The Adult and Community Education Studies major provides an opportunity for undergraduates to undertake a minor, sub-major and major study in aspects of community activism and social change within an organisation, a community or across an education or industry system. It combines a minor study with sub-major and major courses which collectively provide a background to social movements, teaching and learning in diverse contexts, and research and policy issues in and about social change through learning and education processes.
