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.
