The broad teaching and learning objectives of the Monash Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) ask of students that they satisfy the requirements of study within the very wide range of disciplines in the humanities, social sciences and communications offered by the faculty, and of some disciplines offered by other faculties. Students are encouraged to grasp the opportunity provided by undertaking a Bachelor of Arts to develop their imaginations and gain a broad understanding of the new ideas and values with which they will be challenged.
Refer to `Entry requirements' under `Arts regulations and definitions' earlier in this section.
To fulfil the requirements of the Bachelor of Arts, students must
complete the following:
(a) an arts major (48 points)
(b) an arts minor (24 points)
(c) another first-year arts sequence (12 points)
(d) another 12 points of arts at first, second or third-year level
(e) a minimum of 36 points at third-year level (across the duration of the
degree)
(f) a total of 144 points.
Of the 144 points, 96 points must be in the structure outlined in steps (a) to (d), and the remaining 48 points may be taken from disciplines in the Faculty of Arts or from disciplines outside the faculty. This means that you can study a second major from the Arts faculty or a major (equivalent) from another faculty. Note that arts units include psychology. A major from a faculty other than Arts usually requires the permission of that faculty.
For information on majors and minors, refer to the `Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/. Hardcopies of this document are also available from faculty offices.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in South Africa currently offers major sequences in communications and media studies, geography and environmental science and psychology. From 2004, it is anticipated that a major in International studies will also be offered and honours programs in the preceding major areas will be available.
