Please note that non-Arts majors may also require permission from the relevant Faculty before a student can commence an academic plan including these majors. Students wishing to pursue graduate study in non-Arts areas such as Psychology should consult with the relevant Faculty regarding acceptable content areas in the Bachelor of Arts.
The Bachelor of Arts at Springfield
A limited number of majors and minors are available on-campus at Springfield. These include the core courses, the English Literature and Journalism majors, and minors in History, and Communication and Media. The recommended ONC Springfield enrolment patterns for these courses are shown in separate tables under the relevant major.

Minor studies are designed to enable students to widen their knowledge and perspectives, or to complement their choice of major. Courses must be taken over two levels and should be in the same discipline or recognised multi-disciplinary area. Minors may be taken from the Arts selection, and from other minors at USQ. Students who take two major studies may take one of the minors indicated in the section of this Handbook. Students should take courses to the value of at least four units in the selected Minor study. Choice of a minor will depend on the availability of the subject area, timetabling constraints, quotas and other restrictions such as auditions and interviews in certain areas of the Arts, as well as approval by the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts.
Electives/Approved courses
Elective courses are designed to enable students to further increase their knowledge and widen their perspectives. Choice of an elective will depend on the availability of the course(s), timetabling constraints, quotas, and other restrictions such as auditions and interviews in certain areas of the Arts, as well as approval by the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts. Courses available for elective study are generally those found in Minor studies and are listed in the section of this Handbook.
