Major Requirements
Deciding on a Major
As a Recording and Entertainment Industries major in the Bandier Program, your major is already declared. The Newhouse curriculum is designed to allow you to explore the field of communications in the early course work. The first course that you will take in your major is COM 107: Communications and Society. It is required in ALL Newhouse majors. The course will introduce you to the many areas of communications and get you thinking about your major you want and the variety of ways one can practice communications. There are career discussions which are part of the course, in addition to the Rezak lecture series which is part of the Bandier major, where you will have the opportunity to hear and talk with communications professionals from a variety of fields. In addition, in your first year, you’ll also complete COM 117: Multimedia Storytelling, a three-credit course in which you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with different types of stories: stories that persuade, stories that document, and stories that entertain. These courses are designed to help you become familiar with the various fields within public communications. Also in the first year, all Newhouse majors complete a required one-credit grammar class, COM 101: Practical Grammar for Public Communications. Writing skills are important in Newhouse majors, and strong grammatical skills will help you communicate clearly.
You can also learn more about Newhouse majors and communications in general by talking to your faculty adviser and your peer adviser, by attending lectures given by visiting professionals, and by attending programs sponsored by the Newhouse Career Development Center and student organizations. You should consider participating in at least one of the many fine campus media groups—WAER, WJPZ, Citrus TV, the TNH Advertising Agency, Hill Communications, The Daily Orange, Jerk Magazine, and other student publications. You should also consider joining one of the many active student chapters of professional communications organizations in Newhouse including Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), Women in Communications (WICI), the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, (NAHJ), and other such organizations. See pages 65-67 for a list of organizations.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE YOUR MAJOR UP UNTIL THE END OF YOUR SOPHOMORE YEAR.
Students who change majors later than sophomore year often need to extend their time to graduation. Because of New York State law, students who do not declare their major on time will lose their TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) aid. In addition, juniors will not be able to register without declaring a major. (A junior is defined as a student who has completed 60 credit hours.) There are many rules pertaining to New York State financial aid and federal financial aid. For more information, consult the Financial Aid Office or visit the Financial Aid Office website.
Declaring a Newhouse Major
There are nine major undergraduate programs of study in Newhouse:
- Advertising
- Broadcast and Digital Journalism
- Graphic Design
- Magazine
- Newspaper and Online Journalism
- Photography
- Public Relations
- Recording and Entertainment Industries (Bandier Program)
- Television, Radio and Film
The Photography major has a choice of two different sequences:
- Commercial and Advertising Photography
- Editorial Photography and Photojournalism
You can find the most up-to-date requirements for each Newhouse major in the Undergraduate Advising and Records Office (316 Newhouse 3). There is a handout, which you may pick up in that Office, for each major that interests you. You can also find the requirements for each major, as well as course descriptions and prerequisites, in the School of Public Communications section of the Syracuse University Undergraduate Course Catalog.
You may notice that your Recording and Entertainment Industries major is already appearing on your MySlice student record. When you indicated a preference for a major on your Admission application, that information became part of your SU student record. If you wish to change your major, you may do so through the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office. If you are happy with your major, you need do nothing to retain it. Generally, you will be following the requirements of the year you entered the University as a matriculated student.
As noted earlier, all Newhouse major programs have at least three courses in common: COM 107: Communications and Society, COM 101: Practical Grammar for Public Communications, and COM 117: Multimedia Storytelling. All Newhouse majors are also required to complete a Diversity requirement and a Global Experience requirement.
The Diversity requirement and the Global Experience requirement are explained on the following pages.
Dual Majors and Minors
Because of the cross-disciplinary nature of the Bandier program with required courses in four different colleges, a dual major is not practical nor approved for this program. The number of credits to complete a dual program with the other Bandier requirements would make the program prohibitively long.
Also, while an official minor is not required for Bandier majors, students may choose to do a minor. If the minor is in Arts and Sciences, it may fit within the 122 credits (or add a few credits). If the minor is in a professional school, such as the Whitman School of Management, it will add 9-18 credits to the degree, depending up the choice of minor.
A minor, however, cannot be substituted for the professional specialization required in this major program.
Accreditation Requirements
The Newhouse School is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. We subscribe to our accrediting agency’s philosophy that students studying communications need to be broadly educated. Therefore, following their guidelines, we limit the number of communications credits which can count toward your degree to 42 credits out of 122. (Eighty of the 122 credits are not in communications, and 61 of these credits must be in courses taught by the College of Arts and Sciences.)
You may take more than 42 Newhouse credits only if they exceed the 122 minimum needed to graduate. If, for example, you choose to take two additional Newhouse courses for a total of 48 Newhouse credits, then you must graduate with 128 credits, six more than the minimum, since only 42 Newhouse credits may be part of the 122 credits needed for your degree.
Many students graduate with more than 122 credits. Since students are allowed to take between 12 and 19 credits each semester for the same tuition charge, students can accommodate additional credits in their four years if they want to. If you are concerned about planning your courses so that you graduate on time, an adviser in the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office may help. We encourage you to ask questions at any time about your requirements.
Diversity Requirements
As part of its educational mission, the Newhouse School encourages students to value, embrace and support diversity in society and the media. While diversity is considered in many courses in your major, one course, in particular, will be devoted to the topic of U.S. diversity. In addition, we hope that you will also take courses outside your major that will help you develop an understanding and appreciation of diversity.
Students may fulfill the Newhouse Diversity Requirement by choosing ONE of the following:
- COM 344: Diversity and Media Issues (1 Newhouse credit) and one three-credit, upper-division Arts and Sciences course from the following list (upper-division is defined as 300-level as 300-level or above). Students may take these two courses in the same semester or in different semesters.
- COM 346: Race, Gender, and the Media (3 Newhouse credits)
- COM 348: Beauty and Diversity in the Fashion Media (3 Newhouse credits)

*Notes:
Students may receive credit for either ECN/WGS 258 Poverty and Discrimination in America OR ECN/WGS 358 Economics of US Poverty and Discrimination, but not both courses.
Global Experience Requirement
Mass communications is a global endeavor. To become effective communicators, Newhouse students are encouraged to develop an appreciation of different cultures around the world. One of the best ways to gain a global perspective is to study abroad. SU Abroad offers programs that last a week, a summer session, or a whole semester. Students are encouraged to satisfy the Global Experience requirement by studying through SU Abroad. Students who are unable to study abroad may fulfill this requirement by taking at least one course from the following list.
Courses that are on this list and that are also on the Divisional Requirement lists may fulfill both the Global requirement and the Divisional requirement. The Diversity requirement and the Global requirement, however, may not be fulfilled with the same course.
