Description
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.
Participants in this program receive a scholarship which is renewable for each year of the course, subject to satisfactory academic performance (normally a distinction grade average).
Course progression requirements
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.
Objectives
Structure
Students complete a compulsory arts major and arts minor, with additional studies chosen from a variety of arts disciplines.
Areas of study
For information on majors and minors, refer to the 'Areas of study' section in this Handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/arts-ug-areas-of-study.html.
Requirements
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.) additional units to make up a total of 144 points.
No more than 10 units (60 points) are to be completed at a first-year level.
Students must complete 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. A major from a faculty other than Arts usually requires the permission of that faculty.
* Including psychology units.
Award(s) received on completion *
* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.
