Arts & Sciences Electives
| Arts & Sciences Electives | 4-26 credits | The number of elective credits varies according to how a student fulfills the Skills and Divisional requirements. |
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
- COM 346 or COM 348
- 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.
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). The following experience courses may count towards the required 67 Arts & Sciences credits (if they are listed as Arts & Sciences courses) but they cannot count within the overall 142 credits required to graduate. This list is subject to change as courses are added and updated. (Special note for Graphics and Photography majors who are dual with the iSchool—their minimum is 145 credits to graduate and a minimum of 70 A&S credits.)

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.

| 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).
