About the Faculty
|
The Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences consists of the following teaching and research units:
The teaching of a range of Arts subjects at the tertiary/university level has had a very long history in Armidale. Teaching begun in 1938 within Booloominbah itself. Although Economics was an available discipline in the first year, credit for this was still in the Bachelor of Arts, and so all academics were under the supervision of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Sydney. Slowly the range of subjects increased and the Honours year was added as soon as practical. The true origins of the Faculty here are appropriately old and shrouded in a degree of dispute as to their status. What is certain as to the initial teaching here of Classics, English, Economics, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Modern Languages and Mathematics is that 'the foundations were well and truly laid'.
