Charles Sturt University's graduates with the highest public profile tend to come from the degree courses in communication and media offered on the Bathurst campus. It also specialises in the areas of pharmacy, visual and performing arts, viticulture, agriculture, dentistry, veterinary science, nursing, radiography, teaching, theology, accountancy and library and information studies. For over 30 years, the University's winery has been the producer of acclaimed table wines.

CSU has four Faculties each offering a diverse range of courses and discipline opportunities:
- The Faculty of Arts

- The Faculty of Education
- The Faculty of Science
Initially, CSU was one of a handful of Australian universities not to increase tuition fees by 25%, one of the reforms introduced by federal education minister Brendan Nelson in 2004, but it later voted to increase fees by the full 25% allowable starting from 2006.
On its Bathurst campus, CSU operates a radio station, 2MCE, which also acts as the originating studio for National Radio News, a popular community radio news service.

Wears its soul like a hat....”

“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”

Electrician: Your profile was ruined the day you were born.”
