Dear Newhouse Student:

Welcome to Syracuse University and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. A University is a special place in which a community of scholars—teachers and students—work together toward common goals and in the process develop individual skills and talents. It is an environment where people are challenged to discover their potential and challenge others. It assumes certain freedoms with which come corresponding responsibilities.

As a new citizen of this community, you will have many different roles and responsibilities. In order to help you understand the academic expectations at the Newhouse School, we have outlined your degree requirements and the School Rules and Regulations in this handbook. You are responsible for knowing these requirements.

We don’t expect you to digest all the requirements at once. You should focus at the outset on the Skills and Divisional Requirements. We will be reviewing the rest of the materials in advising sessions this fall. Some of the requirements described here may sound familiar to you since they were included in much less detail in the directions for your First-Term Enrollment this summer. Even if they sound familiar, please review these requirements once more.

You will not be without support in your academic pursuits. Academic advising at the Newhouse School includes your faculty adviser, your peer adviser, the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office, the Associate and Assistant Deans for Student Affairs, and the Newhouse Career Development Center.

You have already met your peer adviser. Peer advisers are volunteers who want to help new students. They are good students themselves, and they are knowledgeable about requirements and the University. While your peer adviser’s formal role ends after your first semester registration is complete, he or she is available to you as a resource throughout your first year, and you should not hesitate to contact your peer adviser. If you need help locating him or her, the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office can be of assistance (316 Newhouse 3, 443-4722).

One of the first relationships we hope you will establish at the University is with your faculty adviser. You have been assigned a faculty adviser to help you discover your interests and sort through your questions. If you are not certain who your adviser is, the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office (316 Newhouse 3) can help you. Also, your adviser is listed on MySlice under Advising Services on your SU portal. While you are required to see your faculty adviser at least once each semester before registration through your first and second year in the Newhouse School, you can see your adviser at any time during the semester throughout your four years. In fact, if you are in your first year, you are currently scheduled for an advising seminar—COM 100: Seminar for First-Year Students—which meets during the first few weeks of the fall semester. Through this seminar, you will have regular contact with your faculty adviser and a small group of Newhouse students and become better acquainted with opportunities within the School and the University. We think you will find this seminar a valuable beginning to your University experience.

In addition to your Seminar, advisers have weekly office hours which are posted in the Newhouse Advising and Records Office, the Dean’s Office, the Department offices (318 Newhouse 3), on the adviser’s office door, and under Advising Services on MySlice. If you have a conflict with your adviser’s posted office hours, you may call him or her and request an appointment at a mutually convenient time. Most advisers can also be reached by email.

As you discover more about what you would like to do professionally, you may decide to change your adviser to someone who can direct you more specifically in your area of interest. (You may change your adviser by filling out the appropriate form in the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office.) You will be assigned to an adviser in your major at the end of your sophomore year, if you have not chosen a major adviser before then.

As a junior or a senior, you will not be required to see your adviser for registration purposes, although you certainly should if you have questions. This choice is extended to juniors and seniors recognizing that most are well versed in their degree requirements. By extending this privilege, we are not encouraging you to see your adviser less frequently, but we are encouraging you to see your adviser more as a resource and not just as the source of a formal signature. We hope you will see your adviser for many reasons, such as discussing your minor, electives, career goals, and internship opportunities. An adviser is a valuable contact who can help you academically and professionally if you take the time to meet with him or her regularly.

In the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office (room 316 Newhouse 3), you have a professional staff adviser who has been assigned to you to help monitor your academic progress. The Newhouse staff adviser is an expert on degree requirements and School or University procedures and rules and can often answer your questions. He or she will also maintain your records, a copy of which is kept in this office. Before your senior year, you will be required to meet with your staff adviser and have a DEGREE CHECK which will outline what you have left to complete to earn your Bachelor’s degree. At other times, if you feel uncertain about your requirements, you may request a copy of your check sheet to review with your adviser.

We supplement advising at Newhouse with group meetings on various topics. Some will be required; some will be recommended. You will get advising mailings from us with important information one or more times during the semester. It is very important that you keep your local address current and accurate on MySlice and that you check your SU email regularly. You should also visit the Newhouse Career Development Center (313 Newhouse 3) to seek career advice and to sign up for appropriate workshops as you transition from campus media to off-campus internships.

Your faculty adviser, your peer adviser, your professional staff adviser, the Career Development Center, and our offices are all here to offer help and guidance. We hope you will take the initiative to seek help when you need it and to take advantage of the opportunities we have structured for you. As any senior will tell you, your four undergraduate years will go by very quickly. We hope you will take charge of your time and education at the outset and make each one of your forty or so courses contribute to your learning and growth by exploring areas of interest, venturing into unfamiliar terrain, and expanding your knowledge and skills. We wish you great success.

The Newhouse School’s mission is to educate ethical, visionary communicators whose goal is to establish an open marketplace of ideas guided by the First Amendment using contemporary professional practices. In the course of earning their degree, students are expected to achieve the following educational outcomes:

1. Demonstrate strong writing ability.
2. Demonstrate the ability to construct and tell a story effectively in spoken words, images, text and through multi-media.
3. Understand and make use of information technology, and grasp its import for society.
4. Understand effective visual language and how to apply it to create visual messages and enhance communications.
5. Understand the events and issues of the day in public communications and society in an environment both encouraged and deepened by the liberal arts experience.
6. Think analytically, gain numerical proficiency and learn to develop well-researched positions on issues.
7. Demonstrate knowledge of the historical traditions in public communications and of industry practices and products.
8. Demonstrate a knowledge of ethical practice in the communications field, along with an understanding of the responsibilities media practitioners have for the public welfare.

12. Learn to value, embrace and support diversity in society and the media.

14. Become media literate and a critical consumer of media content.

The Newhouse School’s mission is to educate ethical, visionary communicators whose goal is to establish an open marketplace of ideas guided by the First Amendment using contemporary professional practices. In the course of earning their degree, students are expected to achieve the following educational outcomes:

1. Identify the principles and laws of free speech and press for the U. S., as well as compare the American system of freedom of expression with others around the world, including the right to dissent, to monitor and criticize power, and to assemble and petition for redress of grievances.
2. Describe how professionalization has historically shaped the institutions in communications.
3. Explain mass communication in relation to social identities such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and, as appropriate, other forms of diversity in American society.
4. Recognize how the diversity of peoples and cultures has shaped mass communications in a global society.
5. Apply theories and concepts of design and visual communication to the use and presentation of images and information.
6. Recognize professional ethical principles and apply them in pursuit of truth, accuracy, fairness and diversity.
7. Critically, creatively, and independently consider problems and issues relevant to the communications professions.
8. Conduct research and evaluate information by methods appropriate to the communications professions.

The Newhouse curriculum is anchored in the liberal arts and sciences. Your courses outside of Communications will help to introduce you to the expanse of knowledge upon which to build your media studies. Not only will you explore the various means to reach different publics in your media studies, but you will become aware of the range of knowledge and emotions, ideas and values which compose effective communication. Because effective communication draws upon a broad base of knowledge, all Newhouse students take a range of liberal arts courses including courses in the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, as well as courses which develop writing skills, quantitative skills and skills in a foreign language.

The Newhouse core curriculum deliberately overlaps with the Liberal Arts Core of the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse. Some of the requirement descriptions and rationales presented in the Newhouse Factbook are taken from the College of Arts and Sciences Liberal Arts Core. The Writing Intensive course list, as well as the divisional lists—Social Sciences, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Humanities—were developed by the College of Arts and Sciences.

Students typically are required to complete 122 credit hours to earn a Bachelor’s degree in communications. No more than 38 credits of these 122 can be taken in Newhouse course work, and no fewer than 65 credits must be taken from courses offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. Therefore, the majority of your courses will be in the liberal arts and sciences. Your involvement in your major courses in Newhouse will increase as you progress in your education. In addition to your Newhouse major, your skills requirements, and your divisional requirements, you will complete a minor in an area outside communications. You have many choices which are explained in the various sections of this handbook.

Staff:

Minor/Specialization
18 credits.

The minor must be in an area outside of communications. A minor includes a minimum of eighteen credits, usually six three-credit courses. Most minors require that twelve of the eighteen credits be in courses numbered 300 or higher. Students should declare their minor by the beginning of their third year.

Complete in third and fourth years.

Electives
0-35 credits

Since some courses may fulfill more than one requirement, the number of elective credits a student has varies according to how he or she chooses to fulfill the Skills, Divisional, and Minor requirements. Elective courses may be chosen from any area in which a student is eligible to take courses outside of communications.

Students who choose minors in Management, VPA, Information Studies or other professional schools must choose electives in Arts and Sciences to reach the 65 required credits in liberal arts.

Complete in second, third, fourth years.

A minimum of 122 credits are required for graduation.

A minimum of 65 credits (of the 122) MUST be from courses taught by the College of Arts and Sciences.

A maximum of 4 credits (of the 122) MAY be in physical education (PED courses).

Depending upon a student’s major, a maximum of 0-6 credits (of the 122) MAY be experience credit (internships) as outlined in the School Rules.

Thirty of the 122 credits MUST be in a major program in communications.

Students may take more than 38 credits in Newhouse ONLY if these credits exceed the 122 credits required for graduation.

A minimum of 122 credits are required for graduation.

Depending upon your placement, you may fulfill the Basic Skills Writing requirement by completing ENL 213: Advanced Academic Writing and Research for Non-native Speakers of English or by completing CAS 100 or WRT 105. You may have to complete one or more ENL courses before taking ENL 213, depending upon your English proficiency.

To fulfill this requirement, you must complete two three-credit or four-credit courses in a foreign language. You may continue study of a language that you studied in high school, or you may begin a different language. The two courses need not be in the same language. If you choose to continue study in a language you had studied previously, you must take the Foreign Languages Department placement test in order to register for an appropriate level course.

You may complete the Foreign Language requirement in any one of the following languages:

Language study includes speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Courses in Latin and Ancient Greek focus on reading and grammar, and do not stress speaking, listening, or writing.

Notes:

In most academic years, courses numbered 101 and 201 are offered in the fall semester; courses numbered 102 and 202 are offered in the spring semester. The exceptions are usually French and Spanish which may be offered more frequently.

ARB 202, CHI 202, FRE 202, GER 202, HEB 202, HIN/SAS 202, ITA 202, JPS 202, KOR 202, PRS 202, POL 202, POR 202, RUS 202, SPA 202, SWA 202, TRK 202 may be used in two requirements: Skills (either Foreign Languages or Additional Skills) and Divisional Requirements. (See Humanities Divisional List.) While these courses may help complete two requirements, each is still worth only three or four credits.

Special Note to Students with Advanced Placement Credit in a Foreign Language:

You may complete part of this requirement by earning a score of three or better on the C.E.E.B. Advanced Placement Examination in Chinese; French Language and Culture; German Language and Culture; Italian Language and Culture; Japanese Language and Culture; Latin; Spanish Language, or Spanish Literature. Each of these tests substitutes for ONE language course. (See Advanced Placement for Syracuse course equivalents.) You cannot receive credit toward your degree for a lower-level course in a language if you have already received credit for a higher-numbered course in the same language, nor can you repeat a course for which you have already received AP credit and receive credit for both the SU course and the AP test. For example, if you receive AP credit for SPA 102, you cannot take SPA 101 or 102 for additional credit toward your Bachelor’s degree.

Special Note to International Students: If your native language is not English, you may petition to have the Basic Skills Foreign Language requirement waived. Please go to the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office, Room 316 Newhouse 3, for further instructions.

The purpose of the Quantitative Skills Requirement is to enable you to interpret and present numeric, symbolic, tabular and graphical information effectively in communication with others. These courses are designed to help you analyze data, test hypotheses, solve problems, and appreciate the limitations of mathematical and statistical methods in your own work and the work of others. To complete this requirement, you must pass one of the following applied mathematics or statistics courses:

• MAT 121 Probability and Statistics for the Liberal Arts I (4 credits)
• MAT 183 Elements of Modern Mathematics (4 credits)
• MAT 221 Elementary Probability and Statistics I (3 credits)
• STT 101 Introduction to Statistics (3 credits)

There are some differences among these choices which are explained below.

MAT 121 and STT 101 are the most basic mathematics courses which fulfill the Quantitative Skills Requirement and provide introductions to statistics with emphasis on the analysis of real data sets. You will be expected to have a reasonable level of competence in high school algebra to do well in these classes.

MAT 121 teaches probability and statistics by focusing on data and reasoning. This course includes data display, numerical measures of data, elementary probability, discrete distributions, normal distributions, and confidence intervals.

STT 101 also provides a working knowledge of statistics: descriptive statistics, sampling distributions, and data analysis using software.

MAT 121 is taught by the Mathematics Department; STT 101 is taught by members of the cross-disciplinary statistics program. (STT 101 is offered infrequently; MAT 121 is offered regularly.)

If you have credit for pre-calculus or calculus (including AP credit, transfer credit, or Project Advance credit), you cannot receive credit for MAT 121 or STT 101 or any mathematics course numbered below 180.

If you have gotten a “C” or better in any mathematics course numbered 180 or higher, you cannot receive credit for MAT 121 or STT 101 or any course numbered below 180.

MAT 183 differs from the other courses on this list in that it includes some probability, but no statistics. This course introduces linear equations, matrices, linear programming, and discrete probability theory. MAT 183 is especially appropriate for students interested in management, finance, economics, or related areas. Students who choose to continue their study of mathematics often follow this course with a calculus class (MAT 284). However, you may also take this course if you have already earned calculus credit. Calculus is not a pre-requisite. This course assumes a mastery of high school algebra.

MAT 221 provides a more rigorous introduction to probability and statistics than MAT 121 or STT 101. MAT 221 is particularly appropriate for those students interested in social sciences such as politics, sociology, and psychology. In MAT 221 students are introduced to probability, the design of experiments, sampling theory, the introduction of computers for data management, the evaluation of models, and estimation of parameters. This course assumes a mastery of high school algebra. MAT 221 may be taken by students who have calculus credits, but calculus is not a prerequisite.

Mathematics Placement Test:

Before you may register for any of the above courses, you must take the Mathematics Placement Test. Placement tests are available on MySlice where you will find a link to take your placement test and to view your placement test results. If you are taking the test after your first semester, you must contact the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office (443-4722) at least 24 hours before you plan to take the test. A staff member will enter an eligibility code on your record that will activate your access to the test within 24 hours.

Math Notes:

MAT 112: Algebraic Operations and Functions does not fulfill the Quantitative Skills requirement; it will count as an Arts and Sciences elective course. Students who do not attain the algebra score required for placement into MAT 121 and who need to strengthen their algebra skills may take Algebraic Operations and Functions (MAT 112) before taking a course on the quantitative skills list.

MAT 183 is generally available to Newhouse students in the spring semester.

CALCULUS (MAT 284, 285, 286, 295, or AP Calculus) CANNOT BE USED TO COMPLETE THE QUANTITATIVE SKILLS REQUIREMENT. These courses may be used as part of the Divisional Requirements in Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

MAT 112, MAT 121, and STT 101 CANNOT BE TAKEN FOR CREDIT IF A STUDENT HAS COMPLETED A MATH COURSE NUMBERED ABOVE 180 AND HAS RECEIVED A GRADE OF C OR BETTER.

This rule also applies to students who received AP credit in Mathematics since they would have successfully completed the equivalent of MAT 194 or MAT 285 and 286 or MAT 295 and 296.

MAT 121 cannot be taken for credit if a student has received a C or better in STT 101.

STT 101 cannot be taken for credit if a student has received a grade of C or better in MAT 121 or MAT 221.

MAT 221 may be used to fulfill the Quantitative Skills requirement or the Additional Skills requirement, but not both.

Generally, students receive credit for ONE of the following:

• Advanced Placement in Statistics
• MAT 121
• MAS 261 (Introductory Statistics for Management, School of Management)

MAT 121 cannot be taken for credit if a student has received a C or better in STT 101.

MAT 221 may be used to fulfill the Quantitative Skills requirement or the Additional Skills requirement, but not both.

Generally, students receive credit for ONE of the following:

• Advanced Placement in Statistics
• MAT 121
• MAS 261 (Introductory Statistics for Management, School of Management)
• MAT 221
• STT 101

The purpose of the Quantitative Skills Requirement is to enable you to interpret and present numeric, symbolic, tabular and graphical information effectively in communicating with others. These courses are designed to help you analyze data, test hypotheses, solve problems, and appreciate the limitations of mathematical and statistical methods in your own work and the work of others. To complete this requirement, you must pass one of the following applied mathematics or statistics courses:

• MAT 121 Probability and Statistics for the Liberal Arts I (4 credits)
• MAT 183 Elements of Modern Mathematics (4 credits)
• MAT 221 Elementary Probability and Statistics I (3 credits)
• STT 101 Introduction to Statistics (3 credits)

There are some differences among these choices which are explained below.

MAT 121 is the most basic mathematics courses which fulfills the Quantitative Skills Requirement and provides introductions to statistics with emphasis on the analysis of real data sets. You will be expected to have a reasonable level of competence in high school algebra to do well in this class.

MAT 121 teaches probability and statistics by focusing on data and reasoning. This course includes data display, numerical measures of data, elementary probability, discrete distributions, normal distributions, and confidence intervals.

STT 101 also provides a working knowledge of statistics: descriptive statistics, sampling distributions, and data analysis using software.

MAT 121 is taught by the Mathematics Department; STT 101 is taught by members of the cross-disciplinary statistics program. (STT 101 is offered infrequently; MAT 121 is offered regularly.)

If you have credit for pre-calculus or calculus (including AP credit, transfer credit, or Project Advance credit), you cannot receive credit for MAT 121 or any mathematics course numbered below 180.

If you have gotten a “C” or better in any mathematics course numbered 180 or higher, you cannot receive credit for MAT 121 or STT 101 or any course numbered below 180.

MAT 183 differs from the other courses on this list in that it includes some probability, but no statistics. This course introduces linear equations, matrices, linear programming, and discrete probability theory. MAT 183 is especially appropriate for students interested in management, finance, economics, or related areas. Students who choose to continue their study of mathematics often follow this course with a calculus class (MAT 284). However, you may also take this course if you have already earned calculus credit. Calculus is not a pre-requisite. This course assumes a mastery of high school algebra.

MAT 221 provides a more rigorous introduction to probability and statistics than MAT 121. MAT 221 is particularly appropriate for those students interested in social sciences such as politics, sociology, and psychology. In MAT 221 students are introduced to probability, the design of experiments, sampling theory, the introduction of computers for data management, the evaluation of models, and estimation of parameters. This course assumes a mastery of high school algebra. MAT 221 may be taken by students who have calculus credits, but calculus is not a prerequisite.

Mathematics Placement Test:

Before you may register for any of the above courses, you must take the Mathematics Placement Test. Placement tests are available on MySlice where you will find a link to take your placement test and to view your placement test results.If you are taking the test after your first semester, you must contact the Math Department (315-443-3849) at least 24 hours before you plan to take the test. A staff member will enter an eligibility code on your record that will activate your access to the test within 24 hours.

Math Notes:

MAT 121 and MAT 183 are generally offered in the fall semester.

CALCULUS (MAT 284, 285, 286, 295, or AP Calculus) CANNOT BE USED TO COMPLETE THE QUANTITATIVE SKILLS REQUIREMENT. These courses may be used as part of the Divisional Requirements in Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

MAT 121 CANNOT BE TAKEN FOR CREDIT IF A STUDENT HAS COMPLETED A MATH COURSE NUMBERED ABOVE 180 AND HAS RECEIVED A GRADE OF C OR BETTER.

This rule also applies to students who received AP credit in Mathematics since they would have successfully completed the equivalent of MAT 194 or MAT 285 and 286 or MAT 295 and 296.

MAT 121 cannot be taken for credit if a student has received a C or better in STT 101.

MAT 221 may be used to fulfill the Quantitative Skills requirement or the Additional Skills requirement, but not both.

Generally, students receive credit for ONE of the following:

• Advanced Placement in Statistics
• MAT 121
• MAS 261 (Introductory Statistics for Management, School of Management)
• MAT 221
• STT 101

Writing Intensive courses have been specifically designed to give attention to developing writing ability while studying another subject matter. These courses are intended to familiarize students with the thought processes, structures, and styles associated with writing in the liberal arts.

You are required to complete two Writing Intensive courses from the list below. Some of these courses may also be used to fulfill Divisional Requirements and Minor Requirements. If one or more of these courses overlap with other requirements, you would receive credit only once; however, you would gain more elective credits because each course could be used to fulfill more than one requirement.

Transfer credit or test credits, such as Advanced Placement Credits, cannot be used to satisfy the Writing Intensive requirement. (Project Advance courses may be used to fulfill this requirement since they are Syracuse University courses.)

*Notes:

HNR courses are available to students in the Renee Crown Honors Program.

Credit will be given for only one of the following: PHI 107 or PHI 109.

Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” may be used to fulfill the Writing Intensive Requirement, but they may not be counted toward the 65 credits in the Arts and Sciences needed for graduation unless the courses are cross-listed with the College of Arts and Sciences.

The College of Arts and Sciences has three curricular divisions:

1. Social Sciences

2. Natural Sciences and Mathematics

3. Humanities

To promote a liberal education encompassing a variety of perspectives, the Newhouse School requires that you take courses in each of these three divisions. These courses have been chosen by the College of Arts and Sciences with the following goals in mind:

• To enable you to develop broad perspectives informed by the best of scholarship and research across the fields of liberal inquiry;
• To promote a critical understanding of the variety of modes of inquiry—and of how they differ, complement and compete with each other;
• To enable you to explore the opportunities available for upper-division study in the College of Arts and Sciences, including dual majors, minors, and electives, so that your later choices will be better informed.

To satisfy the Divisional Requirements, you must complete a total of TEN courses from the divisional lists. These ten courses are divided among the three divisions as outlined below:

• Two courses must be from the Social Sciences List.
• Two courses (including a laboratory course) must be from the Natural Sciences and Mathematics List.
• Two courses must be from the Humanities List.
• Four additional courses must be from any of the three lists.

These ten courses may include Writing Intensive courses or courses which may later be used as part of your minor. If courses overlap into more than one requirement, you will only earn credit once, but you will gain more elective courses.

If you have Advanced Placement or transfer credit for any courses included on these lists, make sure that you do not repeat the equivalent course at SU. You can only receive credit for a course or its equivalent once.

View Advanced Placement Course Equivalents>>

Honors courses (HNR) are cross-disciplinary courses. Those taught by Newhouse faculty will be counted as Public Communications credits, not Arts and Sciences credits, in the degree requirements. They may fulfill divisional requirements as listed.

The Social Sciences Division encompasses the history, theory, and investigation of societies, systems, regions, groups and individuals. These are central concerns of the departments of African American Studies; Anthropology; Economics; Geography; History; International Relations; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Studies; Maxwell School of Citizenship; Political Science; Psychology; Public Affairs; Sociology; and Women’s and Gender Studies. Hence most courses satisfying the Social Sciences Divisional Requirements come from these departments.

To complete the Divisional Requirements in the Social Sciences, you must take two courses from the list below. The Broadcast and Digital Journalism faculty recommends that its majors take at least one course in each of the following areas: Economics, History, and Political Science.
