The Newhouse/Information Studies curriculum is anchored in the liberal arts and sciences. Your courses outside of your Communications and Information Management and Technology majors will help to introduce you to the expanse of knowledge upon which to build your media studies. Not only will you explore the various means to reach different publics in your professional studies, but you will become aware of the range of knowledge and emotions, ideas and values which compose effective communication. Because effective communication draws upon a broad base of knowledge, all Newhouse students take a range of liberal arts courses including courses in the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, as well as courses which develop writing skills, quantitative skills and skills in a foreign language.

The Newhouse/Information Studies core curriculum deliberately overlaps with the Liberal Arts Core of the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse. Some of the requirement descriptions and rationales presented in the Newhouse Fact Book are taken from the College of Arts and Sciences Liberal Arts Core. The Writing Intensive course list, as well as the divisional lists—Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Humanities—were developed by the College of Arts and Sciences.

Students in the PC/IS dual program are typically required to complete between 132-146 credit hours to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Newhouse and Information Studies. The required credits vary because of the different credit requirements of the eight Newhouse majors. Dual students earn one degree, in this case a Bachelor of Science, granted by two colleges. No more than 38 credits in your degree program may be taken in Newhouse. Therefore, the majority of your courses (65 credits) will be in the liberal arts and sciences. Your involvement in your major courses in Newhouse will increase as you progress in your education. In addition to your Newhouse major, your skills requirements, and your divisional requirements, you will also complete your major in Information Management and Technology. The School of Information Studies will explain the courses required and the pacing of the major in that School.

Should you need additional guidance or information, you should not hesitate to contact your faculty adviser or stop into the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office (316 Newhouse 3) where your staff adviser will be happy to help you. As your home college, Newhouse is responsible for advising you about your Newhouse major and your Arts and Sciences requirements. For questions about your IS major, you should seek advice in the School of Information Studies Student Services Office, 114 Hinds Hall.
