Program aim

The Bachelor of Arts is a multidisciplinary degree program providing opportunities to pursue studies in the broad discipline areas of humanities and the social sciences. Students are able to combine social science and humanities disciplines in their core studies with professionally-based elective studies. The flexible structure of the Bachelor of Arts gives graduates broader perspectives on the contemporary world and is designed to develop critical, analytical and problem-solving skills.

Diploma of Arts

If for some reason a student is unable to complete the full Bachelor of Arts they can exit with a Diploma of Arts. To be eligible you must have successfully completed eight courses or 48 credit points within the Bachelor of Arts. Four of the eight courses or 24 credit points must come from the Core Studies Plans of the BA. The other four can be electives chosen from any other program at CQU, or from credit for previous studies. Students must satisfy the normal prerequisites that apply to their courses.

There is no entry to this program. Students must enrol in the Bachelor of Arts and formally apply to graduate with a Diploma of Arts.

Career options

Advertising, arts administration, book editing, copywriting, desk-top publishing, geographer, historian, journalist, librarian, research, the media, nature and heritage conservation, news editing, personnel, politics, public relations, radio, teaching, television, welfare and many more.

Program structure

To graduate with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, students must have completed 24 courses (144 units of credit) as outlined below:

Option A: Core BA

Option B: BA with professional plan

Students must take the following:

Option C: Elective BA

* For Options A, B and C, students must take no more than 10 Level 1 courses out of the 24 courses.

* For Options A, B and C, students must meet the prerequisites and corequisites for each course.

What is a core studies plan?

A plan is made up of 6 courses (36 units of credit) from the same discipline. At least four of these six must be at Advanced level. Most students complete two Level 1 and four Advanced courses, although some complete one Level 1 and five Advanced. In some plans, both Level 1 courses are required to be completed. For example, for the Welfare Studies Plan students must complete both the Level 1 courses Law and Welfare of Society A and B before going on to the Advanced courses in that plan (check the Course Availability in the Handbook).

What is a core studies elective?

Core Studies Electives are courses that are not listed in your chosen Core Studies Plans but are taken from other Core Studies Plans in the Bachelor of Arts.

What is a general elective?

A General Elective is a course that is not part of any Core Studies Plan in the Bachelor of Arts but is counted towards your overall degree program. General Electives can be chosen from any other degree program in the University (check Course Availability for prerequisites which must be met), or under certain conditions, from degree programs at other universities (cross-institutional studies). Up to eight general electives (48 units of credit) can be included in your Bachelor of Arts.

Full-time students

The usual full-time enrolment in the Bachelor of Arts is four courses in Term 1 and four courses in Term 2. Eight courses in total for the year. Beginning students should enrol in Level 1 courses only. Four out of the eight courses must be taken from the Core Studies Plans below.

Part-time students
