Online Arts Psychology 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.

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

Rehabilitation is a process of active change by which individuals who have become debilitated through disease or injury acquire the knowledge and skills needed for optimal physical, psychological, and social function.

A minor in Rehabilitation Studies gives a broad general knowledge of the purpose, practice, and philosophy of rehabilitation. A Rehabilitation Studies minor would fit well with a number of BA majors, such as Psychology, Education, Sociology, or Social Policy.
