Transcript(s) from all prior institutions indicating that a degree(s) has been awarded.
For students who have received a degree(s) outside the U. S.:
A diploma, certificate, or certificate of graduation bearing the appropriate signatures and seal of the institution that specifies your degree(s) and date(s) of degree
awarded
A transcript (mark sheet, statement of marks, grade report) that contains all courses taken and grades for each course completed as related to each degree awarded
GENERAL REQUIRED MATERIALS
Individuals interested in applying to a graduate program offered at Syracuse University must complete an official graduate application and submit one copy of records
of all previous postsecondary education. Most departments also require three letters of recommendation and scores from standardized aptitude tests. The Program
Requirements List by School/College included in the Graduate Application contains the specific tests required by each academic unit.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Those applicants whose primary language of instruction has not been English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Each academic unit
establishes acceptable scores and may also require other demonstrations of English language competence. Details are available from academic units directly.

An international applicant, if admitted, will need Syracuse University to issue a visa eligibility document to obtain a student visa. You must show evidence of having
secured sufficient funding for at least the first year of graduate study. All financial documents must be written in English and valid within one year of the start of the
semester. Please note that it is only possible to estimate the annual cost of attendance for graduate students because costs vary widely according to the number of credits
taken as well as the lifestyle of the student.

Syracuse University Internship Opportunities
Elective Internships at Syracuse University
113 Euclid Avenue, 315-443-4271
http://careers.syr.edu/internships.htm
The Career Services office in Schine Student Center helps students find and arrange local and national internships (whether they carry academic credit or not).
Internships may be taken during any semester or summer session. Career Services facilitates internships in most career areas and makes information about internship
options available to graduate and undergraduate students from across the University. Students who want to receive academic credit for their internship are subject to the
provisions and regulations of the school or college in which they are enrolled.
Elective internships can provide students with opportunities to apply what they have learned in the classroom, explore career options, develop specific career skills, and
become involved with community service. The specific role of the intern varies with each host organization, depending upon the students goals, objectives, and skills
and the organizations needs and resources.
Supervisors in the host organization guide and monitor the interns work at the internship site. If the internship is taken for academic credit, then at the end of the
internship the supervisor evaluates each interns work. This becomes part of the faculty member's final evaluation of student achievement.

Every academic credit internship is guided by a faculty sponsor, a faculty member who has expertise relevant to the internship. The sponsor helps the student set goals
for the internship and decides on the method of evaluating the experience. Interns may be required to keep journals, complete portfolios, or work on projects and papers.
The faculty sponsor also awards the grade for the internship.
INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Students can find pre-existing internships in many fields. In addition students can often develop their own internships, each of which must be approved by their faculty
sponsor and academic program. Internships may be taken during the fall or spring semester, over winter break or during summer sessions, either in the Syracuse area or
in their home towns or elsewhere in the United States or abroad.
ACADEMIC CREDIT
Once accepted for an internship, students must complete a learning proposal that describes the goals and activities planned for the internship and an online supplemental
information (and waiver) form.
Internships for elective academic credit require at least 45 hours of internship work for each credit earned. Thus, during a regular 15-week semester, an intern may earn
three credits by working an average of 9 hours a week. During summer sessions, work schedules vary widely and often include more than the minimum number of
hours. All internship hours worked under the oversight of the faculty sponsor are considered part of the internship. Students may register for anywhere from 1 to 6
credits, depending on the advice of their faculty advisors and the specific requirements of the department and school or college in which they are enrolled.
Work schedules are arranged by the interns and their site supervisors. The total number of credits awarded depends upon the nature of the tasks and responsibilities
involved as well as the number of hours worked and in summer, the students financial resources.
During fall and spring semesters, full-time undergraduate students may include internship course credits as part of their regular course load, which allows up to 19
credits without incurring additional tuition charges. Undergraduates accepted for summer sessions internships pay tuition at the rate set for other summer credits. All
graduate students and all University college students taking internships for credit pay tuition at the rates set for other credits.
Interns must be registered during the semester or summer session in which their internships take place. Retroactive credit is not granted.
For further information about local and national internship opportunities, program policies, and application and registration procedures, contact the Career Services
office in Schine Student Center, or visit the Career Services web site, http://careerservices.syr.edu .

Interdisciplinary And Specialized Study
Syracuse University has long promoted the development of special programs and research groups, many of an interdisciplinary nature. Not only does Syracuse offer a
wide array of interdisciplinary programs of study, but many individual courses provide students with considerable flexibility in developing their academic programs.
Students enrolled in certain programs at Syracuse may also take selected courses at one of the two SUNY institutions adjacent to the campus, the College of
Environmental Science and Forestry and SUNY Upstate Medical University. Detailed descriptions and requirements of these programs are given in the appropriate
colleges and schools listings in this catalog.
The interdisciplinary network at Syracuse also encompasses faculty members who serve in dual capacities, holding joint appointments in more than one department
within the University or at other institutions. For example, some School of Education faculty members regularly instruct classes in the Maxwell School of Citizenship
and Public Affairs and vice versa. Other faculty members hold external appointments in addition to their posts at the University.
Graduate Study
Generally, graduate students select a program of study within one academic unit that leads to a degree conferred by the Graduate School. Students may also choose to
7
pursue formal joint-degree programs. In such cases, the student is enrolled in more than one school or college. A dually enrolled student must meet the major
requirements in each school. Examples of dual programs are the law/public administration (J.D./M.P.A.) program, the law/library science (J.D./M.S.) program, the
law/business administration (J.D./M.B.A) program., and the law/cultural foundations of education (J.D./M.S) program, law/forensic science (J.D./M.A.), and
law/computer science (J.D./M.S.).
Similar in concept to joint degree programs are concurrent degree programs, which also allow students to pursue programs of study in more than one discipline
simultaneously, often with fewer total credit requirements than the two separate degrees. This plan leads to two degrees, one in each program of study. Concurrent
degree arrangements are also available to Syracuse University graduate students and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry students who wish to
combine the study of public administration, law, management, education, or public communications with study in environmental science and forestry.
Similarly, The Master of Public Health (M.P.H) degree is a collaborative program, sponsored jointly by SUNY Upstate Medical University (UMU) and Syracuse
University (SU). Participating colleges at Syracuse University include the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the College of Human Ecology, L.C.
Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, and the College of Law.
Under the terms of a formal Scholar Exchange Program, Syracuse graduate students may avail themselves, for up to one year of study, of classes offered by Cornell
University or the University of Rochester in addition to the courses and programs offered by Syracuse University.

The CASE Center
New York State Center for Advanced Technology (CASE Center) is funded by the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation to support
innovative, interdisciplinary research in complex information intensive systems. The mission of CASE is to catalyze growth in the high-technology economy of New
York State by fusing technical competency with industry-specific knowledge to advance applications of predictive analysis, monitoring and/or control of complex
behavioral, information and communication systems. CASEs current key technical focus areas range from social behavior to financial transactions, including data
fusion, data mining, control design, systems modeling, systems security and assurance, bioinformatics, intelligent computing, sensor network/management. These focus
areas expand as CASE engages new faculty and industry partners. In addition, CASE provides project management for university-industry collaboration in research and
development; brings together interdisciplinary teams from industry and academia for brainstorming and networking to foster and spawn innovation; identifies funding
opportunities and assists university-industry teams in developing and delivering successful proposals and projects.
CASE serves as an access point for the private sector to engage the University, supporting co-op and internship programs for students as well as research and
development projects. Through CASE, graduate students with a variety of backgrounds can work with the countrys most advanced information research and
technology. In addition to close collaborations with faculty scientists and engineers, CASE offers students opportunities to gain practical real-world experience working
directly with leading private sector companies in a wide range of industries. For students interested in entrepreneurship, CASE also offers a unique chance to participate
first-hand in the launch of high-potential start-up companies through its on-campus incubator. A CASE experience can significantly enhance students professional
development and career options.

Graduate study and research have been recognized as a critical piece of Syracuse Universitys mission since its inception in 1870. Today, every school and college at
Syracuse offers graduate study, and the University awards approximately 1,700 masters degrees and certificates of advanced study and 150 doctoral degrees annually.
A complete listing ofgraduate degree programs can be found in the Academic Offerings Tab section in this catalog.
Individual graduate programs are administered by departments or interdisciplinary committees and are subject to approval by the appropriate schools and colleges and
by the University Senate. These policies and standards are administered by the Graduate School. All postbaccalaureate degrees are awarded through the Graduate
School, with the exception of the J.D. degree, which is awarded through the College of Law.
Graduate students will learn from a full-time faculty of more than 800 scholars, many of them internationally or nationally recognized in their field, and will assist
faculty both in the classroom and with important research initiatives.
All Syracuse University graduate degree programs, with the exception of law, are organized under the auspices of the Graduate School. Applications for admission are
submitted to the Graduate School, which also confers degrees upon graduation. The graduate degree programs themselves, however, are offered by faculty of the
Universitys 12 academic schools and colleges. This unique organizational structure fosters intellectual collaboration and exploration across the disciplines while at the
same time recognizing the highly specialized nature of graduate-level academic work.
Requests for information about graduate programs should be directed to the specific academic units offering those programs. Questions about University-wide policies
should be directed to the Graduate School.
Syracuse University Graduation Rate
In compliance with the federal Student-Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act, and regulations of the U.S. Department of Education, Syracuse University provides
the following information to current and prospective students: Of the cohort of full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students who first enrolled at Syracuse
University in fall 2005, 80.1 percent had earned their bachelors degrees as of August 2011. These beginning and end dates comprise 150 percent of the normal length
of full-time study (4 years) needed to complete a typical undergraduate degree program. While this calculation meets the acts requirements for determining a
graduation rate, Syracuse University recognizes that many students for diverse reasons are unable or choose not to complete their degrees in a continuous sequence of
full-time enrollment and, therefore, that the rate may not accurately reflect the commitment and achievement of its students. Moreover, the acts stipulation that the
graduation rate be that of the cohort of entering full-time students leaves out the significant population of part-time students who constitute an important part of the
Syracuse University community.

Student Rights (FERPA)
Annual Notification of Rights Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Syracuse University fully complies with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and its implementing regulations, each as amended (collectively,
FERPA), and with guidelines recommended by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. FERPA gives students certain rights with
respect to their education records. These rights include:
I. The right to inspect and review the students education records.
Students should submit to the University Registrar (106 Steele Hall, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244-1120) a written request that identifies the record(s) they
wish to inspect. The University Registrar will make arrangements for access, excluding records and documents considered exceptions or to which a student has waived
his or her right of access, and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. Access will be provided within a reasonable time, not to
exceed 45 days after the Registrars receipt of the students request.
II. The right to request the amendment of the students education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading, or in violation of the students
privacy rights.
Students who wish to ask the University to amend a record should obtain a Request to Amend or Remove Education Records form from the Registrars Office and
clearly identify the part of the record they want changed and specify why it is inaccurate, misleading or in violation of their rights of privacy. Note that this does not
include a right to contest grades or other substantive matters accurately reflected in the records. Thus, this procedure may not be used to change a grade in a record
unless the grade assigned was inaccurately recorded.
If the University decides not to amend the record as requested, the University will notify the student in writing of the decision and of the students right to a hearing
regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when he or she is notified of the right to
a hearing. If the hearing results in a final determination not to amend the record, the student is permitted to place a statement with the record commenting on the
contested information, stating his or her disagreement with the decision not to amend the record, or both.
III. The right to provide written consent before the University discloses personally identifiable information from the students education records, except to the
extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
A student has the right to consent to the disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in his or her education records, except to the extent that FERPA
authorizes disclosure without consent. Set forth below is information about some of the circumstances in which FERPA authorizes such disclosures. The University
reserves the right to make disclosures of information from education records without a students consent in these and other circumstances in which such disclosures are
permitted by FERPA.
A. The University may disclose education records without a student's prior written consent to school officials with legitimate educational interests.
12
A school official is:
a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research or support staff position; 1.
a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); 2.
a person serving on the Board of Trustees; 3.
a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks; or 4.
a person volunteering or otherwise performing services for the University. 5.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest when he, she, or it has a need to access student education records for the purpose of performing an appropriate
educational, research, administrative or other function for the University.
B. The University may disclose education records without consent to officials of another university, college or school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll, or is
already enrolled, for purposes of the students enrollment or transfer.
C. The University may disclose education records without consent to parents of a dependent student as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, when proof of
dependency has been provided. A parent is a parent, guardian, or someone acting as a parent who meets the IRS standard. (Note: Students should refer to their
individual school/college policies concerning parental notification of information regarding academic misconduct and/or academic performance.)
D. The University may disclose education records without consent to appropriate parties in connection with an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary
to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals.
IV. The right to prevent disclosure of personally identifiable information that Syracuse University has designated as Directory Information.
Unless a student has followed the steps described below, the University may disclose directory information without consent in accordance with the provisions of
FERPA. Directory information is defined as that information which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Syracuse
University considers the following to be directory information:
Name*
Current address and phone number
Permanent address and phone number
SU email address*
Academic awards and honors
Athletic participation
Class/level*
Dates of attendance
Degree(s) earned and date(s)
Full/part-time status
Majors(s)/degree program(s)
Photograph or other visual image
Prior postsecondary institutions attended
SU ID number
SU school/college(s)*
* Asterisked items are displayed in the Universitys online directory
Students may block the public disclosure of directory information (in whole or in part) by filing a Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information form with the
Office of the Registrar, 106 Steele Hall. Requests may be filed at any time, and remain in effectpermanently (including after departure from the University) until
removed, in writing, by the student. The Registrars Office will provide information about additional steps that must be taken by students who wish to prevent release of
information regarding athletic participation and announcements of academic achievements to their hometown newspaper(s).
Filing of a Request to Prevent Disclosure will also prevent information from loading to Blackboard, an online course management system used in many SU classes, and
may make a student ineligible for SUmail, SU's student e-mail system. For such students who are required to use Blackboard for one or more classes, the Registrars
Office will provide information about the additional steps that must be taken. Instead of SUmail, those who file a Request to Prevent Disclosure that includes their SU e
-mail address will be provided an official SU e-mail account in the University's administrative e-mail system.
Students should carefully consider the consequences of a decision to prevent disclosure of Directory Information. Regardless of the effect upon students, the University
assumes no liability as a result of honoring instructions that such information be withheld.
V. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Syracuse University to comply with the requirements of
FERPA.
Any student who has reason to believe that the University is not complying with FERPA should inform the University Registrar in writing. The Registrar shall promptly
review all such allegations and initiate appropriate actions. In addition, students have the right to file complaints with the United States Department of Education
concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. Complaints may be submitted in writing to:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington DC 20202-5920
Phone: 1-800-872-5327
For additional information about the Universitys FERPA policy, see http://supolicies.syr.edu/ethics/ferpa.htm . Questions about FERPA, students privacy rights, and
compliance procedures may be directed to the Office of the Registrar, 106 Steele Hall, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13244-1120, 315 443-2422.

Academic Rules
This is the official version of the general academic rules of Syracuse University (SU) effective for the 2012-2013 academic year. The rules are presented alphabetically
by topic, reflecting distinctions between undergraduate and graduate rules as appropriate. Both undergraduate and graduate students will find that their individual
school/college/department has additional rules that apply. In the case of graduate students, these rules may be more restrictive than the general University rule.
Additional Sources For Information
There are a number of other sources for information and rules that are important for students. They include, but are not limited to, the following:
Financial Aid Home
Student Handbook
SU Abroad
Tuition, Fees & Related Policies
Also see school, college, and academic department materials and websites.
Academic Integrity
At Syracuse University, academic integrity is expected of every community member in all endeavors. Academic integrity includes a commitment to the values of
honesty, trustworthiness, fairness, and respect. These values are essential to the overall success of an academic society. In addition, each member of the university
community has a right to expect the highest standards of academic integrity from all other community members. An individuals academic dishonesty threatens and
undermines the central mission of the University. It is unfair to other community members who do not cheat, because it devalues efforts to learn, to teach, and to
conduct research. Academic dishonesty interferes with moral and intellectual development, and poisons the atmosphere of open and trusting intellectual discourse.
Syracuse Universitys academic integrity policy and procedures are administered by the Academic Integrity Office in the Division of Academic Affairs, and all schools
and colleges (see supplemental policy and procedures for the College of Law).

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY EXPECTATIONS
Academic integrity is violated by any dishonest act which is committed in an academic context including, but not limited to the following:

Use of Sources Plagiarism is the use of someone elses language, ideas, information, or original material without acknowledging the source. Examples of plagiarism:
Paper is downloaded from an Internet source and/or obtained from a paper mill. 1.
Paper contains part or all of the writings of another person (including another student), copied without citation. 2.
Paper contains passages that were cut and pasted from an Internet source, without citation. 3.
While students are responsible for knowing how to quote from, paraphrase, and cite sources correctly, the ability to apply that information in all writing situations is an
advanced literacy skill acquired over time through repeated practice. When a student has attempted to acknowledge sources but has not done so fully or completely, the
instructor may determine that the issue is misuse of sources or bad writing, rather than plagiarism. Factors that may be relevant to the determination between misuse of
sources and plagiarism include prior academic integrity education at Syracuse University, and the program level of the student.
Course Work and Research
The use or attempted use of unauthorized aids in examinations or other academic exercises submitted for evaluation; 1.
Fabrication, falsification, or misrepresentation of data, results, sources for papers or reports; in clinical practice, as in reporting experiments, measurements,
statistical analyses, tests, or other studies never performed; manipulating or altering data or other manifestations of research to achieve a desired result;
selective reporting, including the deliberate suppression of conflicting or unwanted data;
2.
Copying from another students work; 3.
Actions that destroy or alter the work of another student; 4.
Unauthorized cooperation in completing assignments or examinations; 5.
Submission of the same written work in more than one course without prior written approval from both instructors. 6.
Communications
Violating the confidentiality of an academic integrity investigation, resolution, or documentation; 1.
Making a false report of academic dishonesty; 2.
Dishonesty in requests for make-up exams, for extensions of deadlines for submitting papers, or in any other matter relating to a course. 3.
Representations and Materials Misuse
Falsification of records, reports, or documents associated with the educational process; 1.
Misrepresentation of ones own or anothers identity for academic purposes; 2.
Misrepresentation of material facts or circumstances in relation to examinations, papers, or other academic activities; 3.
Sale of papers, essays, or research for fraudulent use; 4.
Alteration or falsification of University records; 5.
Unauthorized use of University academic facilities or equipment, including computer accounts and files; 6.
Unauthorized recording, sale, purchase, or use of academic lectures, academic computer software, or other instructional materials; 7.
Expropriation or abuse of ideas and preliminary data obtained during the process of editorial or peer review of work submitted to journals, or in proposals for
funding by agency panels or by internal University committees;
8.
Expropriation and/or inappropriate dissemination of personally-identifying human subject data; 9.
Unauthorized removal, mutilation, or deliberate concealment of materials in University libraries, media, laboratories, or academic resource centers. 10.
COURSE-SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
A. The instructor of record is responsible for determining and communicating course-specific academic integrity expectations. Instructors of record are
responsible for stating, in writing, course-specific expectations, particularly those regarding use of sources and collaboration.
B. Students are responsible for consulting their instructors for any clarification needed on academic integrity standards, including those set forth in this policy
and those that are course-specific.
C. Collusion is assisting or attempting to assist another in an act of academic dishonesty. Collusion is distinct from collaborative learning, which may be a
valuable component of scholarly development. Acceptable levels of collaboration vary in different courses, and students are expected to consult with their
instructor if they are uncertain whether their cooperative activities are acceptable.
15
TRANSCRIPT NOTATIONS
When an F grade for course failure is imposed for an academic integrity violation, the grade on the transcript will be marked with the notation (X). The failing
grade is counted toward the GPA. If the (X) notation is applied for a first violation, it will be removed only upon the students completion of an educational program
and full compliance with all consequences associated with the violation. After the (X) notation is removed, the student may petition to flag the failing grade. If the
(X) is applied for a subsequent violation, the notation will be permanently retained on the transcript.
Academic Renewal
Undergraduate Students
Undergraduates who are readmitted or admitted (for previously non-matriculated students) to SU with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 may apply for academic
renewal, if returning after an absence of seven years (14 full fall and spring semesters). Before applying for academic renewal:
discuss academic consequences with an advisor in your school/college
if you are receiving or plan to apply for financial aid, discuss the consequences of academic renewal with a financial aid counselor
During the first semester of your re-admission or admission, complete a contract with your school/college no later than the midterm date of that semester, as published
in the Academic Calendar
Schools/colleges will review main campus students academic renewal requests at the end of the first semester. Unless otherwise noted in the table below, a
minimum semester GPA of 2.5 is required for a full-time course load with no I, F, NA, P, V, WD, or missing grades.

University College students must complete 12 credits within two years (four consecutive fall and spring semesters) and must have attained a minimum
cumulative GPA of 2.5, with no I, F, NA, P, V, WD, or missing grades.

There will be no selective review of only certain courses for flagging. If you do not meet your schools/colleges requirements for academic renewal at the time of
review, you may not petition again.
School/College Rules
Education A GPA of 3.0 is required for the first semester (full-time students) or first 12 credits (University College students).
Public Communications
Only students who have attempted no more than 30 credits or the equivalent of two full semesters may apply for
academic renewal.
Sport and Human Dynamics A GPA of 3.0 is required for the first semester (full-time students) or first 12 credits (University College students).
Visual and Performing Arts A 2.8 GPA is required for the first semester (full-time students) or first 12 credits (University College students).
ACADEMIC RENEWAL AND THE TRANSCRIPT
If academic renewal is approved, your GPA will be reset to 0.00, and the GPA calculation will resume with the courses you take after readmission or admission. The
courses you took before academic renewal will still appear on your transcript, but will be flagged (see Flagging) to remove them from all credit and grade
calculations. The notation (ar) will reflect that flagging was done under the academic renewal policy.
Your prior coursework will be evaluated in the same manner as transfer credit. Only prior coursework with a grade of C or higher (no C-, D, or F grades) that can be
applied toward your degree program will be accepted as a block of credits from your prior record. Grades in these courses will not calculate toward your GPA. If you
subsequently transfer to another SU school/college, prior coursework will be re-evaluated.
If you elect academic renewal, then to be considered for University honors at graduation you must complete 60 credits of SU letter-graded courses that can be calculated
in your GPA.
Academic Standing

Minimum GPA To Continue Graduate Work
Graduate Students
Graduate students must earn at least a 2.8 GPA in the first 30 credits of graduate study at Syracuse University. The academic unit may recommend that the Graduate
School cancel matriculation if this requirement is not met.
Class Standing
Undergraduate Students
Class standing is determined by the number of SU-earned credits, plus credits accepted for transfer credit and other types of external credit, e.g., AP examination. Class
standing is calculated as follows:
Class Total Cumulative Credits
Freshman 0-23
Sophomore 24-53
Junior 54-83
Senior 84 and above
Academic Probation
Any student who has a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 and for whom a more serious action is not appropriate may be placed on probation. You may also be placed on
probation if your semester GPA falls below 2.0, or if you fail to meet other criteria for good academic standing as established by your school/college. Each
school/college reviews its students records and determines the appropriate probation actions to be applied from the categories listed below. School/college offices can
provide more detailed information about academic policies.
Schools/colleges send probation letters that explain the reason for the action, such as low cumulative GPA or number of Incompletes, and specify the conditions under
which good academic standing can be regained.
The probation categories are described below, and include College Probation; Probation, One-Semester Trial; and Academic Suspension. Schools/colleges may:
16
apply any one of the categories at any time, depending on school/college policy and individual student records; categories are not necessarily applied
sequentially

apply an action more than once to the same student

College Probation
This action applies to a student who has a cumulative average above 2.0, but who fails to meet other school/college criteria for good standing. These criteria include the
following:
School/College Rules
Architecture

Semester GPA below 2.0 with cumulative GPA above 2.0; or excessive NAs, Incompletes, or other failure to make normal
progress toward a degree.
Probation, One-Semester Trial
If your school/college determines that you have serious deficiencies in progress toward your degree requirements, usually including a cumulative GPA below 2.0, the
school/college may impose a one-semester trial specifying that certain requirements be met by the end of the term. Failing to meet these requirements may result in
suspension. Each school/colleges standards are available at the school/college undergraduate office.
Ineligible To Continue
If your school/college sets specific conditions for continuing registration, this action may be applied to cancel early registration and/or prevent participation in
registration for new coursework until the requirements are met. It may also apply in situations where full-time status is no longer allowed, but part-time status is
permitted. A student who is ineligible to continue may have a GPA either above or below 2.0.
Academic Suspension
Academically suspended students are officially withdrawn from the University. Students face academic suspension for failing to meet the conditions established by any
previous probation action or for seriously departing from standards required for good standing. GPA may be either above or below 2.0 at the time of suspension. If a
suspension action is taken, the school/college will send a letter:
specifying the reason for the action
explaining appeal procedures
The next semesters registration will be cancelled or prevented, and future semester registrations wont be allowed unless:
you have successfully appealed your suspension; or
you have been accepted to a new school/college as an internal transfer; or
you have been readmitted to the school/college that suspended you (See Leave of Absence, Withdrawal, and Readmission).
Advanced Credit Examinations
Advanced Credit (AC) examinations provide matriculated students the opportunity to be tested on, and to receive credit for, knowledge and skills already achieved that
would be covered by regular SU courses. You must petition the appropriate academic department for approval to take an AC exam; the department is under no
obligation to approve the request. The exams are administered and graded by faculty. Each Advanced Credit exam carries a fee in addition to regular tuition, at an
amount published each year in Tuition, Fees, and Related Policies. For undergraduates, your school/college may accept a maximum of 30 semester hours from a
combination of SU Advanced Credit exams and any other credit (e.g., AP exams, experiential learning). Advanced Credit exams
must be associated with SU course subjects and numbers
are not appropriate for all courses, such as Selected Topics and those that require a Proposal for Independent Study
may not be applied to the residency requirement (see Residency Requirement)
may not be taken in a course for which credit was already earned
are not considered as retaken courses for flagging purposes [see Flagging (Removing courses from calculation toward the degree and GPA)"]
will be removed from the official transcript if an equivalent course is subsequently taken at SU and passed
17
are recorded on the transcript by credit hours and grade, and contribute to total credit hours earned and cumulative degree GPA
Graduate Students
Graduate students who wish to obtain credit toward advanced degrees for knowledge in a field essential to their programs of study but acquired by means that preclude
formal transfer to SU may petition for an Advanced Credit examination in a course or courses covering the relevant area of study. The petition requesting an Advanced
Credit examination must state the basis for the belief that the student has attained competence at the graduate level in the specified academic area and be accompanied
by a statement from the students department supporting the petition and accepting responsibility for preparing and administering the examination. The minimum
passing grade for a graduate AC Exam is B.
Undergraduate Students
Approval of your academic advisor, the appropriate department chair, and your home school/college is required in order to take an Advanced Credit examination. You
must earn a grade of C or higher to pass the exam. AC exams count toward the 30 semester hours maximum credits that will be accepted from a combination of AC
exams, experiential learning, extra-institutional credit, and external examination programs toward your total number of credits required for graduation.
Attendance In Classes
Attendance in classes is expected in all courses at SU. Class attendance requirements and policies concerning nonattendance are established by the instructor(s) of each
class.
Competency And Proficiency Examinations
Advanced standing, exemption, or placement examinations may be given by certain departments, e.g., mathematics; English; and languages, literatures, and linguistics,
to determine where students should be placed in a certain sequence of courses.
No credit is given for these examinations, and no requirements are waived by successfully completing placement or advanced standing examinations. You may,
however, be excused from prerequisite courses on the basis of these examinations.
Consortium Agreements
SU has formal consortia arrangements through SU Abroad, the Consortium for Culture and Medicine, and the Graduate Scholar Exchange Program. Except for these,
SU does not allow students to enroll at other institutions under an individual consortium arrangement, nor does it award financial aid to students who choose to enroll at
other institutions, e.g., while on a leave of absence.
If you are a matriculated SU student who wants to study abroad through a program not directly administered or sponsored by SU Abroad, contact the SU Abroad office
at least three months before the start of the program to request consideration for a consortium agreement, which is required if you want to have the classes you take
abroad count toward your degree program and continue to receive financial aid during your overseas program.
If approved for a consortium agreement, credit earned through such programs is generally treated as SU credit. Your school/college and/or department will determine
acceptable courses and how they will be applied.

Credit
The unit of credit at SU is the semester hour. Each semester hour represents one class period of 50 minutes per week for 15 weeks, or the equivalent. Laboratory or field
courses require a minimum of two or three class periods a week for each credit hour.
This section of the Academic Rules describes certain options for credit that may apply toward some students degree and certificate programs. Transfer credit,
experiential learning, external exams, and restricted graduate credit are among the examples described below. See the Course Catalog and confer with your academic
advisor for a complete overview of credit requirements needed to fulfill your degree or certificate requirements.
Restricted Graduate Credit
Restricted graduate credit is credit earned at the graduate level by students who arent matriculated in a graduate program. Restricted credit must be converted to
graduate credit in order to be included in a graduate degree or certificate program. All coursework taken as a non-matriculated student automatically calculates toward
the graduate GPA unless a petition to flag the courses is submitted to and approved by the Graduate School, after matriculation in a degree or certificate program.
Conversion To Graduate Credit
You may apply to have up to 12 credits of restricted graduate credit converted to graduate credit if you meet all of the following conditions:
you become matriculated in a graduate degree or certificate program
18
your overall average in all SU graduate work is at least 2.8
you earned a B or better in each course
your courses are part of a degree or certificate program approved by your department
you have completed your coursework within the time limit allowed for the degree
Restricted graduate credit earned during the term in which you become matriculated in the Graduate School is converted automatically to graduate credit.
School/College Rules
Education
In the higher education degree program, no more than six hours of restricted graduate credit may be converted to graduate
credit. In all other graduate degree programs, no more than nine hours of restricted graduate credit may be converted to graduate
credit.
Management No more than six credits of restricted credit may be converted to graduate credit.
Counting Credits Towards Multiple Degrees And/Or Programs
NYSED limits the counting of credits toward multiple degrees and/or programs to protect the academic integrity of each degree and/or program. When a student is
counting credits towards multiple degrees and/or programs, the following restrictions apply:
If you are counting credits towards multiple degrees and/or programs in the same or closely related field(s) and the coursework makes up an integral part of the
degrees and/or programs, course credit may be double counted to fulfill degree requirements.
1.
In no instance shall course credit be counted more than twice in satisfaction of the requirements for multiple degrees and/or programs. 2.
In order to earn two or more distinct Master's degrees or a Master's and doctoral degree, you must earn a minimum of 80 percent of the combined total of SU
credits normally required for each of the degrees. Two 30-credit Master's degrees will not be awarded for fewer than 51 credits, nor will three 30-credit
Master's degrees be awarded for fewer than 75 credits. Credits counted toward two or more distinct Master's degrees must form an integral part of each
degree. You must be admitted to the degree program in each of the awarding academic units.
3.
Certificates of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) (excluding programs registered as preparing individuals for a teaching certificate, educational leadership certificate,
or a professional license issued by the Sate Education Department). C.A.S. programs may be part of an existing degree program or a stand-alone program of
study. In cases in which two or more C.A.S.s are to be earned by one student, the minimum number of credits earned by the student must be at least 80
percent of the combined total of SU credits required for each certificate. However, two 12-credit C.A.S.s may not be awarded for less than 21 credits. In cases
where the C.A.S. curriculum is part of another degree program, and you are admitted to that other degree program, credit may be double counted for the
C.A.S. and other degree, subject to the above restrictions.
4.
Note: These restrictions do not apply to joint/dual programs with the College of Law or the Master of Philosophy degrees.
SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and SU concurrent study: SU and SUNY ESF have agreements that encourage concurrent master's study in
environmental science and forestry with SU degree work in public communications, law, management, public administration, and certain education programs. Other
SU fields my also qualify. Contact your school/college, the Graduate School and SUNY ESF for specific requirements and procedures regarding concurrent degree
work.
Undergraduate And Graduate Coursework
Undergraduate Students
If you are an undergraduate (matriculated or non-matriculated) who would like to take graduate-level courses at SU that would apply toward a future SU graduate
degree or certificate program, you must petition the Graduate School to register for these courses. Such courses will earn restricted graduate credit until you register
as a matriculated SU graduate student.
After you matriculate, and with Graduate School approval of a petition, the graduate credits earned while an undergraduate will be transferred into your graduate record
as a block of credit hours. These credits will not be applied toward the SU undergraduate degree. They will be flagged on the undergraduate section of the transcript and
removed from calculations there. Under no circumstances will grades earned in these flagged courses calculate in either the undergraduate or graduate GPA.
No credit that is applied to the undergraduate degree may be applied also to the graduate degree, unless such double-counting falls under the explicit articulation of a
combined bachelors and masters degree program that has been approved by and registered with the New York State Education Department.
Calculation Of Credit Hours
The following calculate toward cumulative credit and grade totals on your academic transcript:
letter grades and Incompletes
a course in which a "Pass (P)" was earned is included in total earned credits but not grade point calculations
Calculations made by schools/colleges to determine progress toward degree requirements may exclude courses appearing on your transcript that are not applicable to
the specific degree program. As noted under the flagging rules, courses may be removed from calculation under certain circumstances.

Undergraduate Students
With the approval of your home school/college, you may apply as free elective credit up to six credit hours of college-level remedial and developmental courses
(numbered 000-099) in which a passing grade was earned toward your degree requirements.
Flagging (Removing Courses From GPA, Credit And Degree Calculation)
Undergraduate and graduate students may petition to have certain courses flagged, which excludes them from GPA and semester and cumulative credit hour totals.
The flag symbol is noted on the official transcript. Flagging a course may affect financial aid eligibility e.g., flagging a course in which a passing grade was earned may
alter the calculation of satisfactory progress. Once your degree has been awarded, you may not request to flag courses taken before the degree date.
Flagging Courses That Have Been Retaken
To qualify for flagging, both the original and subsequent course must be taken at SU and have the same course subject and number. A school/college may prohibit you
from flagging a lower level course after you have completed with a passing grade a higher level course in the same subject.

If a course is no longer offered under the same subject and/or number, you may petition the school/college in advance to retake the course most nearly equivalent in
content and level. Certification by the academic department that the course is a close equivalent--not just a substitution for the degree requirement--is required.
19

Except as noted in TABLE A, only the credits and grade received in the second course will count.
Both the original course and the retaken course remain on your transcript.
A course is repeatable if it may be retaken and counted more than once toward fulfillment of degree requirements. You may not flag courses designated as
repeatable, since course content is different each time the course is offered. Exceptions:

Selected Topics courses (with numbers ending in 00) may be flagged if they have exactly the same title
Proposal for Independent Study courses may be flagged when the course subject, number, description, and requirements are the same
Advanced Credit exams or courses that merely substitute for a degree requirement are not considered to be retaken courses for flagging purposes.
Graduate Students
You may petition your academic unit and the Graduate School to flag the following:
undergraduate or remedial courses that are not part of your graduate program, such as English as a Second Language
courses taken while non-matriculated
when officially changing degree programs, courses that dont apply to your new degree program under certain conditions. Contact your department for further
information.

when retaking a course in which you earned a grade of C+, C, C- or F, with the approval of your academic unit and the Graduate School. Graduate courses
may retaken only once. (Note that unless flagging is requested, both the original course and the retaken course will be included in calculations.)

Undergraduate Students
TABLE A Retaken Courses And Flagging Rules
School/College Retaken Course Rule Flagging Rule
Architecture Any course in which a student has received a
grade of C, D, or F may be retaken. No
Architecture course may be registered for more
than three times.
The higher of the two grades is counted in the GPA.
Arts and Sciences Students may retake a course for grade
improvement.
The higher of the two grades is counted in the GPA. For
courses retaken more than once, the two earlier grades may
be flagged by petition. Flagging, especially when excessive,
may have academic consequences. Students are encouraged
to speak to their home school/college. Flagging of repeated
courses is initiated by the school/college at the conclusion
of the semester in which the course was repeated.
Education A requirement may be retaken more than once by
advance petition only. Courses may be attempted
only three times.
The higher of the two grades is counted in the GPA. For
courses retaken more than once, the two earlier grades may
be flagged by petition.
Engineering and Computer Science Any course with a D or F may be retaken twice. If a student takes a course a third time, only the third grade
will be used to calculate the GPA. If a student takes a
course a fourth time, the third and fourth grades will be
used to calculate the GPA.
Information Studies Any course with a D or F may be retaken once.
Retaking a course more than once or retaking a
course in which a C- or higher grade was earned
requires advance approval by petition.
The higher of the two grades is computed in the GPA.
Management Students may retake a course for grade
improvement. Normally, students may not retake
a course after completing a more advanced
course in the same area. Students should check
with an advisor in the Undergraduate Office
before retaking a course.
The most recent grade is used to calculate the GPA,
regardless of which grade is higher. Management grades
can be flagged only once.
Public Communications Public Communications courses in which a
passing grade was earned may not be retaken.
A grade of F will be flagged only once for a retaken course.
If a student retakes a Public Communications course in
which a passing grade was previously earned, the second
grade will be flagged.
Sport and Human Dynamics School of Social Work. Any courses with a D or
F may be retaken once. A requirement may be
retaken more than once by advance petition only.
Grades in courses can only be flagged once.
University College, Bachelor of Professional Studies Required LGL courses with grades of D or F
must be retaken for credit. Individual LGL
courses may be retaken only once.
LGL courses with a grade of D or F will be flagged only
once.
Visual and Performing Arts Any academic elective course in which a student
has received a grade of D or F may be retaken. A
studio course may be retaken only when a grade
of F has been received.
The higher of two grades is computed in the GPA.
Flagging Courses When Changing School/College Or Program
Undergraduate Students
If you are admitted through intra-university transfer into a different SU school/college, you may petition to flag courses you already completed that cant be included in
your new program. You must first meet minimum criteria for admission to the new school/college or program, and can only petition your new school/college to flag
courses after admission. If you change programs within your school/college, in rare instances when the new program requires preparation distinctly different from that
of the former program, you may petition to have courses flagged that cant be applied toward your new program. Simply changing majors does not qualify for flagging.
Arts and Sciences: Only D and F grades in non-Arts and Sciences courses that were required for the previous program may be flagged at the students request. A, B, C,
and I grades in such courses cannot be flagged.
20

Education and Management: If you transfer into either of these schools and elect to flag courses that do not apply toward your new program, then you must flag all
courses that dont apply.
Flagging Graduate-Level Courses Taken As An Undergraduate
If you petition to take graduate-level courses that will not apply to your undergraduate degree, you may also petition to flag those courses so that they dont calculate in
your undergraduate record. If the courses are subsequently accepted as restricted graduate credit toward a graduate program at SU, then they will automatically be
flagged on the undergraduate transcript. In that case, credits earned in the courses will calculate toward the graduate degree requirements, but the grades will calculate
in neither the undergraduate nor the graduate GPA.
Flagging Courses Under Academic Renewal Policy
See "Academic Renewal"
Transfer Credit
In compliance with New York State Department of Education regulations, SU only awards transfer credit for courses that are an integral part of an SU degree program,
as determined by the appropriate SU academic unit.

Graduate Students
At the graduate level, schools/colleges and departments may assess and accept credit
earned at another regionally accredited graduate school in the United States or at an institution equivalently recognized in another country;
earned in a course in which the grade earned was at least a B. Coursework completed on a pass/fail basis is not eligible for transfer, unless approved by both
the academic unit dean and the Dean of the Graduate School; and

that is an integral part of the degree program, and must be evaluated and approved by the academic department and the Graduate School.
Transfer credit should be evaluated and posted no later than the end of the semester preceding the semester in which coursework for the degree will be completed. All
coursework applied toward a degree must comply with all time limitations.
A maximum of 30 percent of credits counted toward a masters degree at SU may be transferred from another institution provided that the credits are an integral part of
the degree program. Transfer credit can comprise no more than 50 percent of the doctoral coursework. This rule does not apply to dual degree programs and to degree
programs that are offered jointly with another university.
School/College Rules
Information Studies
Up to 15 credits from National Defense University may be applied to the M.S. program in information management.

Credits completed in the information systems managers and telecommunications systems engineers programs at the
Army Signal Center School of Information Technology may be applied to the M.S. in information management, and
the M.S. in telecommunications and network management.
Management
Students may transfer a maximum of six credits of elective courses into their M.B.A. or M.S. program from another
AACSB-accredited business school. Students must file a petition and receive approval prior to taking the course.
Grades from these courses will not be transferred, nor will they count toward the GPA. A grade of B or better is
required in the transfer course.
Maxwell Up to 12 credits from Tsinghua University may be applied to the executive master of public administration.
Public Communications
A maximum of 20 percent of credits counted toward the following masters degrees in the S.I. Newhouse School of
Public Communications may be transferred: advertising; arts journalism; broadcast and digital journalism;
communications management; documentary film and history; magazine, newspaper & online journalism; media
management; photography; public relations; and television, radio & film.
Undergraduate Students
Generally, schools/colleges may consider accepting transfer credit from:
institutions recognized by
regional accrediting commissions
national accrediting bodies
professional organizations that accredit free-standing professional schools and programs within multipurpose institutions
*

institutions that are recognized candidates for accreditation

recognized foreign tertiary-level institutions, chartered and authorized by their national governments, generally through the Ministry of Education
a formal transfer articulation agreement
*
For students enrolled in an accredited program at a non-accredited institution, only courses within the discipline that is accredited will be considered for transfer
credit. General education and other courses from the institution will not be considered.
However, not all schools/colleges accept credit from all of these sources.
SU grants transfer credit based on course content, the quality of your performance, and applicability to your program. Transfer credit is evaluated only for the degree or
certificate program to which youre admitted, and may change if you move into a different SU program. A re-evaluation of transfer credit may also affect your financial
aid, especially if your class standing alters. If all of your previous work isnt accepted for transfer, you may enter SU at a different class level than you had attained at
your prior institution. A maximum of 90 credits of transfer credit or a combination of transfer credit and any other credit (e.g., AP exams, experiential learning) will be
accepted.
If you plan to take courses at another institution that will transfer back into your SU degree, obtain your home school/colleges approval before enrolling. If you take
courses at a two-year college
before junior standing (54 credits), you may take approved coursework during a summer session or while on leave of absence.
after attaining junior standing, the only courses that will be approved will be those that fulfill lower-division requirements or free electives.
a maximum of 66 credits from a combination of credit from a two-year college and any other credit (e.g., AP exams, experiential learning) will be accepted.
School/College Rules
21
Management A minimum of 27 credit hours of required Management courses must be taken at SU.
Public Communications
No more than 12 hours of communications course credits earned in another college or university may be accepted toward
meeting the requirements of a major program of study in the School of Public Communications.
University College
No more than 12 credit hours earned in another college or university may be accepted toward meeting the program of study
requirements in the bachelor of professional studies degree. No more than nine credit hours earned in another college or
university may be accepted to the LGL credit certificate program requirements. No more than three credit hours earned in
another college or university may be accepted to the organizational leadership credit certificate program requirements.
How Transfer Credit Applies Toward Your Degree
All SU transfer credit is measured in semester hours. If your prior institution used a different credit hour system, credits accepted for transfer are converted to semester
hours, e.g., credit from institutions on the quarter-hour system is converted to semester hours using the formula of one quarter-hour equals 2/3 semester hour. Grades
dont transfer and do not affect your SU cumulative GPA. If you subsequently take a course at SU for which you had previously received transfer credit, the transfer
credit will be removed.
Additional transfer credit rules
Grades of C- or below will not be accepted.
Pass grades must be certified to be at a C level or higher. Pass grades will normally be accepted only as elective credit.
Second undergraduate degrees carry additional restrictions; contact your school/college for details.
Arts and Sciences students are not given transfer credit until their cumulative average is 2.0 or higher.
For students on academic probation in Public Communications and Visual and Performing Arts, transfer credit will not be given until the cumulative GPA is
2.0 or higher.

If you were previously matriculated at SUNY ESF, then subsequently matriculated at SU, coursework taken while an ESF student, including SU courses, is
treated and evaluated as transfer credit from ESF. Such SU courses do not appear or calculate on the Syracuse University transcript, except as they are
included in a block of transfer credits, i.e., total credit hours accepted from SUNY ESF.

Credit For Extra-Institutional And Experiential Learning, And External Examination Programs
Following University rules and program requirements, SU schools/colleges and graduate departments may award credit for various external examinations and other
types of extra-institutional and experiential learning. Such credit is evaluated only for the degree or certificate program to which you are admitted, and may change if
you move into a different SU program. Credit is evaluated using the guidelines of the American Council on Education and the Council for Advancement of Experiential
Learning, as well as our own institutional assessment. See TABLES B, C, and D below for a listing of undergraduate-level exams that may qualify. For examinations or
subject areas not covered in the listing below, contact your school/college or appropriate department to determine whether credit may be considered or if you are a
candidate for an Advanced Credit Examination. Also contact your school/college to discuss other types of non-institutional experience, such as the military, business, or
government, which may qualify for credit.
Undergraduate credit may also be awarded for some matriculation examinations and post-secondary educational experiences offered in other countries. Decisions about
awarding such credit are made by the students school/college during the admissions process.
Portfolio Review
Credit may be granted for studio work applicable toward professional degrees in the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the School of Architecture upon
departmental evaluation of the portfolio.

Undergraduate Students
A maximum of 30 credits from any combination of extra-institutional and experiential learning, external examinations, and SU Advanced Credit exams may
be accepted.

A maximum of 66 credits from a combination of credit from a two-year college and any other credit (e.g., AP exams, experiential learning) will be accepted.
If you subsequently take a course at SU for which credit was awarded for extra-institutional, experiential learning, or external examination programs, that
credit will be removed.

External Examinations
Undergraduate Students
College Board Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Your home school/college uses the rules in effect at the time you matriculate at SU in order to evaluate and accept degree-program credit for AP and CLEP exams. The
academic unit with principal responsibility for the examination subject recommends the minimum score for credit and SU course equivalency; however, your home
school/college may have higher score requirements and/or different qualifications, both for awarding credit and meeting degree requirements.

Graduate Degree And Certificate Programs

Graduate Degree Programs
Master's Degrees
Program of Study
A matriculated student who is studying for the masters degree must satisfactorily complete a program of study of not less than 30 credits that is approved by the
academic unit and filed with the Graduate Degree Certification Office.

Time to Degree
You must meet all requirements for the masters degree within seven years from the time you register for the first course to be used in your masters degree program. If
you do not meet this requirement, you may petition your school/college for reinstatement of credits that were completed outside the seven-year timeframe.
Comprehensive Examinations
Your school/college will determine the nature of any comprehensive examination or examinations that apply toward your masters degree. Such exams may or may not
be directly related to the content of particular courses you have taken.
Oral Examination
An oral examination committee consists of four voting members that include a chairperson, thesis or area of study advisor, and other specialists in your subject area.
The school/college will conduct the examination in the manner it considers most effective; contact your department and school/college for specific procedures and
guidelines. The committee chair will preside over the exam and ensure that department/school/college and Graduate School/Graduate Degree Certification Office
regulations and declared policies are followed.
Your oral examination committee will prepare a report that reflects one of the following statuses: pass; pass with minor revisions (generally editorial); pass with major
revisions (substantive); not pass. You are entitled to an explanation from the committee concerning the results of the examination.
Doctoral Degrees
Requirements for the doctoral degree emphasize mastery of a field of knowledge, familiarity with allied areas, facility in the use of research techniques, and
responsibility for the advancement of knowledge. The degree is given in recognition of high attainments in your chosen field, as shown by the completion of specified
courses and by the production of a dissertation demonstrating the ability to carry out independent investigation that advances knowledge in the field.

Program of Study
Each academic unit determines, consistent with its approved and registered curriculum, the number of coursework credits and the number of dissertation credits that will
constitute your program of study, including that portion of the work for the masters that will form an integral part of the doctoral program. Minor courses included in
the program of study should support the total program, rather than be restricted to academic unit boundaries.
Qualifying Examinations
You must pass a qualifying examination no later than the end of the term prior to the term in which you expect to complete doctoral. degree requirements. The
qualifying exam will be set by your academic unit, and may be in oral or written form, or both. You must demonstrate acceptable competence in any required languages
or research tools as designated by your program before being admitted to the qualifying exam. If the results of this examination are unsatisfactory, you may be granted a
second exam after completing a semester of additional study.
Advancement to Candidacy/Time to degree
You will be admitted to candidacy when you have completed all requirements for the degree except for the dissertation and the final oral exam. The maximum time
allowed to reach candidacy status is seven years from the term you matriculated into the doctoral program. Your academic unit must notify the Graduate Degree
Certification Office when you have reached this status before the end of the term in which the status is effective. The maximum time for completion of a doctoral degree
is five years from the end of the semester in which you are admitted to candidacy.
Dissertation advisor
A faculty member from your department or program will be identified as your dissertation advisor. The dissertation advisor should be an SU tenured or tenure-track
faculty member in the program of study of your dissertation. In exceptional cases, where faculty emeriti or others with outstanding qualifications in your area of
research will direct the dissertation, a member of the SU faculty from your academic unit must jointly oversee the preparation of your dissertation.
Oral Examination
The oral examination committee:
The academic unit appoints a six-member oral examination committee, including a chair, at the recommendation of your dissertation advisor, and with the concurrence
of the Graduate School.
The committee chair:
should have an affinity for the field in which the dissertation was written;
represents the Dean of the Graduate School;
typically will be an SU tenured or tenure-track faculty member from outside the department or program in which the dissertation was written; and
alternatively, may be either a faculty emeritus or College of Law faculty member.
Your dissertation advisor will be a committee member. Other committee members should be tenured or tenure-track SU faculty members. One external member can be
included, based on subject-matter expertise; however, this committee member cant be a personal acquaintance. You must petition to include more than one external
committee member.
The oral examination:
Prior to the exam, the Graduate Degree Certification Office must verify that youve been admitted to candidacy, and that all supporting documentation has been filed.
Your dissertation advisor and academic unit will determine the scheduling of the exam with the approval of the Graduate Degree Certification Office. Each
school/college is free to conduct oral exams in the manner considered to be most effective.
The chair of the oral examination committee has several responsibilities:
26
Represent the Dean of the Graduate School.
Preside over the exam and ensure that academic unit and Graduate School policies and regulations are followed.
Advise the committee as to general exam and questioning procedures.
Participate in the questioning of the candidate.
Vote on the outcome, and secure the committees vote.
Submit a written report to the Dean of the Graduate School that includes:
the result of the vote, with signatures of approval and appropriate comments;
comments on the quality of the examination; and
recommendations for any procedural improvements.
Further oral exam considerations:
Exam time and place are publicly announced; graduate students and faculty are encouraged to attend and participate, but will not be allowed to vote.
If a committee member must be absent from the oral defense:
that committee member must submit questions and/or comments in writing to the chair in advance; and
the Graduate School must approve any committee substitutions after the exam has been scheduled, or if more than one committee member will be
absent.

Voting and results:

Voting will be held in executive session of the committee.
All committee members, including the chair, vote equally.
In order to pass the exam, a majority of the committee must vote favorably; members may make their approval conditional on changes to the dissertation.
The committees report will recommend one of the following outcomes:
pass
pass with minor revisions (generally editorial)
pass with major revisions (substantive)
not pass
You are entitled to an explanation from the committee concerning the outcome of the defense.
Graduate Certificate Programs
Certificates of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) (excluding programs registered as preparing individuals for a teaching certificate, educational leadership certificate, or a
professional license issue by the State Education Department): A matriculated student who is studying for a C.A.S. must satisfactorily complete a program of study
of not less than 12 credits that is approved by the academic unit and filed with the Graduate Degree Certification Office. C.A.S. programs may be part of an existing
degree program or a stand-alone program of study.
Eligibility requirement To be awarded a C.A.S., a student must be matriculated in the certificate program for at least one semester.
Undergraduate Degree And Certificate Programs

Undergraduate Degree Programs
Within the bachelor's degree there are four types of degree programs available to undergraduate students at SU: single degree programs, single degree programs with
double majors, single degree programs with dual majors, and combined degree programs. Generally, students must complete a prescribed course of study and minimum
number of credit hours to complete a degree program.
TABLE F Undergraduate Degree Programs
Type Requirements Notes School/College Information
Single Degree Program
A single degree program
consists of one major in one
school/college.

A single degree program requires the
completion of all degree requirements
within one school/college, including
the requirements of one major
program of study in that
school/college.
One degree is conferred and one diploma
awarded.
Students are enrolled in one school/college.
Single Degree Program with Double Major
A single degree program with
double major consists of two
major programs of study
simultaneously pursued (a) in
the same school/college or (b)
in two separate schools/colleges
of the University.
A single degree program with double
major requires completion of all
degree requirements within one
school/college and the requirements
for each major.
One degree, certified by the home
school/college, is conferred. One diploma,
signed by the dean of the home
school/college, is awarded.
Students are enrolled in one school/college. In
some schools/colleges, completion of double
majors, especially when the second major is
outside the school/college, may require more
than the minimum credits required for
graduation. Double majors are available only in
some schools/colleges.
Single Degree Program with Dual Majors
A single degree program with
dual majors consists of two
major programs of study
simultaneously pursued in two
separate schools/colleges of the
University.
A single degree program with dual
majors requires completion of all
degree requirements in both
schools/colleges, as well as
requirements for a major in each
school/college or one dually approved
major.
Upon certification by both schools/colleges,
one degree, the degree associated with the
home school/college major, is conferred. One
diploma is awarded, signed by the dean of
each school/college. Students who wish to
pursue other dual programs that have not
been formally established must obtain the
prior written permission of both deans. In
cases where the academic rules of two
schools/colleges conflict, the policies of the
home school/college take precedence.
Completion of some dual programs,
Students are enrolled in two schools/colleges,
with one designated as the home school/college.
Schools/Colleges that have approved single-
degree programs with dual majors are listed in
Table G.
Architecture Single degree programs with dual
majors are not available


Arts and Sciences Students enrolled in a single
27
particularly those with more than two majors,
may require additional credit hours.
degree programs with a dual major must earn a
minimum of 90 credits in Arts and Sciences. In
most cases this will mean that students enrolled
in any Arts and Sciences dual program may
count only credit earned in Arts and Sciences
and the other school/college of enrollment
toward the total credit hours required for the
degree. Coursework taken in any other school/
college that does not count toward the 90 Arts
and Sciences credit-hour requirement may be
considered excess credit and will appear on the
transcript and will contribute to the cumulative
GPA, but it will not count toward the credit
hours required for the degree.

Engineering and Computer Science Completion
of a second major within Engineering and
Computer Science requires completion of all
requirements for each major in addition to the
requirements of the dual school/college.
Combined Undergraduate Degree Program
A combined degree program
consists of two degree programs
with distinct degree titles that
recognize competencies in two
essentially different areas
pursued simultaneously in the
same school/college or two
different schools/colleges.
Concurrent admission to a second
undergraduate degree program is
constrained by the New York State
Education Departments restrictions
regarding second undergraduate
degrees and review by the University
registrar.

Students must meet admissions
requirements of both degree
programs.

For programs involving two
schools/colleges, students must fulfill
degree requirements in both
schools/colleges.

Students in combined programs must
complete 25 percent additional work
beyond the normal requirements for
one of the degrees (this may be either
the degree with the higher or lower
credit-hour requirements, based on the
school's/college's determination), e.g.,
30 more credit hours for a 120-credit
hour degree.

The additional credits must be SU
credit as defined under the Residency
Requirement. Transfer and other
credit may be accepted only if the
second degree requires more than 25
percent additional credits, and such
credit is applied in excess of the 25
percent additional credits.
Two degrees and two diplomas are conferred.
The combined programs may be two
undergraduate degree programs or an
undergraduate and a graduate degree
program. See Table H for a list of combined
undergraduate-graduate degree programs.

Students pursuing a B.A. degree will not be
admitted to a second B.A. degree program in
the same school/college. Approval for
admission to a second B.S. degree program
requires a significant difference in overall
degree requirements between the two
programs.

The awarding of the second degree may be
either concurrent with, or subsequent to, the
awarding of the first.
Programs available as a single degree with dual
majors (see Table G) are not available as
combined degree programs.

There is one formally established undergraduate
combined program:

Arts and Sciences and Engineering and
Computer Science B.A. (or B.S., by petition) in
Arts and Sciences and B.S. in Engineering and
Computer Science.

Students who wish to pursue other combinations
of undergraduate degree programs must obtain
the prior written permission of both deans.

* Students pursuing a B.S. degree in Arts and Sciences must petition the department offering the major to be formally accepted as candidates.
Second Undergraduate Degrees
If you previously earned a bachelors degree at SU or another institution, you may or may not be admissible to a second undergraduate degree program, depending on
the disciplinary and professional proximity of the completed and proposed programs. The NYS Education Department has ruled that the conferral of two bachelors
or associate degrees should be reserved as a means of recognizing that a candidate has competencies in two essentially different areas: when a second degree, as
opposed to one degree with a double major, is academically justifiable and when the second degree requires one-fourth additional work (i.e., 30 credit hours for a 120-
credit hour degree).
28
The University registrar, in consultation with the associate provost for academic programs and appropriate academic advisors, will decide whether admission to a
second undergraduate degree program is in accord with the NYS Education Departments criteria. If you earned a B.A. degree you will not be admitted to a second B.A.
degree program that falls within the same SU school/college (or comparable school/college, if the first degree was earned elsewhere), due to the significant overlap of
degree requirements. Approval for admission to a second B.S. degree program requires a significant difference in overall degree requirements between the two degree
programs. Students who meet these criteria must also meet all admissions requirements of the program to which they apply. Students whose first degree was earned at
Syracuse University must file an Application for Readmission, available from the admitting school/college office. Students with first degrees from other institutions
follow the normal admission application procedure.
A minimum of 30 credits for a second undergraduate degree must be Syracuse University credit, as defined under the Residency Requirement. Transfer and other credit
may be accepted only if the second degree requires more than 25 percent additional credits, and such credit is applied in excess of the 25 percent additional credits.
At the time of matriculation in the second undergraduate degree, any courses previously taken as a non-matriculated student at SU will be entered on the undergraduate
record, if they do not already appear there. This coursework will calculate toward credit hour and grade point totals on the undergraduate record.
The official Syracuse University transcript record for students with a prior SU undergraduate degree is cumulative, i.e., courses and grades for all undergraduate work,
regardless of the degree program to which they apply, appear on one transcript with cumulative totals. The home school/college for the second undergraduate degree
manually maintains and monitors the record of work related to the second degree. Calculations for satisfactory academic performance, honors, etc., are derived from the
school/college or departmental records and may not be reflected on the official transcript.

TABLE H Combined Undergraduate/Graduate Degree Programs
Requirements Notes School/College Information
Undergraduate/Graduate Teacher Preparation Degree Programs

Students must fully meet the combined requirements
for both degrees.
Undergraduate students are accepted in the combined
program through a two-step process: an initial
declaration, then an application prior to their first
graduate semester. Graduate status is required in the
5th year of study, for the two final semesters. Both
degrees are awarded concurrently.
Graduate courses taken in the first four years that
count toward fulfillment of graduate requirements are
removed from calculation on the undergraduate record
and transferred as a block of credits to the graduate
record, where the credits apply but grades do not
calculate toward the GPA. However, these grades
will be used in calculating the GPA for all graduate
credits toward the Master's degree, to assure that the
minimum 3.0 requirement has been met.

Arts and Sciences/Education B.A./M.S. 5-year Teacher
Preparation programs
Undergraduate and Other Non-Law Graduate Degree Program
Students must fully meet the requirements for both
degrees.
Students are accepted for graduate study after
completion of the third year of study but are not fully
matriculated as graduate students until bachelors
degree requirements have been met. The
undergraduate degree is awarded before completion of
the graduate degree. Graduate courses taken in the
fourth year of study count toward fulfillment of both
undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. The
graduate courses are included in the undergraduate
tuition and appear only on the undergraduate record,
and grades calculate only toward the undergraduate
GPA. A block of transfer credits labeled as
transferred from SU undergraduate record appears
on the graduate record, if needed, and applies credit
hours toward the graduate degree.
There are two formally established combined programs:
Engineering and Computer Science B.S. and M.S. in
Computer Science; B.S. and M.B.A.

Students who wish to pursue other combinations of
undergraduate and graduate degree programs must obtain
the prior written permission of both deans.
Undergraduate and Law Graduate Degree Program
Students must fully meet the requirements for both
degrees.
In this program, students matriculate in the law
program after completion of the third year of
undergraduate study. Courses taken in the first year of
law study count toward fulfillment of both
undergraduate and law degree requirements. They are
billed at the College of Law tuition rate and appear
only on the law record, and grades calculate only
toward the law GPA. A block of transfer credits
labeled as transferred from SU law record appears
on the undergraduate record and applies credit hours
toward the undergraduate degree. The undergraduate
degree is awarded before completion of the graduate
degree.

Other Simultaneous Pursuit of Undergraduate and Graduate Degrees

In exceptional circumstances requiring approval of the
academic department and the Graduate School,
undergraduate students may be formally accepted into
a graduate degree program prior to completion of
undergraduate degree requirements. The status of the
student, i.e., whether she/he is considered an
undergraduate- or graduate-level student, will be
determined upon acceptance to the graduate program.

29
For students who are considered to be undergraduates
until completion of undergraduate requirements,
courses which apply to the graduate degree will be
flagged on the undergraduate record to remove them
from calculation there and transferred as a block of
credit to the graduate record. For students who are
considered to be graduate students, courses taken to
fulfill undergraduate degree requirements will be
flagged on the graduate record to remove them from
calculation there and transferred as a block of credit to
the undergraduate record. In both cases, only the
credit (i.e., not grades) for the flagged courses will be
calculated on the record.
Undergraduate Certificate Programs
A matriculated student who is studying for a certificate must satisfactorily complete a program of study of not less than 12 credits that is approved by the academic unit
and by the New York State Education Department.
Degree Certification
School/college officials certify to the Registrars Office that degree and C.A.S. requirements have been completed. This process generally takes four to six weeks after
degree requirements have been completed. Degrees are awarded for the official date following the completion of degree requirements; the degree award dates fall in
May, June or July, August, and December. Only courses that are an integral part of your degree program will be credited toward graduation requirements, in compliance
with NYS Education Department requirements.
The University Senate recommends to the SU Board of Trustees the listing of candidates who will meet all requirements for degrees and certificates of advance study
by the appropriate commencement date each year
.
Note: Participating in convocation and commencement ceremonies doesnt imply that degree requirements have been completed.
You must file a diploma request through MySlice (myslice.syr.edu) no later than the beginning of your last semester of study.
Diplomas And Certificates
Diplomas are ordered after program completion has been certified by schools/colleges and posted by the Registrars Office. You will receive your diploma/certificate
four to six weeks after the certification/posting process has been completed. SU reserves the right to withhold diplomas/certificates from students who are financially
delinquent, or at the request of the Office of Judicial Affairs.
Undergraduate diplomas:
display the degree title;
display University honors and Rene Crown University Honors, when awarded;
do not list major or minor; and
are signed by the chancellor and the dean(s) of the student's school(s)/college(s).

Graduate diplomas:

Letter Grades
Undergraduate Students
You may have the option to elect a letter grade in a pass/fail-graded course. When permissible, you must select that option by the grading option deadline, and you may
not rescind the selection after the deadline.
I (Incomplete)
You may request an Incomplete if you have exceptional circumstances that prevent you from fulfilling all course requirements on time. You will need your instructors
approval, and will need to have completed enough course content to have a grade assigned based on your work to date. An Incomplete is not available if you have not
completed enough work on which to base a grade. Check with the appropriate instructor about deferred exams and any other requirements. If you take a leave of
absence or are withdrawn from the University, you cant receive Incompletes for courses in which you were registered.
Complete a Request for Incomplete Grade form, which is an agreement between you and your instructor that specifies the reasons, conditions, and time limit for
removing the Incomplete from your record. An Incomplete will calculate as an F in your GPA. As a function of the agreement, your instructor will calculate a grade for
you based on work completed to date, counting unsubmitted work as zero. This is the grade you will receive if a Removal of Incomplete Grade form is not submitted
to the Registrars Office by the appropriate deadline.

AU (Audit)
You may audit courses with instructor and department approval. You must select the audit option by the grading option deadline, and cannot rescind the selection after
the deadline. Audited courses are non-credit, do not meet any degree requirements, and arent counted toward enrollment status. Instructors may record a grading
symbol of NA instead of AU if you dont meet stated academic or attendance requirements. You will have limited access to SU library resources if you are auditing a
class and are not registered for any credit classes for the term. Courses that require a Proposal for Independent Study, studio art or applied music courses offered by the
College of Visual and Performing Arts, and University College BPS and LGL courses cant be audited.
NA (Did Not Attend And Did Not Withdraw)
An NA is applied when a student either never attends the course, or when participation ended so early in the term that there is no basis for evaluation and the student
fails to drop or withdraw. If enough work is completed to establish an evaluation, a course grade will be calculated on the basis of work submitted. Unsubmitted work
will be counted as zero. If you receive an NA for a course, you will no longer have the option of petitioning for an Incomplete or a letter grade.
P/F (Pass/Fail)
Credit is earned for courses with a P, but not with an F.
Note: Graduate students may only receive pass/fail grades for courses designated as pass/fail.
31
Undergraduate Students
You may have the option to elect a pass/fail grade for some courses. You must select this option by the grading option deadline, and you may not rescind the selection
after the deadline.
School/college-specific pass/fail rules are listed in the table below. Some additional points:
If you select a pass/fail option, grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, and D are converted to P. No grade other than P or F will be reported by the Registrars
Office.

If you choose to major in a field in which you previously took a course as pass/fail, your home school/college and the chair of the department in which you
took the course will determine whether and upon what terms the course can be used to satisfy departmental requirements.

SU Abroad students are limited to one pass/fail course each semester.

No more than 24 credit hours of courses taken pass/fail may be applied toward an undergraduate degree.
Undergraduate Students
School/College Rules
Architecture
All courses taken to fulfill the architectural professional program requirements must
receive a letter grade. Only open electives may be taken pass/fail.
Arts and Sciences Liberal Arts Core, major and minor classes cannot be taken pass/fail.
Education
Some courses must be taken pass/fail (e.g., EDU 508). These courses are not included in
the 24-credit maximum applicable to an undergraduate degree.
Engineering and Computer Science
Only free-elective courses at the 300-level and above or physical education courses may
be taken pass/fail. Students are not permitted to have more than 18 credit hours of
pass/fail electives in their complete program.
Management
Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may use the pass/fail option for one class per semester.
The course must be 300-level or higher and must be a free elective or a course from
groups I, III, IV, or V on the degree check sheet.
Public Communications
A pass/fail course may not be used to satisfy any requirement. Pass/fail courses can be
used only as free electives.
Sport and Human Dynamics
Sport Management Only non-sport management electives may be taken pass/fail.
Social Work SWK 435 and 445, Field Practicum I and II, are graded pass/fail by school
policy. With this exception, only elective courses may be taken on a pass/fail basis.
University College
Bachelor of Professional Studies students. A pass/fail course may not be used to satisfy
any requirements. Pass/fail courses can be used only as electives. A maximum of 12
credit hours of pass/fail courses may be used toward the degree program.
Visual and Performing Arts Only elective courses may be taken pass/fail. No studio courses may be taken pass/fail.
RM (Remedial)
RM courses count toward credit hours carried in a particular semester, but not toward credit hours earned for the degree.
WD (Withdrew)
After the academic drop deadline, and until the withdrawal deadline for the term, you may withdraw from a course and have a grading symbol of WD recorded on your
transcript.
Reporting Grades/Grading Symbols
Instructors are required to submit grades or appropriate grading symbols for all students in their courses. If a student has not completed all course requirements by the
time the instructor must report final grades, then the grade is determined based on work completed to date, counting unsubmitted work as zero, unless the student has
made prior arrangements to receive an Incomplete.
Missing Grades
Missing grades do not calculate toward the GPA. You may graduate with missing grades. After a degree has been certified, a missing grade may be recorded only if
your home school/college determines that you completed all coursework before the degree award date, and only the evaluation and grade submission occurred after that
date.
Changing Grades
An instructor may elect to submit a grade change after the grade has already been reported. Grade changes must be reported to the department chair, the dean of the
students home school/college, and the Registrars Office. Any or all of those offices may require an explanation of the change, and may require that additional
information or forms be provided. All changes involving grading symbols must adhere to University policies and procedures. The Registrars Office has final authority
to approve changes that involve grading symbols.
Grades may also be changed in the following circumstances:
HEOP or SSSP students who receive grades of D or F during the Summer Start program will have these grades recorded as WD on the transcript; by petition a
grade of C- may be changed to a WD.

Engineering and Computer Science students in the Summer Start program may petition to have grades of C- or lower changed to WD.
Removal Of Incomplete
Incomplete (I) grades may be removed prior to graduation in one of two ways:
complete the outstanding work specified on the Request for Incomplete Grade form by the agreed-upon date; or
32
if you fail to complete the work specified in the Request for Incomplete Grade form, the Registrars Office will post the letter grade indicated by the If not
completed statement, subject to any previous grading option that had been selected

Although you may not register for a course a second time for the purpose of removing an Incomplete grade, an instructor may require you to repeat certain elements of a
course in order to remove the Incomplete.
Incompletes and Graduation
You may graduate with outstanding Incompletes, if youve earned the required number of credits and met all degree requirements, and if your cumulative average
equals or exceeds the minimum requirements for your school/college, with the Incompletes calculated as Fs.
After your degree has been certified, a grade may replace an Incomplete only when your home school/college determines that you completed all coursework before the
degree award date, with only the evaluation and grade submission occurring after that date.
Grade Appeals
Normal Practice for Course Grade Appeals The following set of general statements represents normal practice at SU* for a student seeking resolution to a grievance of
a course grade.
The assignment of grades at SU is the responsibility of the faculty; once assigned by a member of the faculty, a grade cannot be changed without his or her
consent, except by due process as detailed below. In cases where the instructor of record is not a member of the faculty, the faculty member charged with
oversight of that instructor is ultimately responsible for the assignment of grades.
1.
A course grade is based upon the instructors professional assessment of the academic quality of the students performance on a body of work. Such
assessments are non-negotiable, and disputes about them do not constitute valid grounds for an appeal. Valid grounds can arise, e.g., when an instructor fails to
provide or implement uniform and consistent standards, or bases an assessment on criteria other than academic performance.*
2.
Unless there are issues of a personal nature, the appeal process for a grade dispute begins with the instructor of record. Failure to comply with this may be
grounds for denial of subsequent appeals. Any appeal beyond the instructor of record must be initiated in writing to the department chair before the last day of
classes of the academic year semester immediately following the one in which the aggrieved grade was received by the Registrar. This written appeal should
describe the basis for the grievance, the informal steps taken to resolve the dispute, and the remedies sought.
3.
If satisfaction is not obtained at this or any subsequent level, the appeal always moves to the next level of authority. The levels in succession are: the instructor
of record, faculty member in charge of the course, the department chair of the faculty member, the dean of the department chair.
4.
At each level of appeal, a fair and thorough hearing of all views is sought before a decision is made. This may, but need not, require a face-to-face meeting of
the parties directly involved in the dispute. A decision may be reached if both student and instructor agree. If such a decision cannot be reached, a panel
designed by the college for this purpose shall hear the case. Details of the operation and manner of selection of this panel may vary by school or college**, but
shall conform to the following guidelines:
a. The panel shall have a quorum of at least three.
b. All voting members of the panel shall be tenured faculty.
c. No member of the panel shall hear a case who has been involved in a previous stage of the appeal.
d. Membership of the panel shall be fixed and made public in a given academic year, though replacements may be made in the event of resignations.
e. Membership of the panel shall be approved by the faculty of the school or college, or by a representative group of the faculty, in each academic year.
f. The Senate Committee on Instruction shall approve the manner of selection and charge of a school or colleges panel before its first case. The committee
shall also approve any subsequent changes in the manner of selection or charge of each college or schools panel. The panel may, at its discretion, meet with
the aggrieved parties either separately or together. The decision of this panel, either to deny the students original appeal or to authorize the Registrar to change
the grade, shall be final. The panel shall inform both the student and the instructor of its decision in writing. The panel shall also summarize the case and its
outcome in a written report to the Senate Committee on Instruction. Said committee may include summary statistics on grade disputes in its final report to the
Senate.
5.
The only grounds for any further appeal shall be irregularities in the above procedures. 6.
In such cases, either party may appeal the final decision of the faculty panel to the Senate Committee on Instruction. The Senate Committee on Instruction may
either deny the appeal or insist that the procedure begin anew at the point the irregularity occurred.
7.
All stages of the appeal process shall be kept confidential to the maximum extent possible, consistent with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. 8.
* For further guidance, consult the bylaws of the individual school or college.
** These procedures do not apply for students in the College of Law.
Grade Point Average
SU grade point average (GPA) is calculated by taking the number of grade points earned and dividing by the number of credit hours carried toward the GPA. Various
GPAs, e.g. cumulative GPA and semester GPAs are calculated and used for a variety of purposes. Schools/colleges can advise about GPA calculations used to
determine satisfactory progress, etc. See TABLES I and J for grade and grade symbol listings and their associated grade point calculations. Missing grades are not
counted in GPA calculation.
Graduation
Undergraduate students must earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in order to be awarded an SU degree. Graduate students must earn a minimum average of 3.0 for
work comprising the program for the degree and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8.
Honors
The University recognizes exceptional undergraduate achievement through various honors. Certain honors are imprinted on transcripts and diplomas after degree
certification.

required for honors. Generally, physical education courses and ROTC credit are not included in calculating honors. Check with your school/college deans office to
determine how your GPA will be determined.
School/College Rules
Arts and Sciences, Information Studies, and Management
University honors is based on a minimum of 60 credit hours of
letter-graded courses taken at SU.
University College
Associates degree recipients are not eligible for University
honors.
Departmental Distinction
Students earn distinction in particular programs of study by meeting the specific criteria for distinction in that major. Departmental or program distinction recognizes
exceptional achievement that exceeds normal expectations for graduates within the program. This will be noted on the transcript after the degree has been awarded.
Internal Transfer
Graduate Students
Graduate students may change their degree program if the transfer is approved by the new program. Graduate students wishing to initiate any kind of change in degree
program, whether transferring between programs or undertaking concurrent graduate degree programs, must consult their funding sources as to the effect the proposed
change may have on their eligibility for continued funding.
Intra-University Transfer
Undergraduate Students
Students transferring to other schools/colleges within the University (intra-University transfer) must meet the admission requirements of the new school/college that
were in effect at the time of matriculation into the University. Submit internal transfer requests well before the start of the next semester to allow adequate
review/processing time. Check with the appropriate school/college undergraduate office, as intra-University transfer deadline dates vary. Until your IUT is approved,
you may not be able to register for courses in the new program. See TABLE K for school/college-specific information.
The new school/college of enrollment will re-evaluate all SU, transfer, and other credit you have received. If you were previously matriculated at SUNY ESF and took
SU courses during that time, your school/college, at its discretion, may include those SU courses in manual calculations for determination of intra-University transfer
eligibility.
Full-time students transferring to University College may register for up to 11 credit hours during the first semester after the transfer. Students registered in a main
campus school/college during the spring semester may not transfer to University College for the purpose of summer study.
TABLE K Intra-University Transfer Standards
New
School/College
Conditions
Architecture
3.0 GPA. Applicants are expected to complete one of MAT 221, MAT 285, MAT 295 or PHY 101. No midyear transfers. Interview and portfolio

transferring into the College must attend an informational session in order to obtain the application materials. These meetings are held throughout
the semester. The application deadline for acceptance for the fall semester is July 15 and Dec. 15 for the spring semester. Applicants who are
making satisfactory progress and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above will be admitted to the College. Students with a current
cumulative GPA below 3.0 should submit a letter with the application, explaining the reason(s) for prior academic problems, why they believe they
will be academically successful in the College, and what major they are interested in pursuing. Students who will have junior standing when
entering the College must include a plan of study form signed by their intended major department. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
The associate dean of advising and support will review applications. Students will be notified by email prior to the start of the semester.

with a grade of at least a B.
Information
Studies
Cumulative GPA of 3.2. Students must earn at least 15 credits in courses graded A-F at Syracuse before transferring. Transfers will normally take
place at the beginning of the sophomore year. (Depending upon available spaces, students with GPAs below 3.2 may be considered after
completion of IST 195 and IST 233 with grades of B or higher. However, there may be times when GPA requirements will be higher than 3.2 due
to space considerations.) They must also meet other criteria as determined by the faculty of the School.
Management
Applicants must earn a 3.3 cumulative GPA and 24 credits at SU, including two of the following: ECN 203, MAT 183, MAT 221, MAT 284 (or
equivalent substitutes). Additional applicants may be considered as spaces become available, beginning with the highest GPA. Students should visit
the Whitman Undergraduate Office (SOM 215) for additional information and advising.
Public
Communication
Applicants must complete a minimum of 30 graded (not P/F) credits at SU before they are eligible for internal transfer. Admission is based upon a
students cumulative Syracuse GPA. Applicants who meet the minimum credit qualifications are rank-ordered by GPA and admitted in that order,
highest to lowest, until all seats are filled. The cumulative GPA includes all courses taken at SU. The GPA required for admission varies each
semester, depending upon the number of spaces available and the number and strength of the applicants. Because Newhouse majors require a
minimum of four semesters to complete, juniors and seniors are ineligible to transfer. (A junior is defined as a student who has earned 54 credits.)
Application deadlines are Dec. 15 for spring admission and May 1 for fall admission.
Sport and Human

essay for Bandier program; interview with department chair for communication and rhetorical studies. Admission for all programs on a space
available basis.
Leave Of Absence, Withdrawal And Readmission

Leave Of Absence
If you leave the University before completing your degree requirements, you must file an Official Withdrawal/Leave of Absence form, whether or not you intend to
return to SU. Undergraduates initiate the process through the school/college undergraduate office, and graduates do so through the academic department. A leave of
absence is not available to a student who has a pending disciplinary action.
If you leave without notifying the University after the semester begins, you will continue to incur tuition, room, board, and other charges. Course registration will
remain on your transcript record, and any grades or grading symbols submitted by your instructors will also appear on your transcript.
Medical Leaves of Absence
Students leaving the University for medical and/or psychological reasons must go through the Office of Student Assistance, 306 Steele Hall, and obtain approval of
Health Services and/or the Counseling Center for a medical leave to take effect. If extraordinary circumstances exist, you may apply to the appropriate
department/school/college for retroactive approval of a medical leave of absence. This application must be made within 60 days of your last date of class attendance.
Military Leaves of Absence
Undergraduates being activated by the military should initiate a leave of absence procedure through the home school/college undergraduate office; graduate students
should contact their academic department. The deans office or academic department will advise about options to drop courses, take class standing grades, or take
Incompletes, as well as the academic implications of these options.

Withdrawal
SU will officially withdraw students who are suspended for academic or disciplinary reasons; the suspending school/college or the Division of Student Affairs will
initiate the withdrawal. A student who chooses to leave the University rather than participate in the judicial or academic integrity review process will be classified as
having been withdrawn for disciplinary reasons. The University may also withdraw students for medical reasons or for academic integrity violations. Officially
withdrawn students lose matriculation status; however, matriculation may be reinstated if all requirements for readmission are met (see Readmission/Termination of
Leave of Absence).
Enforced Medical Withdrawal An enforced medical withdrawal may be imposed in response to behavior that has its basis in a psychological or other medical condition
including, but not limited to, situations in which a student fails to attend and participate actively in an appropriate assessment, educational program, or other
intervention; and situations in which student behavior poses a significant health or safety risk to the student or others. The senior vice president and dean of student
affairs, or one or more of her/his designees will make the determination that an enforced medical withdrawal should occur, consistent with the process enumerated in
the University Judicial System Handbook.
Academic and Financial Implications of Leaves and Withdrawals For academic and financial purposes, the effective date is either the date the form is approved by the
undergraduate home school/college or the graduate students department, or the day after the end of the current semester, whichever is later.
You cant receive Incomplete grades for courses in which you were enrolled if you take a leave of absence or are withdrawn; only grades of WD or F can be recorded
on your transcript. If you register for a future semester and subsequently take a leave of absence or are withdrawn, then your registration for that semester will be
canceled.
Transcript Notation and Effective Date Leaves of absence and withdrawals will be noted by effective date on the transcript. The transcript notation for leaves of
absence is Leave of Absence-- Student Initiated, and for withdrawals, Withdrawal-- University Initiated. The transcript will be marked with violation of academic
integrity policy when an established violation results in suspension or expulsion. This designation will be permanently retained on the transcript.The notation
Discontinuation-- non-attender will appear on the records of students who do not register and who dont notify the University that they have left.
You are responsible for initiating any requests for refund, including those that result from medical leaves. See TABLE L and Tuition, Fees and Related Policies for the
complete statement of SUs policy and requirements for refunds for withdrawals and leaves of absence.

Readmission
If you plan to re-enroll at SU, you must apply for readmission. Approval of your readmission may be affected by any of the following conditions:
Your school/college and program must have available space to accommodate your inclusion.
You may need to satisfy new requirements in your academic program or even change your major, depending upon curricular changes that may have occurred
during your absence. Your school/college will determine the available options.

You must meet all outstanding SU financial obligations.

If your leave/withdrawal was conditional, you must resolve the appropriate issues and obtain readmission approval from the academic unit or office that
authorized or required your leave/withdrawal.

If you left the University without requesting an official Leave of Absence, you must follow formal readmission procedures as set by your school/college.
After youre readmitted, you may register for the upcoming semester during the regular registration period, during the schedule adjustment period prior to the start of
the semester, or on the registration day for new students at the beginning of the new semester.

Undergraduate Students
If you are applying for readmission following an academic withdrawal:
Arts and Sciences, Education, Public Communications, Sport and Human Dynamics, and Visual and Performing Arts students are eligible to apply for
readmission after one academic year from the date of an academic withdrawal

other schools/colleges allow readmission applications after one calendar year from the date of an academic withdrawal
your school/college may place you on academic probation for the first semester after you are readmitted
If you are readmitted to SU, you will regain your matriculation status, unless you are readmitted to University College as a special student.
Special Student Status After an academic dismissal, with home school/college and University College approval, you may apply for readmission and transfer to
University College as a special student. Special students are limited to a maximum registration of six credit hours in the first semester at University College. You may
apply for readmission and transfer to a main campus school/college after earning a minimum of 12-15 credits with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.
Arts and Sciences students must obtain permission from Arts and Sciences before applying for special student status through University College. This process requires
an interview and a contract.
Majors
Undergraduate Students
A major program consists of a minimum number of credit hours of junior- and senior-level courses in a formally approved program of study. The purpose of the major
is to provide depth of knowledge and competence in a subject area of special interest. You must declare a major and complete all requirements of the major in order to
earn an SU degree.
Each school/college determines the courses, number of credit hours, and other requirements for its major programs of study. You must apply for and be accepted into a
major by the beginning of your junior year. If you dont officially declare a major by the start of the registration period at the end of the first semester of your junior
year, you will be prevented from registering for the next term.
In the following schools/colleges,indication of intended major on the application for admission and/or intra-University transfer is unofficial.
School/College Notes
Arts and Sciences
There are specific procedures for being formally admitted to a major. Students declaring a major are
considered to be pursuing the B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) degree. Students who wish to pursue the B.S.
(Bachelor of Science) degree in Arts and Sciences must petition the department offering the major to be
36
formally accepted as a candidate. Of the upper-division credits counted toward the completion of a major, at
least 12 must be SU letter-graded course work.
Management, Visual and Performing Arts, University
College
There are specific procedures for being formally admitted to a major.
TABLE M Double Majors (In Single Degree Programs)
School/College Notes
Architecture Students may not have a double major.
Arts and Sciences
A maximum of six credits of coursework at the 300 level or above may overlap
among all majors and minors. For each major program, all but six credits of upper-
division coursework counted toward that major must be exclusive to that major.
Arts and Sciences students who pursue a major in another school/college must earn
a minimum of 96 credits in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Engineering and Computer Science
Completion of a second Engineering and Computer Science major within the
college requires completion of all program of study requirements for each major.
Students pursuing any combination of double majors where one or both are
Engineering and Computer Science majors must complete the Engineering and
Computer Science programs of study in their entirety.
Management
To complete a double major in Management, students complete all required
courses for each major. Courses that are applicable to multiple majors may only be
used to fulfill the requirements of one major. General Management Studies cannot
be one of the majors in a double major program for Management students. Double
majors outside Management usually require completion of additional credits.

Management majors are not available to singly enrolled students in other
schools/colleges.
Public Communications
Public Communications students may only have one major in the School of Public
Communications.

Public Communications majors are not available to singly enrolled students in
other schools/colleges.
Minors
Undergraduate Students
Minors provide a systematic opportunity to focus on an area of interest. Minors may be required as part of a degree program, or they may be selected voluntarily.
Because of limited space in high-demand courses, admission to some minors may be restricted. The proportion of liberal arts and sciences courses required for the
degree must be maintained, and minors that are too closely related to your major will not be approved. Minors require a minimum of 18 credit hours, 12 of which must
be in 300- to 400-level coursework.
School/College Rules
School/college Rules
Arts and Sciences
At least 15 of the credit hours for a minor must be SU letter-graded coursework. A maximum of six credits
of coursework at the 300 level or above may overlap among all majors and minors. For each major or minor
program, all but six credits of upper-division coursework counted toward requirements must be exclusive to
that program.
Education Minors must be declared by the end of the junior year or 6th semester of study.
Management
Normally, at least 15 of the credit hours for a minor must be SU letter-graded coursework. Exceptions are
granted by petition only.
The department or school/college offering the minor determines the requirements, and any exception to the minor requirements must be granted by petition through the
sponsoring unit.
Once your school/college has certified completion of both your degree and your minor, the minor will appear on the transcript.



Registration
You must be officially registered in order to attend classes. You may not attend, audit, be evaluated or otherwise participate in courses without being officially enrolled.
An instructor may not allow you to attend classes and/or submit work unless your name appears on the official class list or unless you are attending with the instructor's
approval for the purpose of making up an Incomplete. Registration may be prevented for financial, academic, or other reasons.
You must register for classes in the semester in which you begin work for those classes. You may not attend a class without officially registering, and then register for
the class as if it were taken in a subsequent term, either for financial reasons or for scheduling convenience. Advisors and faculty should not advise such actions, and
students are held to the policy even if such advice or permission is given. If you do not register appropriately and grades are later reported for recording on your
transcript, youll be dropped from the later course registration and retroactively registered in the term during which you actually took the course. The Bursars Office
will adjust tuition and fees to those in effect at that time.
The same rule also applies to internships taken for credit, independent study, experience credit, etc.: You must register during the semester or summer session in which
work begins. Retroactive registration is not permitted for such work done without faculty oversight.
Before you register, you will need to clear all holds. If outstanding bills are not paid by Aug. 1 for fall semester, and by Dec. 15 for spring semester, your early
registration for the next semester may be canceled and you will be unable to re-register until the semester begins. Your current semesters registration may be canceled
if you have not met the Universitys immunization requirements.
37
New students register just before the term begins. Returning students are eligible to register for the next semester during the registration period at the end of fall and
spring semesters. Part-time students register through University College or, for the School of Educations Extended Campus courses, through Extended Campus.
Adding of courses or entire registrations after the late registration and add deadline may be done by petition only.
SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and SUNY Upstate Medical University Courses: Because of the Universitys relationship with SUNY ESF and
SUNY UMU, you may take courses at those institutions with the approval of your SU school/college/academic department, subject to availability and fulfillment of any
specific requirements. Conversely, SUNY ESF and SUNY UMU students who meet course requirements may take SU courses, subject to availability and in accordance
with the rules and approval of their home institution.
Maximum Course Load (Fall And Spring)
Graduate Students
The maximum course load for graduate students is 15 credits each semester. In some part-time programs the maximum course load may be lower. Registration for
additional credits requires a petition and approval of your academic department.
Undergraduate Students
Full-time undergraduate students typically register for 12-19 credits per semester. Students in good standing in the Rene Crown University Honors Program may
register for more than 19 credits without approval of their home school/college. Other students may petition their home school/college to register for more than 19
credits. Undergraduates registering for more than 19 credit hours will be assessed the appropriate extra tuition charges, unless they qualify for an overload rate
exception.

Summer Registration
University College coordinates all summer registration for returning and visiting students. Matriculated SU students in good academic standing, as well as visiting and
non-matriculated students, are eligible to register for summer sessions. Undergraduate students who were full-time during the spring semester and who intend to register
as full-time during the fall semester may not transfer to part-time continuing education status for the summer.
Maximum Course Load (Summer)
Graduate Students
Graduate students may register for a maximum of 6 credits in a six-week session (with Maymester and Summer Session I considered as one session for this purpose),
and a maximum of 12 credits in any summer. In some part-time programs the maximum course load may be lower. Registration for additional credits requires a
petition and approval of your academic department.
Undergraduate Students
Undergraduates may register for a maximum of 7 credits in a six-week session (with Maymester and Summer Session I considered as one session for this purpose), and
a maximum of 14 credits in any summer. Students may petition their home school/college to register for additional credits in a session or for summer.
Graduate Students Taking Undergraduate-Level Courses
Prior to registration, graduate students may petition to register for an undergraduate-level course, with the exception of PED courses, which do not require a petition. An
undergraduate course taken by a graduate student appears on the graduate section of the transcript with a notation to indicate the course is undergraduate-level and,
unless flagged to remove it from calculation, the course counts toward overall credit and GPA calculations on the transcript. However, an undergraduate-level course
does not fulfill graduate degree requirements.
Undergraduates Taking Graduate-Level Courses
Registration for a graduate-level course is subject to a variety of restrictions, depending upon how the course is intended to apply toward your undergraduate or
graduate degree requirements. Taking a graduate course as restricted graduate credit, with the intention of later applying it toward a graduate degree or certificate
program, requires prior approval.
A graduate course taken by an undergraduate appears on the undergraduate section of the transcript with a notation to indicate the course is graduate level, and the
course counts toward overall undergraduate credit and GPA calculations. However, a graduate-level course neither fulfills undergraduate degree requirements (unless it
has specifically been approved for that purpose, either as part of the degree programs requirements or by petition prior to registration), nor does it count toward
calculations for certification, e.g., for University honors.
Changes To Registration
You may make changes to your registration after the semester begins, adding, dropping, or withdrawing from classes in accordance with published deadlines. Courses
with nontraditional start and/or end dates have different deadlines than full-semester courses. While the student normally initiates registration and subsequent changes,
the students school(s)/college(s) of enrollment may also initiate such actions. Instructors also have the option to administratively drop students who do not attend the
first week of classes (up to and including the add deadline). The administrative drop option for instructors is not available in Maymester.

The Health Center or the Bursars Office may cancel your registration. No other University persons or units may make substantive changes to an undergraduate
students schedule of classes without first securing the formal permission of your home school/college.
Religious Observances, Policy On
SU recognizes the diverse faith traditions represented among its campus community and supports the rights of faculty, staff, and students to observe according to these
traditions. Students are asked to consider that it is more difficult to arrange appropriate accommodations in some kinds of courses, e.g., those that have certain kinds of
laboratories or a significant experiential learning component, so students should consider their need for accommodation for religious observances as they plan their
schedule each semester. Students should recall that not every course is offered every academic year and that the catalog indicates how frequently each course is offered.
Faculty are asked to make appropriate accommodation for students' observance needs by providing an opportunity to make up any examination, study, or work
requirement that is missed because of an absence due to a religious observance, provided the instructor has been notified no later than the end of the second week of
classes. No fees will be charged to the student for the costs incurred by the University for such make-up work. If a faculty member is unwilling or unable to make an
appropriate accommodation, the student should consult his or her academic dean.
Research Involving Human Or Animal Subjects
Students are required to submit copies of any research proposal that involves human subjects to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review. No research or
teaching using live vertebrate animals may be undertaken until the protocol is approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).
38


Residency Requirement
All students must complete a minimum number of credit hours at SU in courses offered through duly registered graduate programs order to be granted a Syracuse
University degree. Advanced Credit (AC) exams may not be applied toward the residency requirement.
Graduate Students
Masters degree candidates must take at least 70 percent of credit hours for the degree while at SU. See Calculation of Credit Hours Toward Degree Requirements for
school/college-specific exceptions.

Doctoral students must take at least 50 percent of coursework, exclusive of dissertation, in courses offered through an SU-registered graduate degree program.
Experiential learning credit and professional experience courses dont count toward the residency requirement.
Undergraduate Students
You must take at least 30 credit hours of coursework at SU to qualify for the degree; in most cases more than 30 credits will be required in order to fulfill degree
requirements. Work necessary to complete a major must be completed at SU unless a waiver is granted by the appropriate major department.

SU courses taken while a student is matriculated at SUNY ESF do count toward the residency requirement. ESF courses taken while a student is matriculated either at
SUNY ESF or at SU do not count toward the SU residency requirement.
University College Candidates for associate's degrees, bachelor of liberal studies degrees, or bachelor of professional studies degrees must complete a minimum of 30
credit hours of SU coursework while enrolled as part-time students at University College. Credits earned at SU while enrolled as a full-time student do not count toward
this requirement.
Retaking Courses
Some programs require the retaking of courses in which unsatisfactory grades (as defined by the program) were earned. Retaking courses may also be prohibited under
certain circumstances.
Language courses A course cannot be retaken once you have successfully completed a higher level course in the same language.
Mathematics courses A course cannot be retaken once you have completed a higher level course in the same mathematics curriculum sequence with a grade
of C or better.

Table A describes other rules for undergraduates who want to retake courses. Also see Flagging Courses That Have Been Retaken. Note that retaken courses may not
count toward eligibility and satisfactory progress requirements for certain types of financial aid awards.
Graduate Students
You may retake a course in which you earned a grade of C+, C, C- or F, with the approval of your academic unit and the Graduate School. Graduate courses may be
retaken only once. A retaken course replaces the original course on your degree program of study, but both the original course and the retaken course will appear on
your transcript and both courses will calculate, unless the original course is flagged.
Student Academic Work
Student work prepared for University courses in any media may be used for educational purposes, if the course syllabus makes clear that such use may occur. You grant
permission to have your work used in this manner by registering for, and by continuing to be enrolled in, courses where such use of student work is announced in the
course syllabus.
After you have completed such courses, any further use of your work will meet one of the following conditions:
the work will be rendered anonymous by removing all of your personal identification, or
your written permission will be secured.
As a generally accepted practice, dissertations, graduate theses or research projects, honors theses, or other capstone projects submitted in partial fulfillment of degree
requirements are placed in the library, University Archives, or department for public reference.
Student Status

Enrolled Students
A student is considered enrolled at the University until one or more of the following occurs: (1) the student graduates; (2) the student takes a leave of absence; (3) the
student is withdrawn from the University for academic, medical or disciplinary reasons; (4) the student fails to register; or (5) the student's registration is cancelled by
the University.
Matriculated Students
A matriculated student is defined as one who has applied for, been formally admitted to, and has registered for one or more courses in the degree or certificate-granting
program to which he/she has been admitted. You must be matriculated to receive a degree or certificate from the University.
Students who take an official leave of absence maintain matriculation status.
Non-Matriculated Students
Non-matriculated students are held to the same academic standards as matriculated students.
A non-matriculated graduate student is one who has earned a bachelor's degree at SU or elsewhere, but has not been formally admitted to a degree or C.A.S. program at
SU. This status applies whether registering for graduate or undergraduate courses.
A non-matriculated undergraduate student is one who has neither earned a bachelor's degree nor been formally admitted to the University.
39
Undergraduates who are academically dismissed from a school/college and accepted into University College as special students are considered non-
matriculated.

Taking courses at University College does not imply matriculation, since you must be formally admitted to an SU degree program in order to become
matriculated.

Students who are withdrawn from the University become non-matriculated. Upon readmission, matriculation status is regained.
Full-Time And Part-Time Status
The Universitys certification of a students status is based solely on the criteria stated in this rule. Students who meet SUs requirements for full-time or part-time
status may not meet requirements for such status as defined by other agencies or institutions. Conversely, students who do not meet the Universitys requirements for
full-or part-time status may be considered full-time or part-time by other agencies.
Graduate Students
Full-time
A graduate student is considered full time under any one of the following conditions:
registered for full-time study (9 credits for fall, spring, or summer in a program approved by the student's advisor)
holding an appointment as a graduate assistant or fellow and registered for the semester (fall and spring only)
registered for fewer than 9 credits but for at least 0 (zero) credits of thesis, dissertation, or degree in progress for the semester and engaged, at a level
equivalent to full-time study in one or more of the following activities as certified by your program.

studying for preliminary, qualifying, or comprehensive exams

studying for a language or tool requirement
actively working on a thesis or dissertation
an internship
A law student is full-time if enrolled for 12 credits in a fall or spring semester. If matriculated in a joint/dual degree program that includes the J.D. degree, then the law
requirement for full-time status takes precedence over the 9 credit criterion for full-time status as stated above.
Part-Time (Fall, Spring, and Summer)
Graduate students who do not meet the requirements for full-time status are considered part time.
Undergraduate Students
Full-time (Fall, Spring, and Summer)
Undergraduates are full time if registered for 12 or more credits during any semester. Registration for 6 credits in a six-week summer session confers full-time status for
the session.

Part-time (Fall, Spring, and Summer)
Undergraduates enrolled for fewer than 12 credit hours are considered to be part time.
Exception: Engineering and Computer Science Students registered in the Cooperative Education program for zero hours in semesters when they are on work
assignments are considered to be full time.
The number of credit hours carried by a part-time student may affect eligibility for University housing and financial aid. For purposes of financial aid, students
registered for 9-11 credit hours are considered three-quarter time: students registered for 6-8 credit hours are considered half-time students; students registered for 0-5
credit hours are considered less than half time.
Transcript
SU maintains a permanent academic transcript showing complete course and grade-earned information for every student, matriculated or non-matriculated, who takes
credit-bearing coursework through any SU program. The transcript may not be modified or selectively deleted for any reason, including ignorance of deadlines or
academic rules. Once a degree is conferred, the transcript may not be changed except for subsequently discovered fraud or academic dishonesty, assessments that more
accurately represent academic work completed prior to degree certification, or to correct administrative error. In extreme cases, such changes may include the
rescinding of a degree.
Transcripts of courses taken and degrees received at SU are maintained by the Registrars Office in accordance with the policies of the American Association of
Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. Official transcripts show the entire record of all coursework, both undergraduate and graduate, matriculated and non-
matriculated. Undergraduate and graduate transcript records print separately, but are issued and sent together for students with more than one SU academic career.
Coursework is displayed chronologically within each career record, with one GPA calculation for the career. However, within that distinction the transcript is not
degree-specific: i.e., it does not designate courses that apply to multiple specific degree programs at the same level. Such information may only be obtained from the
students school/college for undergraduate degrees or the academic department for graduate programs or the College of Law for law degrees.

All courses taken at SU Abroad centers are listed on students transcripts. Credit hours and grades are computed in the GPA in the same manner as any other Syracuse
University courses. Courses taken through SU Abroad at foreign institutions may be listed on students transcripts with credit hours and grades computed in the GPA in
the same manner as any other Syracuse University course, or as transfer credit, as determined by SU departmental review.
SU does not maintain a transcript record of SU courses taken by SUNY ESF students. For ESF students, ESF is the college of record. ESF courses taken by
matriculated SU students appear on the SU transcript and calculate in the same way as SU courses, except for graduate students admitted to concurrent masters degree
programs.

Transcripts may be obtained from the Registrars Office. The students signature must appear on all transcript requests. Students making a request in person must
present appropriate identification. SU reserves the right to withhold copies of transcripts of students who have unfulfilled financial obligations to the University or by
request of the Office of Judicial Affairs.
Access to transcripts and other student records is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. (See Student Rights Under the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act )

Minors At Syracuse University
A minor provides an excellent opportunity to blend another subject area into your degree program without the additional requirements of a double major or dual degree.
A minor may be related to your major, or it might be in a completely different academic/professional area. Because a completed minor appears on your transcript, it
highlights another dimension of educational background to support an application for graduate study or employment.

A minor is a grouping of 6 or more courses, totaling 18 to 21 credits, of which 12 credits are usually in 300- to 400-level courses. A minor may be similar to and named
for an existing major, such as Chemistry, or it may be an interdisciplinary grouping, like Judaic Studies. The department or college offering the minor determines which
courses are required. Some colleges require a formal minor as part of the degree program.
Minor courses may or may not fit into the electives of your degree requirements. Your academic advisor or home college undergraduate office can advise you on the
effect of a minor on your particular degree program, including whether or not you will need to complete more than the normal total number of credits.
Enrolling in a Minor
Pursuing a minor should be discussed with your academic advisor as early in your academic career as possible. You will then complete a Declaration of Minor form,
available in your school/college undergraduate office. The form must be signed by the department or college offering the minor and, in some cases, your advisor. Your
home colleges undergraduate office will review the paperwork and enter the minor on your student record. A variety of minors offered by SUNY College of
Environmental Science and Forestry are also available to Syracuse University students. Information about these minors is available
at: /2012/schools/ESF/861_undergraduate_programs/minors. Students may request admission into SUNY ESF minors using the same forms and procedures used for
Syracuse University minors.
Information about minors that have enrollment limits or eligibility requirements can be obtained at the sponsoring department/college. The sponsoring unit can explain
specific course requirements and options for the minor. In some cases, a minor must be officially listed on your record for you to be able to register for certain restricted
courses. The department or college offering the minor determines the requirements, and any exception to the minor requirements must be granted by petition through
the sponsoring department/college.

After certification by your college for graduation, and if all coursework for the minor is completed, it will appear on your transcript under the college, major, and degree
listing as MINOR IN {title}.
Pursuing More Than One Minor
You may pursue more than one minor if there are enough elective course opportunities in your degree program or if you choose to graduate with additional credits. This
possibility should be discussed with your academic advisor or school/college undergraduate office.
Official Minors
All current official disciplinary minors are listed on the appropriate school, department, or program pages. Detailed descriptions of requirements for each minor may be
found at the following link http://coursecatalog.syr.edu/2012/programs/minor or by contacting specific departments for minors not described in this catalog.
Interdisciplinary minors within the College of Arts and Sciences and between the College of Arts and Sciences and other schools and colleges can be found here. Please
be aware that not all minors are endorsed by all schools and colleges. You should verify that the minor you wish to pursue is accepted by your home college.

Mary Ann Shaw Center For Public & Community Services
Pamela Kirwin Heintz, Director
237 Schine Student Center, 315-443-3051
http://shawcenter.syr.edu

The Mary Ann Shaw Center for Public and Community Service (SHAW CENTER) provides support for faculty to integrate community based service learning/research
into academic coursework for undergraduate and graduate students. It does this by: furnishing organizational information about placements for those seeking
community based service learning/research opportunities; helping create new partnerships/collaborations and learning/research opportunities; and supporting ongoing
academic programs/projects/courses that foster community based service learning/research on the local, national, and global levels. Since opening in 1994, the SHAW
CENTER has provided assistance to faculty in the form of training and orientation; identification and mitigation of risk/liability issues; and ongoing support,
monitoring, and evaluation. Additionally, the SHAW CENTER offers a variety of curricular and co-curricular service opportunities. Every college within the University
offers community based service learning/research opportunities for students.

The Program
Community based service learning components of courses provide opportunities for students to put the value of learning into action through community service
placements. The students can connect theory and practice as they train for life, enrich their moral character, and develop their sense of civic responsibility. This
educational opportunity deepens the students sense of connectedness and responsibility to others and includes elements of vocation and avocation.
Students participate in the community based service components of their courses by completing a predetermined number of service hours at a community site. Under
the direction of the course professor, teaching assistants, academic managers, and SHAW CENTER professional staff, students keep journals, write papers, do action
based research, and present projects and reports to reflect on and process their community service experiences. The course professor assumes grading responsibility.
Academic credit for the service learning experience is awarded by the professor through credit for the course.

The SHAW CENTER works with students, faculty, teaching assistants, academic administrators, and community site partners and supervisors to assist in successfully
implementing community based learning opportunities. The SHAW CENTER provides information about placement options; orientation to the community; assistance
when there are questions; transportation (on a first-come, first-served basis to the extent resources allow); and evaluation of the community service component of the
course for future improvement.

Courses
Students are invited to visit the SHAW CENTER office or web site at http://shawcenter.syr.edu/ to learn more about course options. Students are encouraged to discuss
course options that interest them with the appropriate faculty advisor before registering. Students can, with the approval of the professor, request individual placements
within courses to enhance assignments or course goals. The SHAW CENTER will work to help the student develop and implement an appropriate placement, as well as
assist with the reflection and processing of the experience, if appropriate.

Professor Stephen Kuusisto, Director
306 Bowne Hall, 315-443-2759

The Rene Crown University Honors Program is a selective, demanding, and rewarding program for outstanding students who seek intense intellectual challenge and
are prepared to invest the extra effort it takes to meet that challenge. It is marked by four distinguishing characteristics:

heightened expectations;

participation in a vibrant and active community of learners;

intensity of intellectual experience; and

special intellectual opportunities and responsibilities.

The program is open to qualified students from all undergraduate majors at Syracuse University. Its requirements, supplemental to those of their majors, stipulate that
they demonstrate the attributes of depth, breadth, command of language, global awareness, civic engagement, and collaborative capacity by successfully completing the
following program requirements:

DEPTH

1. An Honors Capstone Project, with written summary for a non-expert audience; and

51

B. Disciplinary Diversity
Four three-credit Honors courses, from at least two of the following divisions: humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences/mathematics. At least two of these
courses must carry the HNR prefix. The remaining two courses may have the HNR prefix, or be Honors sections of regular, departmental courses. Students may
substitute three one-credit, 200-level Honors seminars, taken for a grade, for one of these courses.

C. Interdisciplinary Work (one of the following three options):
1. An approved, three-credit HNR or other course with substantial interdisciplinary content; or
2. An independent project experience, with prior approval from the Honors Program; or
3. A clearly interdisciplinary Capstone Project, with prior approval from the Honors Program and from the students major department.

COMMAND OF LANGUAGE (the following four requirements):
1. The Capstone Project as described under Depth above;
2. A written summary of the Capstone Project, as noted under Depth above;
3. One course with a substantial public presentation requirement; and
4. Either one course with a significant quantitative component or one course in creative expression.

Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
The Reserve Officer Training Corps program is offered by the Air Force through the Department of Aerospace Studies and by the Army through the Department of
Military Sciences. Both programs include a basic course taken during the first and sophomore years, and an advanced course taken during the junior and senior years.
Each program offers commissions in their respective service for men and women who complete the course requirements and meet other mandatory prerequisites.

Students may enroll in the first two years of either program and complete field training or basic camp without incurring any military-service obligation. Uniforms and
ROTC textbooks are furnished throughout the programs. Students accepted to the second two years of the programs are given a subsistence allowance of $450 to $500 a
month during each academic year. Two-, three-, and four-year scholarship recipients receive tuition assistance, a book allowance, lab fees, and a stipend ranging from
$300 a month for first-year students to $500 a month for seniors for the duration of their scholarship.

Sophomores may receive credit for the basic course by attending a special, expenses-paid, five-week camp during the summer before the junior year.

Enrollment in the ROTC program is also available to seniors who expect to go directly into graduate school in a program that requires at least two academic years to
complete, as well as to graduate students who will have four or more semesters remaining at the time of the next fall registration.

Academic credit awarded toward graduation requirements for military science and aerospace studies courses is determined by the individual schools and colleges.
Interested students should inquire at the ROTC office of their choice either before or at the start of the academic year or semester. Students may visit the ROTC offices
in Archbold North. For more information on the individual program descriptions, refer to the course catalog or call the Unit Admissions Officer, Army ROTC, 315-443-
1752; or Air Force ROTC, 315-443-2461; or visit us .

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps
Lt. Col. Ray Bowen
Professor of Aerospace Studies
303 Archbold, 315-443-2461

The goal of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps is to commission second lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force. Students completing the Air Force ROTC training
program will serve as Air Force officers on active duty for a minimum of four years after graduation. These students will have learned to exercise leadership, think
critically and creatively, and communicate effectively. All cadets are required to complete the Air Force ROTC course sequence. The ROTC academic courses are cross
-listed with other University departments and colleges, allowing academic credit toward degree requirements.

Students in the Air Force ROTC program enroll in an aerospace studies (ASC) course each semester. ASC 205/PAF 275 and ASC 206/PAF 276 are taken during the
first year and ASC/HST 295 and ASC/HST 296 are taken during the sophomore year. These courses comprise the general military course and meet one hour a week.

During the junior year, students enroll in ASC 305/O&M 405 and ASC 306/O&M 406. During the senior year, they enroll in ASC 405/PAF 475 and ASC 406/PAF
476. These courses comprise the professional officer course, and each meets for three hours a week.

All academic courses are taught by career Air Force officers who hold at least a bachelors degree. These officers are on the University faculty and hold the academic
title of professor or assistant professor for the duration of their assignment.

Besides attending academic classes, cadets attend a leadership laboratory each week. The leadership laboratory provides instruction in Air Force customs and
courtesies, drill and ceremonies, expeditionary skills, and briefings on career opportunities. The instruction is conducted by the cadet corps with a progression of
experiences designed to develop leadership potential.

During the summer between the sophomore and junior years, cadets attend field training at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. This training is four weeks long for the
cadets in the four-year program and five weeks long for cadets in the two-year program. Field training provides each cadet with leadership training, group involvement,
physical fitness training, and a chance to experience life in an active Air Force environment.

Juniors in Air Force ROTC are eligible to apply for positions as cadet training assistants or to participate in professional development training programs around the
country. Cadet training assistants attend a field training camp and train and evaluate cadet trainees and execute field training activities.

Army Reserve Officer Training Corps
Lt. Col. Michael Kubala
Professor of Military Science
308 Archbold North, 315-443-2462

Students in the Army ROTC program receive instruction in general military science in preparation for commissions as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, Army
Reserve, or National Guard. Officer education emphasizes such areas as the duties and responsibilities of junior officers; the understanding of the fundamental concepts
and principles of military art and science; the development of leadership and management potential; a basic understanding of associated professional knowledge; a
strong sense of personal integrity, honor, and individual responsibility; and an appreciation of the requirements for national security.

All students participate in a two-hour leadership laboratory each week. This period of instruction is largely student-planned and directed and provides opportunities for
realistic leadership experience. It emphasizes leadership, basic military skills, and professional knowledge subjects.

In addition to the leadership laboratory, basic-course students (first-year and sophomore students) receive instruction in physical conditioning, first aid, effective
writing, and human behavior. The basic course does not obligate students to any military service and only requires two to three hours a week.

After successful completion of basic-course requirements, students can enroll in advanced ROTC, which requires five to eight hours a week.

In the junior year cadets prepare for advanced camp, which takes place at an active duty Army base, during the summer between the junior and senior year.

Students study military leadership and management, map reading, advanced physical conditioning, military ethics, professionalism, and law. These courses, if cross-
listed with other academic courses, may be taken for academic credit.

Field training exercises are held once each semester. They introduce a wide range of military skills and stress practical application of classroom instruction. Skills in
rappelling, land navigation, tactics, and marksmanship are taught at a variety of field sites in Central New York and Pennsylvania.

ilearn.syr.edu

The Undergraduate Research Program (URP), housed in the College of Arts and Sciences but open to qualified participants from other colleges, exists to provide non-
classroom, credit-bearing educational opportunities to undergraduate students. Interested qualified students work closely with faculty members in faculty-generated
research projects, or other projects representing the faculty members professional and academic interests. The program features the apprenticeship model, and students
gain firsthand experience in creative and investigative academic processes, participate in alternate learning environments, translate theory into practice, explore the
cutting edges of particular disciplines, develop closer working relationships with faculty members, and enhance their own career and educational credentials.
FACULTY PARTICIPATION
The program offers faculty members a chance to extend and expand the character of their teaching in the undergraduate context, to work closely with self-selecting,
highly motivated students, to attract excellent students to continued study in their particular field of study, and to open both internal and external funding possibilities by
way of undergraduate involvement in their work. Faculty projects open to this involvement are invited and listed on a semester-by-semester basis, although individual
projects may extend beyond a semester in length or be repeated or relisted as appropriate. The character and requirements of these projects, as well as the number of
credits involved, vary greatly, since they come from across the disciplines of the College of Arts and Sciences. The common criterion for all, however, is
appropriateness to an educational credit-bearing experience for qualified undergraduate students.

These values inform all of our act ivit ies. In t he cont ext of classrooms, st udios, and ot her learning environment s, t hey t ranslat e int o t hese
guidelines:
The School encourages st udent s and facult y alike t o embrace t he design st udio and t he classroom as places of int ellect ual and

t heir t eaching and t hat st udent s bring a diversit y of valuable prior knowledge t o t heir learning. It also requires clear
communicat ion, rigorous t est ing of ideas, and a commit ment t o excellence on t he part of all part icipant s.
The School encourages collaborat ion among st udent s in t heir academic work and in ext racurricular act ivit ies, as well as among
st udent s, facult y and st aff in cont inually advancing knowledge and improving t he ways we work t oget her. It also promot es a

Honest y, t rust wort hiness and fairness are essent ial at t ribut es for conduct in class, wit hin t he universit y communit y, and in
academic act ivit ies beyond Syracuse. These principles should guide behavior not only in t he complet ion of course assignment s,
but also in t reat ment of buildings and equipment ; int eract ion wit h universit y st aff, syst ems and procedures; and behavior in t he
st udio and elsewhere.

The combined bachelors/mast ers t eacher preparat ion programs were designed t o meet t he needs of Art s and Sciences undergraduat es who, because of a
lat er decision t o become a t eacher, would need t o add a semest er or more t o t heir undergraduat e st udy t o complet e t he exist ing undergraduat e Art s and
Sciences/Educat ion program. It also serves t hose who want or need more flexibilit y in t heir undergraduat e program t han t he dual undergraduat e degree
allows.
Bot h t he Art s and Sciences undergraduat e degree wit h a major relat ed t o t he subject t o be t aught , and t he School of Educat ion mast ers degree are conferred
at t he same t ime, aft er all requirement s are met t ypically at t he end of 5 years. St udent s begin t aking educat ion courses as undergraduat es, including some
in t he fourt h year t hat are t aken for graduat e credit , and apply t o become graduat e st udent s for t heir last t wo semest ers. Some summer st udy (not
necessarily at SU) may be required.
The combined program has a t wo-st age admission process. The first st age involves meet ing wit h t he School of Educat ion cont act as early as possible t o
develop a plan, and, if a decision t o pursue t he program is made, complet ing a form signed by Educat ion and a new declarat ion of program of st udy form in
Art s and Science t o declare t he Art s and Sciences program wit h Teacher Preparat ion/5 year appended t o t he t it le (e.g., Hist ory(TchrPrep/5yr) inst ead
of Hist ory). The second admission st age involves an applicat ion t o graduat e school. Each admission st age requires a 3.0 cumulat ive GPA and a 3.0 GPA
in t he courses from t he subject t o be t aught . The second st age also requires successful performance in t he undergraduat e educat ion courses.
The choices of Art s and Sciences majors, and t he course requirement s for t he Art s and Sciences major, t he Liberal Art s Core, and ot her requirement s relat ed
t o t he major are t he same for t hese combined programs as t hose for st udent s complet ing t he dual enrollment undergraduat e Art s and Sciences/Educat ion
program. These det ails about specific adjust ment s necessary t o t he Liberal Art s Core and t o Art s and Sciences major may be found in t he sect ion describing
Dual Art s and Sciences/ Educat ion Programs.
Because of t he specific course requirement s and sequencing of courses, it is import ant t hat st udent s int erest ed in one of t hese programs meet wit h t he
Educat ion cont act as soon as possible t o develop a plan. EDU 204, t he first educat ion course, must be t aken no lat er t han spring of t he junior year.

St udent s majoring in biology est ablish a general background in t he discipline t hrough a series of first -year/sophomore-level core courses t hat preview all of
biology. This int roduct ory program is followed by courses t hat allow t he st udent t o focus on more advanced mat erial.
The major in biology leads t o eit her t he B.A. or t he B.S. degree. The B.S. degree is int ended for st udent s int erest ed in graduat e st udy in biological science or
t he healt h professions (medicine, dent ist ry, or vet erinary medicine). In addit ion t o biology requirement s, st udent s pursuing t he B.S. degree in biology t ake

Universit y Honors Program, t he Communit y Int ernship Program, or depart ment al research.
St udent s may also receive a B.S. in biology wit h emphasis on environment al sciences.
The B.A. degree is int ended for st udent s who wish t o pursue t echnical or science-relat ed careers t hat do not require a graduat e or professional degree, or
careers out side of biology in which a background in science may be useful, such as science writ ing, business, or law. Alt hough t he first -year/sophomore-level

MINOR IN CHEMISTRY
The minor in chemist ry is offered t o provide st udent s wit h a basic underst anding of t he st ruct ure and behavior of mat t er at t he at omic and molecular level.
Increasingly, t he cont rol of mat t er at t he level of individual molecules is becoming t he key ingredient in sweeping t echnological advances such as genet ic
engineering, micro and molecular elect ronics, advanced mat erials, and nanot echnology. A minor in chemist ry offers a st rong complement t o major areas of
st udy such as biology, physics, geology, psychology, engineering, pre-medicine, and pre-professional degree programs.
General Requirement s:

To complet e a minor in chemist ry, st udent s t ake 20 credit s carrying a CHE or BCM prefix, including courses t hat meet requirement s A and B below. No
part of t he minor requirement s may be met wit h t ransfer or AP credit s, nor wit h independent st udy (CHE 290, 490), research (CHE 450, BCM 460), or
experience credit s (CHE 470).
A. Lower-division courses must include eit her of t he following groups: CHE 106/109, 107/129, 116/119, 117/139 (8 credit s); or CHE 275/276 (5 credit s).
B. Upper-division courses must include 12 credit s of CHE and BCM courses numbered above 299, including at least one lect ure course from among t he group
CHE 325, CHE 346, CHE 411; and at least one course wit h an inst ruct ional laborat ory component . Examples of courses t hat sat isfy t he inst ruct ional

The combined bachelors/mast ers t eacher preparat ion programs were designed t o meet t he needs of Art s and Sciences undergraduat es who, because of a
lat er decision t o become a t eacher, would need t o add a semest er or more t o t heir undergraduat e st udy t o complet e t he exist ing undergraduat e Art s and
Sciences/Educat ion program. It also serves t hose who want or need more flexibilit y in t heir undergraduat e program t han t he dual undergraduat e degree
allows.
Bot h t he Art s and Sciences undergraduat e degree wit h a major relat ed t o t he subject t o be t aught , and t he School of Educat ion mast ers degree are conferred
at t he same t ime, aft er all requirement s are met t ypically at t he end of 5 years. St udent s begin t aking educat ion courses as undergraduat es, including some
in t he fourt h year t hat are t aken for graduat e credit , and apply t o become graduat e st udent s for t heir last t wo semest ers. Some summer st udy (not
necessarily at SU) may be required.
The combined program has a t wo-st age admission process. The first st age involves meet ing wit h t he School of Educat ion cont act as early as possible t o
develop a plan, and, if a decision t o pursue t he program is made, complet ing a form signed by Educat ion and a new declarat ion of program of st udy form in
Art s and Science t o declare t he Art s and Sciences program wit h Teacher Preparat ion/5 year appended t o t he t it le (e.g., Hist ory (TchrPrep/5yr) inst ead
of Hist ory). The second admission st age involves an applicat ion t o t he Graduat e School. Each admission st age requires a minimum 3.0 cumulat ive GPA
and a minimum 3.0 GPA in t he courses from t he subject t o be t aught . The second st age also requires successful performance in t he undergraduat e educat ion
courses.
The choices of Art s and Sciences majors, and t he course requirement s for t he Art s and Sciences major, t he Liberal Art s Core, and ot her requirement s relat ed
t o t he major are t he same for t hese combined programs as t hose for st udent s complet ing t he dual enrollment undergraduat e Art s and Sciences/Educat ion
program. These det ails about specific adjust ment s necessary t o t he Liberal Art s Core and t o Art s and Sciences major may be found in t he sect ion describing

Economist s analyze t he int ernal funct ioning of market s and market out comes. While modern economics focuses on market forces, market s funct ion
imperfect ly in some cases and t hat int roduces scope for policy act ion. Our curriculum emphasizes t he applicat ion of economics t o t he st udy of public policy
issues and t he role of government in a market economy. Examples include analysis of int ernat ional t rade and relat ions, economic behavior in t he
workplace, healt h care, t axat ion, and numerous ot her spheres of a global economy. St udent s who major in economics prepare t hemselves for a variet y of
careers. Some move on t o graduat e st udy in economics and become professional economist s; t he majorit y, however, pursue careers in law, public policy,
government , and many aspect s of business, including banking and financial analysis, management , and market ing. Consequent ly, some st udent s choose t o
pursue double majors and dual degrees. Furt her informat ion on t hese programs is available in t he Academic Rules and Regulat ions sect ion of t his cat alog or
in t he economics depart ment office.
The depart ment offers bot h t he B.A. degree in economics as well as a B.S. degree in economics. The B.A. has a liberal art s focus and emphasizes t he applied
and policy aspect s of economics. The B.S. is at t ract ive t o t he more mat hemat ically orient ed st udent .
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
B.A. Degree
A st udent becomes an economics major aft er consult ing wit h an economics advisor on a plan and course of st udy and bringing t hem t o t he depart ment
office for approval. To earn a B.A. in economics, a st udent :
1. Fulfills t he quant it at ive skills requirement for t he liberal art s core;
132
2. Complet es 3-6 credit s of Principles of Economics (ECN 203, or equivalent ); and
3. Complet es 24 credit s of upper-division economics courses, including:
a) ECN 301 (or ECN 311) Int ermediat e Microeconomic Theory
b) ECN 302 Int ermediat e Macroeconomic Theory
c) Six ot her upper-division elect ives in economics (ECN 300 or higher,
excluding ECN 365 and 470), including at least t wo courses t hat have
a prerequisit e of ECN 301 (or 311) or ECN 302.
In all, 27 t o 30 credit s of economics courses are required (depending on whet her 3 or 6 credit s of principles are t aken).
The Economics Depart ment applies a t wo-t hirds rule t o t he upper-division economics courses (it em 3 above). Two-t hirds of t he upper-divison coursework
must be t aken at Syracuse Universit y or it s affiliat e programs, such as SU Abroad. In pract ical t erms, for t he B.A. degree, no more t han t wo of t he upper-
dvision courses may be t aken at anot her college or universit y and applied t o t he economics major at Syracuse Universit y.
Graduat ion wit h a B.A. in economics requires an overall grade point average of 2.0 or higher in 24 credit s of upper-division economics courses.
Schedul i ng
It is recommended t hat st udent s sequence t heir courses in t he following manner:
1. The Principles of Economics (ECN 203 or equivalent ) and t he quant it at ive skills requirement of t he Liberal Art s Core should be complet ed by t he

Curri cul um Suggesti ons
St udent s who are more analyt ically inclined or int erest ed in graduat e school should plan t o t ake MAT 295/296, and t ake ECN 311 rat her t han ECN 301. In
addit ion, t hey may wish t o t ake ECN 505 and 521/522 as upper-division economics elect ives.
St udent s planning t o ent er law school aft er graduat ion may find ECN 431,451, and 481 of part icular int erest , while t hose who plan t o pursue graduat e
degrees in management may want t o choose from ECN 465,481,487, and 566. St udent s pursuing an int ernat ional specialt y might be int erest ed in ECN 410
Modern Economic Development , ECN 465,and 481. St udent s preparing a public sect or specialt y might find ECN 431 of part icular int erest . Those wit h a
human resources int erest should select elect ives from ECN 451 and 481. Those int erest ed in macroeconomic t heory should consider ECN 431, 481 and
566.
The School of Management allows economics majors t o t ake one course per semest er in t he School of Management . These courses are count ed as general
elect ives and not as economics or art s and sciences elect ives.
B.S. Degree
The B.S. degree has an orient at ion t oward t he st at ist ical and mat hemat ical skills necessary t o work as a professional economist or pursue graduat e work in
economics, public policy, or business. St udent s who want t hese career t racks or who want t o acquire more analyt ical skills t hat can be used in a variet y of
careers should pursue t he B.S. degree.
A st udent becomes an economics major aft er consult ing wit h an economics advisor on a plan and course of st udy and bringing t hem t o t he depart ment
office for approval. To earn a B.S. in economics, a st udent :
1. Complet es calculus courses: Calculus I (MAT 295) and Calculus II (MAT 296);
2. Complet es 3 t o 6 credit s of Principles of Economic (ECN 203, or t he equivalent ); and
3. Complet es 30 credit s of upper-division economics courses, including:
a) ECN 311 Int ermediat e Mat hemat ical Microeconomics (not ECN 301);
b) ECN 302 Int ermediat e Macroeconomics Theory;
c) ECN 505 Mat hemat ical Economics;
d) ECN 521 Economic St at ist ics;
133
e) ECN 522 Economet ric Met hods;
f) Five ot her upper-division elect ives in economics (ECN 300 or higher, excluding
ECN 365 and 470), including at least t wo courses t hat have a prerequisit e of ECN
311 or ECN 302.
In all, 30 credit s of upper-division coursework (courses numbered 300 or higher) in economics are required, in addit ion t o t he t wo courses in calculus, and
principles of economics. (In some inst ances, st udent s will be allowed t o subst it ut e MAS 261 and 362 for ECN 521.)
The Economics Depart ment applies a t wo-t hirds rule t o t he upper-division economics courses (it em 3 above). Two-t hirds of t he upper-divison coursework
must be t aken at Syracuse Universit y or it s affiliat e programs, such as SU Abroad. In pract ical t erms, for t he B.S. degree, no more t han t wo of t he upper-
dvision courses may be t ransferred in. Because of t he specialized nat ure of ECN 311, ECN 505, and ECN 522, it may be difficult t o find accept able
subst it ut es at ot her colleges or universit ies.
Graduat ion wit h a B.S. in Economics requires an overall grade point average of 2.0 or higher in t he 30 credit s of upper-division economics courses. St udent s
who wish t o pursue t he B.S. degree in Art s and Sciences must pet it ion t he economics depart ment t o be formally accept ed as a candidat e.
Schedul i ng
It is recommended t hat st udent s sequence t heir courses in t he following manner:
1. The Principles of Economics (ENC 203 or equivalent ) and t he t wo required calculus courses should be complet ed by t he end of t he sophomore
year or earlier, and before t aking ECN 311.
2. ECN 311 can be t aken in t he fall of t he junior year or earlier, along wit h ECN 521. ECN 522 can be t aken in t he spring of t he junior year or
earlier, along wit h ECN 302. One (or t wo) of t he five economics major elect ives should be t aken by t he end of t he junior year or earlier.
3. ECN 505 and four (or t hree) of t he five economics major elect ives should be t aken in t he senior year or earlier.
4. Senior majors are encouraged t o enroll in courses numbered 500-599. Oft en t hese classes are designed t o be small seminars for t he advanced

Economist s analyze t he int ernal funct ioning of market s and market out comes. While modern economics focuses on market forces, market s funct ion
imperfect ly in some cases and t hat int roduces scope for policy act ion. Our curriculum emphasizes t he applicat ion of economics t o t he st udy of public policy
issues and t he role of government in a market economy. Examples include analysis of int ernat ional t rade and relat ions, economic behavior in t he
workplace, healt h care, t axat ion, and numerous ot her spheres of a global economy. St udent s who major in economics prepare t hemselves for a variet y of
careers. Some move on t o graduat e st udy in economics and become professional economist s; t he majorit y, however, pursue careers in law, public policy,
government , and many aspect s of business, including banking and financial analysis, management , and market ing. Consequent ly, some st udent s choose t o

The Environment and Societ y (E&S) minor examines t he social dimensions of environment al issues and sust ainabilit y. Through a range of int erdisciplinary

polit ical, cult ural, and economic fact ors t hat affect our use of t he environment . Courses in t he minor draw primarily from t he social sciences and
humanit ies and ask a variet y of quest ions. Who determines how the environment is used? How has the way we value nature and wildlife changed over time?
How do social divisions influence who is affected by climate change, pollution, or natural disasters? How can we create a more sustainable society?
The Environment and Societ y minor is an excellent accompaniment t o majors in ot her fields. For t hose int erest ed in t he nat ural sciences, t he minor offers
perspect ives on t he social dimensions of nat ure less emphasized in science courses. For t hose int erest ed in public policy and economics, it allows st udent s t o

Have you ever wondered why t he world works t he way it does? So do geographers, who st udy everyt hing from economic, polit ical, and cult ural relat ions
wit hin and bet ween count ries, t o dist ribut ions of life forms, t o environment al pract ices of different groups of people in brief, t he spat ial aspect s of human
life and t he nat ural environment . Geographers excel in social t heory, applicat ion, analysis, and int ervent ion. At Syracuse Universit y, geographers st udy
globalizat ion, environment al change and hist ory, mapping and spat ial t echniques, immigrat ion, urban and cult ural polit ics, and social movement s. As a
major, geography gives you a range of skills AND a new perspect ive on t he world. Because geographers research issues such as social just ice, sust ainable
development , gender equit y, and environment al change, geography provides t ools not only t o underst and t he world but also t o change it !
Geography is easy t o pair wit h anot her major, such as int ernat ional relat ions or biology, or a degree from anot her college, such as t he Newhouse School of
Public Communicat ions or Smit h College of Engineering and Comput er Science. Aft er graduat ion, geography majors do very well. St udent s find jobs in

development , t eaching and research, journalism, real-est at e analysis, consult ing, t ravel and ecot ourism planning, and ot her fields. The Geography
Depart ment also offers research opport unit ies for undergraduat es. Our majors work wit h t he Syracuse Communit y Geographer t o address communit y
concerns t hrough init iat ives like t he Syracuse Hunger Project . They also do fieldwork on landform responses t o climat e change, rainforest dynamics and

This combined degree opt ion, offered by t he College of Art s and Sciences and t he School of Educat ion meet s t he academic requirement s for t he New York

The combined bachelors/mast ers t eacher preparat ion programs were designed t o meet t he needs of Art s and Sciences undergraduat es who, because of a
lat er decision t o become a t eacher, would need t o add a semest er or more t o t heir undergraduat e st udy t o complet e t he exist ing undergraduat e Art s and

allows.
Bot h t he Art s and Sciences undergraduat e degree wit h a major relat ed t o t he subject t o be t aught , and t he School of Educat ion mast ers degree are conferred
at t he same t ime, aft er all requirement s are met t ypically at t he end of 5 years. St udent s begin t aking educat ion courses as undergraduat es, including some
in t he fourt h year t hat are t aken for graduat e credit , and apply t o become graduat e st udent s for t heir last t wo semest ers. Some summer st udy (not
necessarily at SU) may be required.
The combined program has a t wo-st age admission process. The first st age involves meet ing wit h t he School of Educat ion cont act as early as possible t o
develop a plan, and, if a decision t o pursue t he program is made, complet ing a form signed by Educat ion and a new declarat ion of program of st udy form in
Art s and Science t o declare t he Art s and Sciences program wit h Teacher Preparat ion/5 year appended t o t he t it le (e.g., Hist ory (TchrPrep/5yr) inst ead
of Hist ory). The second admission st age involves an applicat ion t o t he Graduat e School. Each admission st age requires a minimum 3.0 cumulat ive GPA
and a minimum 3.0 GPA in t he courses from t he subject t o be t aught . The second st age also requires successful performance in t he undergraduat e educat ion
courses.
The choices of Art s and Sciences majors, and t he course requirement s for t he Art s and Sciences major, t he Liberal Art s Core, and ot her requirement s relat ed
t o t he major are t he same for t hese combined programs as t hose for st udent s complet ing t he dual enrollment undergraduat e Art s and Sciences/Educat ion

Because of t he specific course requirement s and sequencing of courses, it is import ant t hat st udent s int erest ed in one of t hese programs meet wit h t he

The mission of t he aerospace engineering program at Syracuse Universit y is t o educat e and t o promot e learning and discovery in aerospace engineering and
t o prepare st udent s for a career of t echnical excellence and professional growt h and leadership in a complex and compet it ive t echnological environment .
The educat ional object ives of t he aerospace engineering curriculum are t o enable graduat es of t he program t o do t he following:
apply t he physical, mat hemat ical, and engineering sciences t o professional pract ice or t o advanced st udy in aerospace engineering or relat ed fields;
be cognizant of societ al cont ext and et hical responsibilit y in professional pract ice;
funct ion product ively on t eams and communicat e ideas t o bot h t echnical and non-t echnical audiences; and
be agile, innovat ive, and adapt able in an increasingly diverse and global environment .
Opport unit ies for aerospace engineers will cont inue t o expand wit hin t he milit ary, civilian, and general aviat ion sect ors spurred on by t he development of
new aircraft t hat ext ends t o civilian supersonic aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. This growt h in aircraft demand (as well as t he need for higher
efficiencies, longer ranges, and lower cost aircraft ) is being fueled by t he increasing global demand for air t ravel in t he int ernat ional market place. Space
explorat ion has also ent ered a period of increased act ivit y t hat includes an increased exploit at ion of sat ellit es t o service t he demand for global
communicat ion, t he need for low-cost assured access t o space, t he int ernat ional space st at ion, and planet ary missions.
We prepare our st udent s for t his changing environment by providing an opport unit y t o gain market able and relevant skills t hat can lead t o success in a wide
range of careers. The dist inct ive signat ure of undergraduat e mechanical and aerospace engineering at Syracuse Universit y is t he abilit y t o fit eit her a
t echnical or a non-t echnical minor int o t he curricula. St udent s explore t he breadt h of Syracuse Universit y by complement ing t heir mechanical or aerospace
engineering degree wit h a minor in business, public policy, fine art s, public communicat ions, and many more.
The t echnical focus of t he B.S. program in aerospace engineering (AEE) is t o develop a sound educat ional basis for t he analysis and design of aerospace
syst ems, wit h emphasis on t he st ruct ure, aerodynamics, flight /orbit al mechanics, and propulsion of aircraft and spacecraft syst ems. Aerospace engineering is
a field const ant ly pushing t he limit s of t echnology. The B.S. AEE program st resses t he fundament al physical, mat hemat ical, and engineering principles t hat
form t he broadest base for fut ure work in a fast -changing field.
The B.S. AEE program is designed t o prepare graduat es for eit her immediat e employment or for cont inuing st udies at t he graduat e level. One dist inguishing
feat ure of t he program is t he opport unit y for undergraduat e st udent s t o part icipat e in current research project s, which provide first -hand exposure bot h t o
advanced t opics of current int erest and t o challenges t ypical of graduat e school or indust rial research. Research experiences for undergraduat es are available
in many areas, including fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, solid mechanics, and applicat ions of high-performance comput ers.
Requirement s for t he B.S. AEE program appear below. For t he first five semest ers t he recommended sequence of courses for t he B.S. AEE program is nearly
ident ical t o t he recommended program for t he B.S. degree in mechanical engineering (MEE), which demonst rat es t he similarit y and complement ary nat ure
of t he t wo disciplines. Courses carrying t he prefix MAE indicat e class mat erial and assignment s are drawn from bot h aerospace and mechanical engineering
applicat ions. Beginning in t he sixt h semest er, st udent s in t he B.S. AEE program begin t aking courses addressing t opics unique t o aerospace engineering,
including aerodynamics, aircraft st ruct ures, propulsion syst ems, and t he dynamics of aerospace vehicles.
Experience wit h open-ended design problems is obt ained in a sequence of courses t hat span t he ent ire curriculum. The sequence begins wit h int roduct ory
design experience in t he first -year courses ECS 101 and MAE 184. Upper-division courses involving design cont ent include classes on t he mechanics of
solids and st ruct ures, aerospace st ruct ures, aerospace vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, dynamics and cont rols, and propulsion. The design sequence
culminat es wit h t he cap-st one design experience (AEE 472) t hat requires st udent s t o int egrat e knowledge from all areas in t he design of a complet e aircraft
or spacecraft syst em.
Topics relevant t o t he analysis and design of space vehicles are included in AEE 427, 446, 471, and 577. Elect ive courses t hat include significant mat erial
399
concerning space t opics include AEE 542 Hypersonic Gas Dynamics, and AEE 491, 492 Hypersonic Research Project I and II.
The B.S. AEE curriculum allows for programs of st udy t hat can be t ailored by st udent s t o t ake advant age of t he diversit y of st rengt hs across bot h ECS and
all of Syracuse Universit y. We provide engineering st udent s wit h opport unit ies t o complet e minors in areas t hat can complement t echnical knowledgesuch
as int ernat ional affairs, business, and public policyt hus enhancing t he value and at t ract iveness of a Syracuse engineering educat ion. St udent s can also elect
t o pursue a t echnical minor or t ake a dist ribut ion of elect ives, which will include liberal art s classes, free elect ives, and addit ional dept h in aerospace
engineering.
There are a t ot al of 24 elect ive credit s in t he B.S. AEE program. These credit s may be dist ribut ed in one of t he following t wo ways:
1. A st udent may complet e any Universit y minor t hat requires at least 12 credit hours beyond t he core AEE curriculum. In addit ion t o, or as part of,
t his minor, at least 9 credit hours must be t aken from t he social sciences or humanit ies (SS/H). Excluding t hose courses t hat count t owards t he
minor, a maximum of 6 credit hours t hat are neit her SS/H nor t echnical elect ives may be t aken as part of t he 24 elect ive credit s.
2. A st udent who does not complet e a Universit y minor must t ake at least 9 credit s from t he social sciences or humanit ies (SS/H), at least 6 credit s of
t echnical elect ives, and a maximum of 6 credit hours t hat are neit her SS/H nor t echnical elect ives.
Technical elect ives consist of all 300 level and above courses offered by any depart ment wit hin t he college of engineering and comput er science or by t he
mat h or physics depart ment s, except for ECS 391, ECS 392 and any course numbered 300, 400 or 500 t hat is offered out side of t he MAE depart ment .
However, in some inst ances, t hese courses may be approved by pet it ion. In addit ion, no more t han 3 credit hours of t echnical elect ives may be t aken
out side of t he MAE depart ment .
St udent s are encouraged t o develop a plan for elect ive select ion during t heir first year. The planning process should include discussions wit h t he st udent s
academic advisor, ot her facult y members, and peer advisors. The MAE Depart ment offers most undergraduat e t echnical elect ive courses on a t wo-year
cycle. It may be necessary for a st udent t o modify t he sequence of courses t o accommodat e a t echnical elect ive course of personal int erest .
In addit ion t o successfully complet ing t he requirement s for t he aerospace program, graduat es from t his program must also achieve t he following st udent
out comes:
an abilit y t o apply knowledge of mat hemat ics, science, and engineering
an abilit y t o design and conduct experiment s, as well as t o analyze and int erpret dat a

The mission of t he mechanical engineering program at Syracuse Universit y is t o educat e and promot e learning and discovery in mechanical engineering and
t o prepare st udent s for careers of t echnical excellence, professional growt h, and leadership in a complex and compet it ive t echnological environment .
The educat ional object ives of t he mechanical engineering curriculum are t o enable graduat es of t he program t o do t he following:

apply t he physical, mat hemat ical, and engineering sciences t o professional pract ice or t o advanced st udy in aerospace (mechanical) engineering or
relat ed fields;
be cognizant of societ al cont ext and et hical responsibilit y in professional pract ice;
funct ion product ively on t eams and communicat e ideas t o bot h t echnical and non-t echnical audiences; and
be agile, innovat ive, and adapt able in an increasingly diverse and global environment
In order t o meet t he demands of new and exist ing high-t ech indust ries, we prepare our st udent s by providing opport unit ies t o gain market able and relevant
skills t hat can lead t o success in a wide range of careers. The dist inct ive signat ure of undergraduat e mechanical and aerospace engineering at Syracuse
Universit y is it s st rong t echnical core coupled wit h t he abilit y t o fit eit her a t echnical or a non-t echnical minor int o t he curricula. St udent s explore t he
breadt h of Syracuse Universit y by complement ing t heir mechanical or aerospace engineering degree wit h a minor in business, public policy, fine art s, public
communicat ions, and many more.
Mechanical engineering is a broad discipline concerned wit h t he design and analysis of syst ems t hat produce or modify mot ion, force, and energy int o forms
useful t o people. Mechanical engineers are employed t hroughout t he complet e spect rum of indust ries, including aut omot ive, indust rial machinery, publishing
and print ing, elect rical and t hermal power, chemical processing, t ext ile, pet roleum, comput er and elect ronic, pharmaceut ical, apparel, consumer product s,
soap and cosmet ics, paper and wood product s, rubber, and glass.
Driven by t he breadt h of career pat hs open t o mechanical engineering graduat es, t he B.S. program in mechanical engineering (MEE) is st ruct ured t o provide
a firm educat ional foundat ion in t he physical, mat hemat ical, and engineering principles and design pract ices relevant t o mechanical and t hermal syst ems.
The program is designed t o prepare graduat es for eit her immediat e employment or for cont inuing st udies at t he graduat e level.
Requirement s for t he B.S. MEE program appear below. For t he first five semest ers t he recommended sequence of courses for t he B.S. MEE program is
ident ical t o t he recommended program for t he degree B.S. in aerospace engineering (AEE), which demonst rat es t he similarit y and complement ary nat ure of
t he t wo disciplines. Courses carrying t he prefix MAE indicat e t hat class mat erial and assignment s are drawn from bot h aerospace and mechanical
engineering applicat ions.
Beginning in t he sixt h semest er st udent s who follow t he B.S. MEE program begin t o t ake courses addressing engineering t opics unique t o mechanical
engineering, including machine design and manufact uring and heat t ransfer. The last t hree semest ers of t he MEE program also include courses of more broad
applicat ions, including dynamics of mechanical syst ems and linear cont rol syst ems.
Experience wit h open-ended design problems is obt ained in a sequence of courses t hat span t he ent ire curriculum. The sequence begins wit h int roduct ory
design experiences in t he first -year courses ECS 101 and MAE 184.
Upper-division courses involving design include courses in machine design and manufact uring, and senior capst one design. The t wo-semest er capst one design
experience (MEE 471,472) requires st udent s t o int egrat e knowledge from all areas in t he design of a complet e product or syst em.
The B.S. MEE curriculum allows for programs of st udy t hat can be t ailored by st udent s t o t ake advant age of t he diversit y of st rengt hs across bot h ECS and
all of Syracuse Universit y. We provide engineering st udent s wit h opport unit ies t o complet e minors in areas t hat can complement t echnical knowledgesuch
as int ernat ional affairs, business, and public policyt hus enhancing t he value and at t ract iveness of a Syracuse engineering educat ion. St udent s can also elect
t o pursue a t echnical minor or t ake a dist ribut ion of elect ives, which will include liberal art s classes, free elect ives, and addit ional dept h in mechanical
engineering. There are a t ot al of 24 elect ive credit s in t he B.S. MEE program, at least 3 of which must be chosen from t he social sciences or humanit ies
(SS/H). The remaining 21 credit s allow program cust omizat ion for each st udent , and can be dist ribut ed in any of t hree different ways:
(1) complet ion of a non-t echnical Universit y minor and 3 addit ional free credit s;
(2) 18 credit s t oward a t echnical minor and 3 credit s of SS/H;
(3) a dist ribut ion of elect ives:
a. at least 6 credit s of SS/H
b. at least 9 credit s of t echnical elect ives
c. at least 6 credit s of free elect ives
MEE st udent s usually select t echnical elect ives from courses offered by t he Depart ment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE); a list of
recommended courses is below.
St udent s are st rongly encouraged t o develop a plan for select ions of t heir elect ives during t heir first year. The planning process should include discussions
wit h t he st udent s academic advisor, ot her facult y members, and peer advisers. The MAE depart ment offers most undergraduat e t echnical elect ive courses
on a t wo-year cycle. As a result , it may be necessary for a st udent t o modify t he sequence of courses recommended below t o accommodat e a t echnical
elect ive course of personal int erest .
In addit ion t o successfully complet ing t he requirement s for t he mechanical engineering program, graduat es from t his program must also achieve t he
following st udent out comes:
422
an abilit y t o apply knowledge of mat hemat ics, science, and engineering

Message From The Dean
Elizabeth D. Liddy
The great est challenge facing us in our increasingly digit al world is t he pot ent ial for t he wealt h of informat ion t hat now exist s t o creat e a povert y of
at t ent ion. We as a societ y need t o bet t er organize, represent , locat e, and provide informat ion efficient ly and effect ively, or risk being consumed by t his
overabundance of informat ion. That s where t he Syracuse Universit y School of Informat ion St udies (iSchool) makes one of it s most significant
cont ribut ions.
We connect people t o t he informat ion t hey seek so t hey can make t he best decisions for t heir organizat ionswhet her t heir business is commerce,
government , ent ert ainment , communicat ions, medicine, educat ion, or human services. All of t hese organizat ions make decisions and t ake act ions based on
t he informat ion t hat is known. Our graduat es ensure t hat t hey have t he most accurat e and appropriat e informat ion from which t o base t hose decisions.
Our expert ise in informat ion management is at t ract ing t he at t ent ion of companies as well as government s and organizat ions around t he globe t hat compet e
t o recruit our graduat es. For inst ance, financial services giant , JPMorgan Chase, init iat ed a collaborat ion wit h Syracuse Universit y, part ly because of t he
iSchools No. 1 ranking in informat ion syst ems and excellent reput at ion across all of it s programs. Our facult y members are now working wit h JPMorgan

Vision And Values
The School of Informat ion St udies, est ablished in 1896 and renamed as t he first Informat ion School in 1974, has a long t radit ion of leading innovat ion and
change. Our ideals and values are t he foundat ion for our success.
Our Vi si on
To expand human capabilit ies t hrough informat ion.
What mat t ers is t hat we make a difference in everyt hing we do, and t hat t his difference is a posit ive one affect ing individuals, organizat ion, and ult imat ely
societ y. We int end t o add value t o societ y t hrough educat ion and t hrough t he informat ion, syst ems, and services we help t o creat e. We pledge t o do t his
et hically, compet ent ly, professionally, wit h respect for t he individual, and wit h passion.
Our Val ues
Inqui ry. We are dedicat ed t o explorat ion. Explorat ion and innovat ion are crit ically import ant t o t he informat ion field and a vit al part of our
school. We share t he universit y's vision of being a leading st udent -cent ered research universit y by dedicat ion t o being a st udent -cent ered research
college. We promot e t his aim t hrough discovery, development , applicat ion, int egrat ion, and act ive learning.
Indi vi dual i ty. We are commit t ed t o t he individual. High-performance organizat ions are composed of high-performance individuals. Our facult y,
st aff, st udent s, and part ners are risk t akers who have a high t olerance for ambiguit y. While we value our work t oget her in a highly spirit ed t eam
at mosphere, we value t he individual, and respect individualit y as such. Our organizat ional norms dict at e t hat we are relent less in at t acking
problems, but support ive in valuing individual differences.
Di versi ty. We are int ellect ually diverse. Complex problems require mult idimensional and int erdisciplinary analysis and solut ions. The school
fost ers a mult iplicit y of voices addressing t he import ant areas of t eaching and research in t he informat ion field. The school seeks facult y from
many relat ed disciplines who respect a diversit y of opinion and perspect ive, and t hrive on t he t ension of discussion and debat e.
Adaptabi l i ty. We are adapt ive and able t o evolve. Today's compet it ive, complex, and ever-changing environment requires innovat ion, flexibilit y,
and rapid responses. Our init iat ives and development al processes are driven by a Do-Learn-Revise model. This model encourages ent repreneurship
and risk-t aking, celebrat ing success as a communit y achievement and embracing challenge as a learning opport unit y.
Uni ty. We are a facult y of one. The facult y sit s as a whole, not as individuals or groups who represent one specific program in which t hey t each or
ascribe affiliat ion. St udent s and facult y are challenged t o benefit from t he paradox of a single informat ion field manifest ed in many professional
expressions. St udent s and facult y learn from each ot her by shared int ellect ual experiences and by appropriat e curriculum int egrat ion across t he
degree programs.
Conti nui ty. We are an enduring organizat ion. Wit h over a cent ury of innovat ion and leadership behind us, t he school makes an enduring

Supply chain management requires a dist inct ive view of business: procurement , manufact uring, and dist ribut ion must be viewed and cont rolled as a seamless
flow. Good supply chain managers eliminat e delays and reduce t he amount of resources t ied up all along t he chain. To perform effect ively, a company must
learn t o funct ion as a single organism, and people at every level must look beyond t he old rules.
An underst anding of supply chain management is an asset t o any manager, and t here is a st rong demand for specialist s who can comprehend and manage t he

video mediums complex nat ure and pot ent ial power. At first , st udent s develop ideas wit h t heir inst ruct ors, but in t he junior and senior years, t heir work
becomes increasingly self-direct ed. The goal is t he emergence of independent , personally mot ivat ed work.
The art video program is support ed by a mult iple-format video facilit y. Product ion equipment includes mini-DV camcorders, digit al audio field recorders,
and necessary peripherals. Post -product ion suit es include digit al non-linear edit ing syst ems; mult i-format , mult i-st andard dubbing st at ions; dedicat ed, digit al,

This major is designed t o prepare st udent s for careers in video art (a mult idisciplinary field focused on creat ive video informat ion design).
In addit ion t o becoming independent video art ist s, art video graduat es may become specialist s in a growing number of professional sect ors, including music
