<p>Hello, over the past month or so I've been wondering what the dual-degree options are for students at Syracuse?
<em>Skip all of the following except the last paragraph if you don't care why I'm asking this and want to save yourself some reading.</em></p>
<p>I ask this because my academic record is decent, and would most likely get me into Syracuse, but perhaps not into Newhouse (3.25 UWGPA, 3.95W and 1200 on my SATs, along with quite a bit of Honors and AP classes with a bunch of extra curriculars including lead roles in multiple school plays, 9 in all, Band/Chorus, and Student Senate. I've also had significantly increased GPA this year, it's 3.6 unweighted, and the only reason why my cumulative GPA is so low is that I had a horrible junior year with one C each quarter). So my plan is to go to RIT, the school I got accepted to for Computer Science (I changed my mind about what I want to do heh) for a semester and then try to transfer to Syracuse after that because it has much better programs for what I want to do. </p>
<p>Because I may not get into Newhouse upon my initial acceptance due to my less-than-Newhouse high school career (I'm planning on probably getting a pretty decent GPA first semester at RIT too though since I'll be taking a lot of gen eds, so I should be looking at 3.6-3.9), and I'm want to do a dual major anyway, my question is this: is it possible to do a dual major in just about any two majors at Syracuse? I would be planning on either Broadcast Journalism with Poli Sci or Econ. This would certainly help me because if I don't get accepted as an intra-university transfer after my first semester at Syracuse, I may be spending up to my second semester sophomore year attempting to get in. Because of that, it would help me if a lot of those credits don't go to waste and then I could work on another major in the mean time.</p>
<p>So I'm really just wondering: Is it possible to dual major in Broadcast Journalism and Economics or Political Science at Syracuse? I know some colleges will only allow students to choose from a select list of dual degree programs available, and I'm not sure if Syracuse does this or if they are more liberal with their restrictions.</p>
