21. Rationale for offering the Course, including reference to relevant mission statements and strategic plan
Over the last several months the Faculty of Education and Creative Arts has been conducting a review of the Master of Arts Administration (MAA) program. This review has now been completed.
The review recommended several changes to the MAA program. These included: changes to the names of some existing courses to better reflect the content, the creation of a new exit award and the replacement of all existing MAA courses with 8 units of credit courses. The relevant proposals for each of these recommendations are currently being developed and will be forwarded to the relevant University Committees for approval.
The new course, EDED XXXXX Public Relations and Sponsorship in the Creative Industries with 8 units of credit will replace the existing 6 units of credit course MRKT20041 Public Relations and Sponsorship.
Students currently undertaking the MAA are required to complete 48 units of credit (8 x 6 units of credit courses). The replacement of the existing 6 units of credit courses within the MAA by the newly developed 8 units of credit courses will mean that from 2005, students who enrol in the MAA will complete 64 units of credit (8 x 8 units of credit courses).
The introduction of 8 units of credit courses will bring the MAA into line with other masters’ programs offered by CQU. Currently, students enrolled in MAA courses pay the same fee as those enrolled in eight (8) units of credit masters courses.
