艺术学士学位（BA）是奥塔哥大学最灵活的本科学位课程，使学生能够从40多种艺术和社会科学学科以及大学其他地方提供的论文中进行学习。学术广度是通过在一门或两门主修专业中选择一门或两门未成年专业而获得的深入知识来补充的。它通常在三年的全日制课程中学习，或者在兼读制学习中具有同等水平。
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is Otago's most flexible undergraduate degree programme, enabling students to study from a selection of more than 40 arts and social science subjects, as well as papers offered elsewhere in the University. Academic breadth is complemented by in-depth knowledge gained through majoring in one or two subjects with the option of minors in one or two others. It is normally undertaken over three years of full time or its equivalent in part-time study.
