Academic Program
Campion College Australia offers a baccalaureate degree in the Liberal Arts and
will be offering a range of professional degrees at the postgraduate level.
Undergraduate Program
Undergraduate study will centre on a core curriculum covering a breadth
of subjects, including language, literature, history, philosophy, theology,
science and mathematics. Its aim is not the accumulation of knowledge
but the cultivation of wisdom - not the filling of a pail, in W.B.Yeats'
words, but the lighting of a fire. The Liberal Arts not only imparts
certain fundamental skills - such as the powers of analysis and synthesis;
proficiency in reading, writing and speaking; and intellectual balance
and the arts of communication through exposure to varied cultures and
languages. It also provides an invaluable preparation for life as well
as for the workplace.
Australian universities do not offer an integrated education in the
Liberal Arts, characterised by a core curriculum - embracing both the
arts and sciences - which all students undertake. Yet such an education
is of powerful and enduring value, as shown by the effectiveness of
graduates in the marketplace. More than half of the Fortune 500 CEOs,
for example, have a degree in the Liberal Arts. In addition, such graduates
are recognised for their ability to gain admission to the most prestigious
universities for postgraduate degrees.
