Bachelor of Arts (BA)
Engage your passion for the arts and cultural expression.
Culture & Expression investigates how meaning, embedded in form, offers ways of understanding culture. The program studies the relationship between human imagination and the cultural settings which ignite it.
Our award-winning faculty are involved in the arts, humanities and cultural studies. They bring a diversity of experience and knowledge to the classroom.
Graduates have gone on to careers in activism and advocacy, education, law and media—and make a real difference in their communities.
