Divisional Requirements

The College of Arts and Sciences has three curricular divisions:

1. Social Sciences

2. Natural Sciences and Mathematics

3. Humanities

To promote a liberal education encompassing a variety of perspectives, the Newhouse School and the School of Information Studies requires that you take courses in each of these three divisions. These courses have been chosen by the College of Arts and Sciences with the following goals in mind:

  • To enable you to develop broad perspectives informed by the best of scholarship and research across the fields of liberal inquiry;
  • To promote a critical understanding of the variety of modes of inquiry—and of how they differ, complement and compete with each other;
  • To enable you to explore the opportunities available for upper-division study in the College of Arts and Sciences, so that your later choices will be better informed.

To satisfy the Divisional Requirements, you must complete a total of NINE courses from the divisional lists. These nine courses are divided among the three divisions as outlined below:

  • Three courses must be from the Social Sciences List.
  • Three courses (including a laboratory course) must be from the Natural Sciences and Mathematics List.
  • Three courses must be from the Humanities List.

These nine courses may include Writing Intensive courses. If courses overlap into more than one requirement, you will only earn credit once, but you will gain more elective courses.

If you have Advanced Placement or transfer credit for any courses included on these lists, make sure that you do not repeat the equivalent course at SU. You can only receive credit for a course or its equivalent once.

Honors courses (HNR) are cross-disciplinary courses. Those taught by Newhouse faculty will be counted as Public Communications credits, not Arts and Sciences credits, in the degree requirements. They may fulfill divisional requirements as listed.

These are central concerns of the departments of African American Studies; Anthropology; Economics; Geography; History; International Relations; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Studies; Maxwell School of Citizenship; Political Science; Psychology; Public Affairs; Sociology; and Women’s and Gender Studies. Hence most courses satisfying the Social Sciences Divisional Requirements come from these departments.

*Notes:

Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” may be used to fulfill the Social Sciences Divisional Requirement, but they may not be counted toward the 65 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences needed for graduation unless they are cross-listed with Arts and Sciences.

Courses such as AAS/ANT 112 are cross-listed courses. You may take the course as either AAS 112 or as ANT 112. Since these are the same courses under different departmental prefixes, you may get credit for only one course in any cross-listing.

HNR 260 may be taken (with different titles) three times for a total of nine credits. HNR courses on media topics taught by Newhouse faculty members will be counted as Public Communications credits. Check with the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office if you have any questions.

HNR 360 may be taken (with different titles) three times for a total of nine credits. HNR courses on media topics taught by Newhouse faculty members will be counted as Public Communications credits. Check with the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office if you have any questions.

You may receive credit for only one course (or set of courses in the case of ECN 101-102) in each of the following groupings:

ECN 101 or Advanced Placement in Macroeconomics

Natural Sciences and Mathematics

The Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division encompasses the investigation of natural phenomena, including the development of predictive explanatory systems. This Division also includes the study of numerical and other abstract structures and relations. These are central concerns of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Physics. Hence most courses satisfying the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Divisional Requirements come from these departments.

To complete the Divisional Requirements in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics, you must take three courses from the following list. One of the courses must include a laboratory.

Courses that include a laboratory are:

  • AST 101
  • CHE 103
  • CHE 116/117
  • EAR 203
  • PHY 101
  • PHY 215/221
  • AST 104
  • CHE 106/107
  • CHE 119/139
  • EAR 210
  • PHY 102
  • PHY 216/222
  • BIO 121
  • CHE 109/129
  • EAR 105/104
  • HNR 255
  • PHY 211/221
  • BIO 123/124
  • CHE 113
  • EAR 110
  • HNR 355
  • PHY 212/222

Courses separated by a slash have a separate lab registration. The lab is under the second number. Courses with a single number have the lab included. Many of these courses are four credits.

Courses listed under “Other School and Colleges,” such as NSD 225, may be used to fulfill the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Divisional Requirement, but they may not be counted toward the 65 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences needed for graduation unless the course is cross-listed with Arts and Sciences.

The Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division encompasses the investigation of natural phenomena, including the development of predictive explanatory systems. This Division also includes the study of numerical and other abstract structures and relations. These are central concerns of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences (Geology), Mathematics and Physics. Hence most courses satisfying the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Divisional Requirements come from these departments.

To complete the Divisional Requirements in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics, you must take three courses from the following list. One of the courses must include a laboratory.

Courses that include a laboratory are:

  • AST 101
  • CHE 103
  • CHE 116/117
  • EAR 110
  • HNR 355
  • PHY 212/222

Humanities

The Humanities Division encompasses the history, theory, analysis and criticism of language, literature and other texts, religion, art, and music; and the examination of fundamental questions arising in the human search for values, knowledge, purpose, and meaning. These are central concerns of the departments or programs of African American Studies; Art and Music Histories; English and Textual Studies; Judaic Studies; Languages, Literatures and Linguistics; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies; Native American Studies; Philosophy; Religion; South Asian Studies; and Women’s and Gender Studies. Hence, most courses satisfying the Humanities Divisional Requirements come from these departments and programs.
