The
Faculty of Arts has a commitment to excellence in education. With this in mind,
the faculty offers students in the Deans Scholars Program - Arts the
opportunity to plan, in consultation with an adviser, personalised courses that
differ in academic merit and scope from the normal Bachelor of Arts degree
program. Students selected as deans scholars in arts will be eligible to choose
the campus at which they wish to undertake their Bachelor of Arts program. The
Deans Scholars Program applies only to the Bachelor of Arts. Specialised
degrees, double degrees or double awards are not included in the program.
Deans scholars in arts who qualified for an award in 2004 and studied full-time
received $3000 for that year (pro rata for part-time students). At the time of
printing, the 2005 amount had not been finalised; students should contact the
faculty for further details. The scholarship is renewable for each year of the
course, subject to satisfactory academic performance (normally a distinction
grade average).
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/.
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).
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 students 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.
Note that no more than 10 units (60 points) are to be completed at a first-year
level. Students have a maximum of eight years to complete this course.
The performance of deans scholars in arts will be evaluated at the end of each year. Students are expected to continue achieving at the same high level at which they entered the program (normally distinction level). Students who are unable to maintain the required level of performance in each year may forfeit their Deans Scholars Award.
