Centre for the Study of Contemporary Arts, part of the School of Fine and Performing Arts, is concerned with nature, function and history, from the classics to popular culture, from ancient drawings and rituals to the avant-garde. Through critical analysis of classic works and personal creative development, the student will gain an awareness of the ways in which the artistic media function.

Our aim is to contribute to the vitality of the arts by developing sensitive, creative and articulate artists, teachers, audiences and graduates who are disciplined and adaptable, with both research skills and experience at collaborating effort.

Language Requirement for Humanities Majors

Students in the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Arts are required to complete one credit in a language other than English. Where half credit courses are used to satisfy the requirements, both half credits must be in the same language. It is recommended that students fulfil this requirement by year 2.
