Our cities
The Dhillon School of Business offers programming on two campuses — Lethbridge and Calgary, Alberta.
The main campus, situated in Lethbridge is one of Canada’s sunniest cities with a population of just over 100,000 people. This breezy prairie city is home to beautiful coulee landscapes and is about a one-and-a-half-hour drive from the Rocky Mountains. Lethbridge also offers a vibrant arts and culture scene and world-class sports and recreation facilities. Most students at this campus study full-time during the day.
Dhillon School of Business’ second campus is located two hours north of Lethbridge in downtown Calgary, a young and vibrant city of over 1.5 million people. The Calgary Campus offers primarily evening and weekend classes, with students able to study either full or part-time towards their undergraduate or graduate degree.
Why study here?
Experience is the Dhillon difference.
Experiential learning is core to our academic programs. This includes opportunities for paid internships, co-operative education and work-integrated learning, applied and consulting courses, entrepreneurship, international field courses, applied research projects and community-based service learning.
Our Centre for Market Research and Teaching (the ‘trading room’), is one of the best equipped academic trading rooms in Canada, giving students professionally-linked and practical investment experience. Students have opportunities to manage a real portfolio of financial investments through our Student Managed Investment Fund.
Our co-curricular professional development program also helps students learn to become responsible citizens and ethical leaders. Through our Institute for Consumer and Social Well-being (ICSW), many students are taught by faculty who are leading conversations on corporate social responsibility and sustainability in business and management.
