Core Divisional Requirements
Singly enrolled Newhouse students and dual Newhouse/iSchool students must complete the Core Skills requirements.
Dual Arts & Sciences/Newhouse and dual Whitman/Newhouse students should refer to their home colleges for information regarding core requirements.
Notes
Students who have earned Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or transfer credit for a Core Divisional course cannot repeat the equivalent course at Syracuse University. Students can only receive credit for a course or its equivalent once.
Courses such as AAS/ANT 112 are cross-listed courses. Students may take the course as either AAS 112 or ANT 112. Since these are the same courses under different department prefixes, students may receive credit for only one course in any cross-listing.
Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” can apply towards the Core Divisional 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).
HNR courses or honors sections of courses are available only to students in the Renee Crown Honors Program.
Honors courses (HNR) are cross-disciplinary courses. Those taught by Newhouse faculty are counted as Newhouse credits, not Arts & Sciences credits, in the degree requirements. They can fulfill Core Divisional requirements as listed.
HNR 240, HNR 340, HNR 250, HNR 350, HNR 260, and HNR 360 may each be taken (with different titles) up to three times (for a total of nine credits per course number).
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.

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.
