The Associate Degree in Arts is a two-year course, full time (or part-time equivalent), that provides you with opportunities to interpret human culture and behaviour from different perspectives and periods, to explore todays big questions and learn how to support the social and economic development of humanity, and/or to be immersed in creativity, performance and innovation. The award is designed to allow you to choose your path: it can be the first two-years of your Bachelor of Arts study, or you may like to enrol in this degree to pursue your passion and undertake two of the majors in the BA, or to extend your curiosity and try units from a number of disciplines. The Associate Degree in Arts gives you the flexibility to choose from subjects to build your knowledge and diversify your skills from a wide range of over twenty possible majors and minors in the Bachelor of Arts as well as many individual elective study options.The past is an extraordinary place. When you study history you will come to understand the whole world by understanding the long-term changes and continuities that shaped today. Historical knowledge is a vital component of cultural literacy, broadens your mind, fosters the capacity for empathy and equips you to be a global citizen. Historians are like very open-minded detectives: questioning, analysing and interpreting evidence from the past. When someone cries 'fake news', you will have the skills to find evidence from a range of sources to reconsider the claims of the present. You will also have the inexplicable joy of encountering the unexpected and the unknown. It has never been more urgent to understand the past so that we have the ability to make new futures.
