Central Queensland University's Bachelor of Arts - available on-campus and by distance education  - may be one of the most flexible and inviting degrees to study because it gives broad perspectives on the world and develops critical, analytical and problem-solving skills, plus students have the opportunity specialise or to pursue studies in a broad range of disciplines.

Graduates work in areas as diverse as advertising, copy-writing, education, geographical information systems, journalism, librarianship, marketing, research, nature and heritage conservation, politics, psychology, public relations, sociology, teaching, university lecturing and tutoring, vocational education, and welfare. They may also be employed in hospitals, courts and various government departments.

According to The Australian more than 200,000 people are enrolled in Arts programs - also known as Humanities and Social Sciences, about 150,000 of them at bachelor level.

The great thing about CQU's Bachelor of Arts is that you can specialise in up to 22 different areas from Aboriginal Studies through to Public Relations, Tourism, Film Environmental studies and more.

There are plenty of scholarships and awards available to students enrolling in the Bachelor of Arts. This year, a new $2000 scholarship is available to Bachelor of Arts (Welfare Studies) which was made possible through Anglicare-Central Queensland's generous support.

 "This scholarship is designed to get students involved in rural communities while they are still studying by encouraging students to complete their practicum in one of our rural offices," says Anglicare CEO for Central Queensland, Tony Stevenson.
