What if I am considering a Dual Program?

A dual degree is a single degree—a B.A. or a B.S. as appropriate—granted by two colleges. The students in such programs have two majors, are members of two schools, and have advisers in both schools.

The S.I. Newhouse School has dual programs established with the School of Information Studies, the Whitman School of Management and the College of Arts and Sciences. When students complete a dual program, since they have a second major, the requirement for a minor is waived.

The dual program with the School of Information Studies requires between 138-146 credits for graduation, depending upon your Newhouse major and course choices. You will be required to complete 65 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences as part of this degree. In fact, the core requirements for this dual degree are very similar to those for the singly enrolled Newhouse student. So, if you are contemplating a Newhouse/Information Studies dual degree and want all your credits to count toward graduation, you should follow the Newhouse core requirements outlined in this book and limit your course choices to Arts and Sciences, Information Studies, and Newhouse. The Newhouse School acts as the home college for this program. Additional information is available in the Newhouse Undergraduate Advising and Records Office (316 Newhouse 3).

The Whitman School of Management dual program requires between 148-158 credits for graduation. You will still be required to complete a Newhouse major and 65 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences. In addition, Management has a number of requirements as part of its major. The Arts and Sciences credits are configured differently than the requirements outlined here. The Whitman School of Management acts as the home college for this program. If you are interested in a Management dual, you would be best served by making an appointment in the Undergraduate Advising Office in Management, 215 SOM, to discuss your options. The School of Management has a handbook, much like this one, which outlines the requirements for the dual Management/Newhouse degree.

The dual program with the College of Arts and Sciences may be completed within four years. While students may graduate with 122 credits, they will be required to complete additional credit hours if they exceed 38 Newhouse credits, or exceed the restriction on the number of communications internship credits, or if students take courses in schools other than Arts and Sciences and Newhouse. In addition, Arts and Sciences may apply other rules, which can affect the number of credits needed to graduate. The College of Arts and Sciences is the home college for this dual degree. You can get more information in the Arts and Sciences college offices, 329 HL.

If you are considering a dual major program with Arts and Sciences and want to leave your options open, you should choose courses from the College of Arts and Sciences to fulfill your skills and divisional requirements. You might also want to be conservative in taking electives if you are considering any of the dual programs since your second major will likely cause the number of elective credits you have to diminish greatly.

If you are singly enrolled in Newhouse and wish to become a dual student with Information Studies, Management or Arts and Sciences, you must be formally accepted by the other college through the internal transfer process.

The internal transfer rules for each college are published in the “Academic Rules” section of the Syracuse University Undergraduate Course Catalog.

The 2014-2015 rules for internal transfer appear below. Internal transfer rules are updated each year. The most current rules can be found in the online Syracuse University Undergraduate Course Catalog.
