Summary Reports

About the summary reports

The summary reports are designed to inform Executive Deans and BA coordinators of the key findings of the BA Scoping project. The information sheets are designed to be read in conjunction with the other supporting documents and project outcomes on this website.

These summery reports are available as PDF files

Intentions and purposes

The format of these summary sheets provides an introduction to the specific issue and articulates the key findings pertaining to that issue.

The report format emerged in response to requests from round table meeting participants who indicated that they would prefer information sheets that provided bites of information rather than deep analyses, with salient points highlighted and block text on fact and figures.

2. What is the Australian BA? Defining and Describing the Nature and Role of the Arts in Contemporary Australia
3. Mapping the Terrain: Trends and shared features in BA programs across Australia 2001-2008
4. Who is enrolled in the Australian BA? Student Uptake of the Australian BA 2001 - 2006
5. Who is delivering the Australian BA? Trends in Staff Profiles in the BA 2001 - 2006
6. Future studies emerging from the BA Scoping project
