Supervisors

Prior to admittance into a graduate degree, you will need to find a supervisor willing to mentor and challenge you through the course of your degree. The philosophy department at the University of Lethbridge offers supervision for Master's degrees, but not for Ph.D. degrees.

Below is a list of professors who supervise graduate students. If you are interested in pursuing a Master's degree with one of them, please send them an email detailing your academic history, performance and interests and, if you wish, a writing sample.
