Faculty Structure
The Faculty of Arts was founded in 1990 following the formation of Charles Sturt University. It is one of four Faculties of the University.
The Faculty offers a wide range of courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels on campus and by distance education. Central to the life of the Faculty and its programs is interaction between the disciplines traditionally associated with an arts faculty and the professional fields for which the Faculty is responsible.
In 2006 the Faculty’s student load was about 5,000 effective fulltime student enrolments. Within the Faculty there are more than 200 academic staff and 30 general staff members.
The Faculty of Arts consists of seven Schools:
- Australian Graduate School of Policing based at Manly
- School of Communication based at Bathurst
- School of Humanities and Social Sciences based at Wagga Wagga and with staff at Albury and Dubbo
- School of Policing Studies located at the NSWPoliceAcademy in Goulburn
- School of Social Sciences and Liberal Studies based at Bathurst
- School of Theology which operates in collaboration with St Mark’s National Theological Centre in Canberra and the UnitedTheologicalCollege in Sydney
- School of Visual and Performing Arts based at Wagga Wagga
- In addition the Faculty supports a study centre in Dubbo.
Schools are responsible for teaching subjects which make up courses offered by the Faculty and, in some cases, for subjects in courses offered by other Faculties. Each member of the academic staff of the Faculty is appointed to a School of the Faculty. Schools are responsible for quality assurance and development in teaching and research.
