfully completing a limited number of courses. The creation of a thesis in any discipline calls for a range of skills that are central to the liberal education tradition, including analysis and synthesis of ideas, empirical investigations, the construction and articulation of arguments, and writing skills. The M.A. program prepares students to undertake Ph.D. programs in relevant disciplines as well as develop professional, transferable skills for a wide range of careers.
