In addition to their arts discipline major and minor, students undertaking the Bachelor of Arts can normally study another major from a non-arts discipline. The faculties offering disciplines and units that are of interest to arts students include Art and Design, Business and Economics, Information Technology, and Science. Students should refer to individual faculty sections in this handbook to obtain detailed information on the choices available and consult with the faculty that owns particular units regarding issues to do with any unit prerequisites or quotas.
The Faculty of Arts offers double degree programs with most other faculties
of the university. These degrees are of particular interest to students who
wish to pursue disciplines from different faculties.
Arts students can take units from the following faculties without requesting
any special permission from the teaching faculty (note that you must still meet
any stated prerequisites or corequisites).

However, the Faculty of Information Technology does advise that all students
seek course advice from them as to the suitability of certain units of study.

The Faculty of Science offers a wide range of units in disciplines of interest
to arts students. Disciplines offered by the Faculty of Science that may be
taken without special permission include astronomy, atmospheric science,
biological sciences, chemistry, earth sciences, mathematics and statistics, and
physics.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers arts students units across a broad range of theoretical and applied mathematics, including mathematical statistics. Some units have no prerequisite studies of mathematics at VCE level. The applied statistics sequence has been developed to meet the needs of students studying in various areas such as psychology, sociology, geography and environmental science and others for which skills in quantitative analysis of data are required. The units emphasise practical applications and incorporate the use of statistical computing packages, ie SPSS, BMDP, Minitab etc. No computing knowledge is assumed of students prior to entry into first year.
Refer to the Faculty of Science section later in this handbook for further details.
