CSU's flexible Bachelor of Arts course combines generalist skills and specialist vocational training in a combination chosen by the individual student. The Bachelor of Arts offers a diverse range of majors and minors to provide a good grounding for a career in many fields. As a Bachelor of Arts graduate, you will be valued by employers for your ability to gather information, think critically, assess and interpret evidence, and communicate clearly. The course is organised on the basis of a combination of majors and minors and a number of free electives, giving you the opportunity to study subjects you are passionate about across a range of disciplines.

Bachelor of Arts graduates often combine their degree with a postgraduate qualification in, for example, teaching, journalism, librarianship, management, psychology or criminology, to prepare themselves for specialised employment. A Bachelor of Arts followed by CSU's graduate entry Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary) is a pathway to secondary teaching. Further study in the Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) is another option for students looking to become primary teachers. Less traditional combinations have also become common, for example, Bachelor of Arts graduates can now enter the accountancy profession through a postgraduate conversion course.
