Course outline

As a Bachelor of Arts student, you will develop skills in understanding the world and its peoples, society and culture. Arts students develop key skills in interpersonal communication; creativity, research and problem solving. Subject diversity makes this course attractive to students seeking a liberal arts education with flexibility to study the areas you enjoy while building skills as a foundation for employment or further specialised study. You can choose to undertake two majors, or a major and two minors plus a range of electives, tailoring the degree to suit your goals. Minors are available in each of the majors, and in the disciplines of communication, creative writing, and geography. Students are encouraged to take advantage of study opportunities at our campus in Rome or other overseas locations and to structure their individual academic programs to reflect their interests and career aspirations.
