Dear Newhouse Student:
Welcome to Syracuse University and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications! You have chosen to join a community of scholars with a rich tradition of excellence. You will engage with thought leaders in communications, work with state-of-the-art equipment, and experience professional programs that will propel you into a challenging career.
To help you understand the academic expectations at the Newhouse School, we have outlined your degree requirements in this guidebook. You are responsible for knowing these requirements. We do not expect you to digest all of the requirements at once. To start, focus on the Core Skills and Core Divisional requirements. We will review the rest of the materials in advising sessions this fall.
Your success is our priority. Academic advising at the Newhouse School includes your faculty adviser, your peer adviser, the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising Office, the Assistant Dean of Student Success, and the Newhouse Career Development Center. You have a whole team here to support you and help you succeed.
If you need help connecting with resources or any of your advisers at Newhouse, reach out to the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising Office (316 Newhouse 3; NHAdvise@syr.edu; 315-443-4722). As any senior will tell you, these next few years will go by very quickly, so get to know your advisers early on. Meanwhile, we are here to offer support and guidance and we look forward to getting to know you.

Degree Requirements
Overview
Newhouse students are required to complete a minimum of 122 credits to graduate. Additional credits may be required depending on the student’s minor, dual degree program, or use of elective credits.
Accreditation
The Newhouse School is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. Newhouse subscribes to the accrediting agency’s philosophy that communications students must be broadly educated. Therefore, Newhouse limits the number of degree applicable communications credits to 42 credits out of the total 122 credits.
Students may take more than 42 Newhouse credits only if they exceed the 122 minimum credits needed to graduate. The tuition charge per semester remains the same between 12 and 19 credits, so students are often able to accommodate additional Newhouse credits in their four years.

IDEA Course Requirement
Newhouse students are required to take one course to fulfill the IDEA Course Requirement.
The IDEA course requirement provides undergraduate students the opportunity to explore concepts in social justice, broadly defined. The IDEA acronym encapsulates the core concepts of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility. These concepts are integral to models of social justice and through their examination students can learn about important values, voices,and lives that have been marginalized and erased, along with strategies to create stronger and more just communities.
Transfer and other credit are not accepted for the IDEA Requirement except when they are included in an associate degree as defined in articulation agreements.
IDEA courses may be taught in any of the schools and colleges at the university. They vary greatly in topic area and content.
In addition to satisfying the IDEA requirement in the student’s program of study, IDEA courses may also satisfy other major, minor/specialization or arts and science core requirements. The IDEA requirement may be completed at any time, but students are encouraged to do so early in their curriculum if possible.
A list of IDEA course requirements can be found here.

First Year Seminar (FYS 101)
First-Year Seminar (FYS 101) is a one-credit, semester long course that engages all first-year and transfer students in guided conversations, experiential activities, and written assignments about transitioning to Syracuse University. During this course students will explore and explain personal goals for their education at Syracuse University and develop an understanding of the complex components of identity and how they relate to multiple communities, including finding points of connection with the Syracuse University community.
The one credit of FYS 101 First Year Seminar will count as Arts and Science credit for dually enrolled Newhouse/iSchool students.
| FYS 101 | 1 credit |
IDEA Course Requirement
Dually enrolled Newhouse/iSchool students are required to take one course to fulfill the IDEA Course Requirement.
The IDEA course requirement provides undergraduate students the opportunity to explore concepts in social justice, broadly defined. The IDEA acronym encapsulates the core concepts of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility. These concepts are integral to models of social justice and through their examination students can learn about important values, voices, and lives that have been marginalized and erased, along with strategies to create stronger and more just communities.
Transfer and other credit are not accepted for the IDEA Requirement except when they are included in an associate degree as defined in articulation agreements.
IDEA courses may be taught in any of the schools and colleges at the university. They vary greatly in topic area and content.
In addition to satisfying the IDEA requirement in the student’s program of study, IDEA courses may also satisfy other major, minor/specialization or arts and science core requirements. The IDEA requirement may be completed at any time, but students are encouraged to do so early in their curriculum if possible.
A list of IDEA course requirements can be found here.
*Set aside IDEA and FYS as University Requirements (not part of basic core).
Notes
All Newhouse majors may participate in a dual program, with the exception of the Bandier major.
Singly enrolled Newhouse students (except Bandier majors) who wish to become a dual with the iSchool must be formally accepted by the iSchool through the intra-university transfer process. Contact the iSchool for application requirements, materials, and deadlines.
The College of Arts & Sciences counts the following Newhouse courses as Arts & Sciences credit for a maximum of 9 credits:
- COM 107

- Communications Law (COM 505 , COM 506, COM 507 or COM 509)
If a student drops their iSchool major and becomes singly enrolled in Newhouse, the above courses will no longer count as Arts & Sciences credit.
Photography and Graphic Design majors are required to take EEE 370, which adds 3 additional professional credits to their degree. To balance out their degree they will need to take 70 credits of Arts and Science. (Special note for Photography and Graphic Design majors who are dual with the iSchool; the minimum is 145 credits to graduate and a minimum of 70 Arts and Sciences credits.)
In accordance with our accreditation, Newhouse does not count internship or practicum credit towards the minimum 142 credits required to graduate (except for approved Newhouse internships that count towards selected Newhouse majors).

IDEA Course Requirement
Esports students are required to take one course to fulfill the IDEA Course Requirement.
The IDEA course requirement provides undergraduate students the opportunity to explore concepts in social justice, broadly defined. The IDEA acronym encapsulates the core concepts of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility. These concepts are integral to models of social justice and through their examination students can learn about important values, voices, and lives that have been marginalized and erased, along with strategies to create stronger and more just communities.
Transfer and other credit are not accepted for the IDEA Requirement except when they are included in an associate degree as defined in articulation agreements.
IDEA courses may be taught in any of the schools and colleges at the university. They vary greatly in topic area and content.
In addition to satisfying the IDEA requirement in the student’s program of study, IDEA courses may also satisfy other major, minor/specialization or arts and science core requirements. The IDEA requirement may be completed at any time, but students are encouraged to do so early in their curriculum if possible.
A list of IDEA course requirements can be found here.
*Set aside IDEA and FYS as University Requirements (not part of basic core).
Notes
Because Esports students complete a unique combined program with Newhouse and Falk, they are not required to complete a minor/specialization.
Singly enrolled Newhouse students CANNOT switch into the Esports program. If a student drops their Esports major and becomes singly enrolled in Newhouse, they should first consult with their Esports Faculty Adviser, and they will need to take COM 107.

Notes
Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” can apply towards the Social Sciences requirements but they cannot apply towards the 61 Arts & Sciences credits required to graduate (unless the courses are cross-listed with the College of Arts & Sciences).
Some courses fulfill more than one requirement. In those cases, students receive credit only once, but the course can apply to multiple requirements. For example, a Social Sciences course may also count as a Global Experience course if it appears on both lists.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Singly Enrolled Newhouse students must complete TWO of the following courses to fulfill the Natural Sciences/Mathematics requirement. One must include a laboratory.
Dual Newhouse/iSchool students must complete THREE of the following courses to fulfill the Natural Sciences/Mathematics requirement. One must include a laboratory.
- Lab courses are denoted with an (L) after the class description.
- Lab courses separated by parentheses have a separate lab registration (for example, BIO 123(124) General Biology II/Lab). You will have to register for both the lecture section and lab section to receive credits towards the Lab Science requirement.
- Lab courses with a single number have the lab included (for example, AST 101 Our Corner of the Universe).
- courses separated by a slash are cross listed, meaning they are the same course with different prefixes (for example, BIO 211/NEU 211 Introduction to Neuroscience).

Notes
Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” can apply towards the Humanities requirements but they cannot apply towards the 61 Arts & Sciences credits required to graduate (unless the courses are cross-listed with the College of Arts & Sciences).
Some courses fulfill more than one requirement. In those cases, students receive credit only once, but the course can apply to multiple requirements. For example, a Humanities course may also count as a Writing Intensive course if it appears on both lists.
Additional Divisional Requirements
In addition to the two courses required from each division, Singly Enrolled Newhouse students must complete FOUR additional divisional courses from the Social Sciences, Natural Sciences/Mathematics, and Humanities lists.
Notes
The Additional Divisionals requirement is required for singly enrolled Newhouse students only. Dual Newhouse/iSchool students are not required to complete the Additional Divisionals requirement.
2018
Global Experience Requirement
All Newhouse students must complete ONE of the following courses to fulfill the Global Experience requirement.
Students can also complete the Global Experience requirement by participating in a study abroad program.
International students can petition to waive the Global Experience requirement, as the nature of studying at Syracuse University is a global experience.

Notes
Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” can apply towards the Global Experience requirement but they cannot apply towards the 61 Arts & Sciences credits required to graduate (unless the courses are cross-listed with the College of Arts & Sciences).
Some courses fulfill more than one requirement. In those cases, students receive credit only once, but the course can apply to multiple requirements. For example, a Global Experience course may also count as a Social Sciences course if it appears on both lists.

Minor and Specialization Requirements
All singly enrolled Newhouse students are required to complete a minor or specialization in a discipline outside of the Newhouse School. Dually enrolled Newhouse students are not required to complete a minor or specialization but may add one if they choose.
Minors
A minor is an official program of study, just like a major. It appears on the transcript and student record. Credit and course requirements, as well as application and admission requirements, for each minor can be found online in the Undergraduate Course Catalog.
Minor declaration forms are available online. Some minors require supplementary application materials. Visit each minor’s website for requirements.
Specializations
A specialization, unlike a minor, is not an official program. It will not appear on the transcript or student record, though the completed courses will appear on the transcript. A specialization is a substitute for a minor in an area where no official minor exists. It is an 18-credit requirement consisting minimally of six cohesive courses, of which at least 12 credits must be in courses numbered 300 or above.
Petitions to declare a specialization are available online.
Bandier Professional Specialization
Bandier students are required to complete a multi-disciplinary, pre-determined Professional Specialization to further develop their knowledge of the music industry.
The Bandier Professional Specialization consists of the following courses:
| ACC 201 | Essentials of Accounting |

| EEE 370 | Introduction to Entrepreneurship |
| MAR 301 | Essentials of Marketing |
| MUI 205 | Music Industry I |
| MUI 206 | Music Industry II |
Bandier students do not need to declare the Professional Specialization as it is already required of the Bandier degree program.
Notes
Students must check with departments for minor deadlines, GPA, and course prerequisite requirements.
Students should begin coursework for their minor or specialization no later than the beginning of junior year.
Newhouse courses may not be used to fulfill minor or specialization requirements.
Courses that apply towards the Core Skills, Core Divisional, and Global Experience requirements can also apply towards a minor or specialization if they fit those requirements.
Minors and specializations can include no more than one course from transfer credit or test credit, such as Advanced Placement.
Some minors carry additional program fees each semester. Students should consult SU’s Tuition, Fees, and Related Policies on the Bursar’s website for specific information about minor fees under each college.
