COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts provides students with an integrated understanding of the influences which have shaped the development of human culture, especially Western culture. Students learn invaluable skills such as analysis, synthesis and critical thinking, as well as proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and developing rational arguments.
Campion’s undergraduate degree centres on a core curriculum covering history, literature, philosophy, theology and science. As the course develops over three years, each of the core curriculum units is taught in such a way that the essential links between them are laid bare and become subject to analysis and critique. In this way, the student is led into a deeper and more incisive understanding of the world in which we live and the necessary interconnectedness of human, social, political and cultural enterprise.
Outcomes
The expected educational outcomes of this degree are reflected in the following Graduate Attributes:
The capacity to think logically, to critically analyse situations and find responsible solutions to problems;
an advanced understanding of the way society has developed and the critical strands of human thinking and activity which have shaped and continue to shape Western culture;
an integrated grasp of reality which will serve as the basis of lifelong learning;
the ability to adapt to a wide variety of employment and career opportunities because of enhanced and developed generic attitudes such as independence of thought, critical evaluation, research abilities, and communication skills;
