Online Art History Degree :: Accredited Universities

Philosopher John Dewey once wrote, "Education is growth." The field of education is filled with interesting possibilities. Education provides critical analysis of contemporary educational theories, policies, and practices. Theoretical understanding and research skills enhance the way we analyse and bring information together.

Unlike the Bachelor of Education, which is a professional degree, the BA in Education deals with the academic study of Education. It evaluates the content and processes, institutions, contexts, and the setting through which people learn to be members of their societies and cultures. The Education major provides a wide variety of papers covering the main disciplinary approaches to the study of educational policies and practices.

Two papers, An Introduction to Social and Cultural Studies in Education and Human Development I, are compulsory for a major in Education. These two papers form the basis for advanced study in education in the areas of educational history, philosophy, psychology, advanced studies in human development, and education research methods.

CSU's Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) offers students a pathway to Visual Arts practice, in collaboration with TAFE. As future artists, designers, educators or arts managers, students can chose from a wide range of studio options including traditional fine art media such as painting and drawing through to multimedia, design and photography.

The Bachelor of Arts (Fine­­­ Arts) at CSU includes an articulation arrangement with TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, Wagga Wagga. Students wishing to undertake this pathway need to complete at least a Diploma in Visual Arts at TAFE before entering the program with CSU. Students who have previously completed the Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Fine Art also qualify to apply to the Fine Art program with CSU.

As part of the course, students will study drawing, painting and printmaking. They will have the opportunity to study subjects from illustration, photography, graphic design, or design subjects for theatre and television. To relate their studio work to the wider world of visual arts practice, students will also study art history and visual culture subjects.

Whichever pathway you choose, Fine Art is about making artworks to communicate ideas, lived experiences, thoughts or feelings and to understand your relationship as an artist to the wider field of contemporary arts practice in Australia and internationally.

Entry Requirements

TAFE Certificate IV in Fine Arts or equivalent, enrolled in diploma of fine arts, and proof of likelihood of success (previous studies, previous achievements/success)

After completion of the three-year degree program, students may undertake a fourth year of full-time study (or two years part-time) in Art History, English, History, Philosophy, Psychology or Sociology and graduate with Honours. Like the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) is available in both on campus and by distance education. A mid-year intake is also available.

The Honours program is available to applicants who have been awarded or who are eligible to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts from CSU and, in certain circumstances, to applicants who have a comparable degree from CSU or another institution.

Applicants will normally be required to have a major in their proposed Honours disciplinary area and to have attained grades of credit or better in the second and third level subjects of the major (or have what is deemed to be the equivalent from another institution).

Students qualified to enter the Honours program should consider its advantages, particularly the development of higher level analytical skills and enhanced expertise in research and communication. Completion of an Honours degree is also a prerequisite for admission to a postgraduate research degree.

Entry Requirements

Completion of an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) accredited undergraduate psychology course within the previous five years

A Grade Point Average of 6.0 or better in the core psychology level 2 and 3 subjects

The successful completion of PSY301 Advanced Research Methods in Psychology
