CSU Executive Director of Student Administration, Mr Geoff Honey, said the list of popular courses for 2010 highlighted the breadth of CSU course offerings.

 

“We are very pleased with the continued increase in demand for Charles Sturt University courses. The popularity is not restricted to our on campus courses - demand is very strong for our distance education courses as well,” Mr Honey said.
