Divisional Requirements
The College of Arts and Sciences has three curricular divisions:
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.

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.
Social Sciences
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.

Courses listed under “Other Schools and Colleges” may be used to fulfill the Social Sciences Divisional Requirement, but they may not be counted toward the 65 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences needed for graduation unless they are cross-listed with Arts and Sciences.
Courses such as AAS/ANT 112 are cross-listed courses. You may take the course as either AAS 112 or as ANT 112. Since these are the same courses under different departmental prefixes, you may get credit for only one course in any cross-listing.
HNR 260 may be taken (with different titles) three times for a total of nine credits. HNR courses on media topics taught by Newhouse faculty members will be counted as Public Communications credits. Check with the Newhouse Advising and Records Office if you have any questions.
HNR 360 may be taken (with different titles) three times for a total of nine credits. HNR courses on media topics taught by Newhouse faculty members will be counted as Public Communications credits. Check with the Newhouse Advising and Records Office if you have any questions.
You may receive credit for only one course (or set of courses in the case of ECN 101-102) in each of the following groupings:
ECN 101 and 102, ECN 203, or Advanced Placement in Microeconomics and Macroeconomics
ECN 101 or Advanced Placement in Microeconomics
ECN 102 or Advanced Placement in Macroeconomics
ECN/WGS 258 or ECN/WGS 358
You may receive credit for only one course in each of the following groupings:
HST 101 or Advanced Placement in U.S. History
HST 102 or Advanced Placement in U.S. History
HST 121 or Advanced Placement in World History
HST 122 or Advanced Placement in World History
PSC 121, PSC 129, or Advanced Placement in U.S. Government and Politics
PSC 123 or Advanced Placement in Comparative Government and Politics
PSC 124 or PSC 139
PSY 205, PSY 209, or Advanced Placement in Psychology.
You may receive credit for no more than two courses in the following grouping:
GEO 105, GEO 171, or Advanced Placement in Human Geography.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
The Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division encompasses the investigation of natural phenomena, including the development of predictive explanatory systems. This Division also includes the study of numerical and other abstract structures and relations. These are central concerns of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, and Physics. Hence most courses satisfying the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Divisional Requirements come from these departments.
To complete the Divisional Requirements in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics, you must take two courses from the following list. One of the courses must include a laboratory.
Courses that include a laboratory are:

Courses listed under “Other School and Colleges,” such as NSD 225, may be used to fulfill the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Divisional Requirement, but they may not be counted toward the 65 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences needed for graduation unless the course is cross-listed with Arts and Sciences.
The Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division encompasses the investigation of natural phenomena, including the development of predictive explanatory systems. This Division also includes the study of numerical and other abstract structures and relations. These are central concerns of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences (Geology), Mathematics, and Physics. Hence most courses satisfying the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Divisional Requirements come from these departments.
To complete the Divisional Requirements in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics, you must take two courses from the following list. One of the courses must include a laboratory.
Courses that include a laboratory are:

Humanities
The Humanities Division encompasses the history, theory, analysis and criticism of language, literature and other texts, religion, art, and music; and the examination of fundamental questions arising in the human search for values, knowledge, purpose, and meaning. These are central concerns of the departments or programs of African American Studies; Art and Music Histories; English and Textual Studies; Judaic Studies; Languages, Literatures and Linguistics; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies; Native American Studies; Philosophy; Religion; South Asian Studies; and Women’s and Gender Studies. Hence, most courses satisfying the Humanities Divisional Requirements come from these departments and programs.
