Creative Arts Minor Studies
Creative Arts offers a range of minor studies open to all undergraduate students provided they meet pre-requisites where required. Students from other faculties are encouraged to enrol in Creative Arts minor studies to satisfy the elective requirements of their course, where appropriate.
Each minor study is comprised of 24 credit points.
For students in the Bachelor of Creative Arts, undertaking a minor study is an opportunity to undertake a multidisciplinary course of study. Please note that students may not undertake a major and minor study in the same discipline. Subjects taken as part of a major or minor cannot be cross-counted into any other major or minor.
Minor studies are recorded on a student’s academic transcript. Students are reminded that to have a minor study recorded they need to declare their minor study by submitting an Application to Declare or Change Intended Major/Minor.
Creative Arts offers minor studies in the following areas:
