Bachelor of Arts

Learn from world-class lecturers and experience small, friendly classes and personalised support.

Study in JCU Flex mode, which means you're free to decide, week to week, how you learn in each subject. So, regardless of whether you’re enrolled as an internal (on-campus) or external (online) student, you have the flexibility to engage face-to-face on campus, or online, or you can study independently. And you can choose a mix of the three that suits you. Learn more about JCU Flex.

Depending on your chosen major, you may also have the opportunity to experience an overseas field trip through JCU Global Experience programs.

This three-year, full-time degree is highly flexible and allows you to explore areas of study that focus on your strengths while giving you opportunity to diversify. The course is also available part-time.

You will study a selection of core subjects and your choice of up to two majors, giving you in-depth knowledge and expertise in each study area.

The JCU Bachelor of Arts offers 11 majors to choose from. Not all majors are available at every campus. The handbook provides detail about the subjects you can study within each major.
