Just a few questions...

<p>How well known and prestigious is Syracuse and how challenging are its academics? All that I really know is the communications school is well known, but how about the business school?</p>

<p>Can anyone explain dual-enrollment a little bit?</p>

<p>I found this on Syracuse's website:
"Dual enrollment means you apply to two different colleges and have two different majors, but you receive a single bachelor's degree granted by both colleges. Most dual enrollments are readily completed in four years; you must satisfy major requirements in each college."</p>

<p>I've been accepted to the iSchool, but am leaning towards a business degree, from what I've read I can declare dual enrollment with Whitman the day schooling starts, so I would get a BBA and not an information degree even though my primary school is the iSchool? </p>

<p>How hard would it be to transfer into Whitman after a year or two? (anyone transferred into Whitman before?)</p>

<p>Also I found that Syracuse's website is not indexed too well with google, kinda sucks...</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You can transfer easily when school starts, i have friends who did. Transferring to Whitman is not difficult at all. The business school isnt REALLY well known but Syracuse itself is. The business school is good but obviously no Wharton.</p>

<p>To transfer into Whitman for your sophomore year (or maybe your spring semester) you need at least a 3.3 GPA and must have taken ECN 203 (Economics 203) and MAT 183. Look up those two classes when it’s time for registration. Those are the requirements for every student trying to internally transfer into Whitman. That way, you’re on par with the current Whitman students when you reach your sophomore year.</p>

<p>Whitman is very challenging but the most challenging schools are the Architecture school, LC smith college of Engineering and Newhouse. </p>

<p>Newhouse is among the top 3 Journalism schools
The Architecture school is rated at #3 for design intelligence rankings.
Not so sure about engineering and the Whitman rankings.</p>
