<p>If you get into Newhouse, you can pretty much do whatever you want in terms of Dual Programs and whatnot. Its kind of like, since you made it into NH you’d probably get into Whitman/iSchool etc, so all you have to do is fill out a form and talk to an advisor about doing it. The dual program is a cool idea, but do not make the decision lightly. You will be doing practically DOUBLE the course load of a typical student, graduating somewhere around 160-170 credit hours (most majors only require 122). If you do the math, that means that if you maxed out at 6 classes or 18 credits a semester (you can register for 19 without having to pay more until your Junior year when you can petition to take more credits for no additional cost) for 8 semesters, that is only 144 credits in 4 years. This means you either better come in with a lot of AP credit, or get ready to take summer classes from other colleges either online, in person, or at SU’s Maymester program which will cost you more money than the <em>regular</em> $54,000 a year bill. </p>
<p>Just something to keep in mind from someone who is doing it now. I enjoy the program, but they don’t really tell you the amount of work it is. For reference, most Fresh/Sophomores usually take 5 classes a semester. One more doesn’t seem like much, but it can start to hurt around finals.</p>
<p>When will we hear back if we applied regular decision?</p>
<p>Accepted ED to Newhouse as journalism major. Was my dream school. Got next to nothing in terms of financial aid. Doesn’t look like I’ll be able to go. Pretty bummed :(</p>
<p>Is Syracuse known for its newhouse?!</p>
<p>limelonred, Yes, the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication at Syracuse University is renowned - best journalism school in the country.</p>
<p>I guess theres no point in coming here for engineering lol</p>
<p>@limelonred, Actually, the engineering school at SU is well known and respected. I personally know two EE graduates who have done very well after graduation.</p>
<p>@lilmelon
Going to SU for engineering. Chose this school over many other acceptances with more $$ offered. 98% students got jobs or grad school. LC Smith excellent college.</p>
<p>@rstone91 If you join the dual enrollment program and then decide it is not for you, can you drop out of it and stick with Newhouse? What about if you applied to the dual program in the first place?</p>
<p>@Pkramer15 - Yeah, you can drop at any time, just don’t wait until you’re a Junior to figure it out… If you drop you’d have to complete the regular NH requirements, which are not exactly the same as the dual (the dual gets rid of some requirements like having to take a language). You’d also have to pick up a minor in the event of dropping the second major (if you stuck with NH). </p>
<p>I applied to the dual program in the first place, and I thought about changing it a few times, but after a while it wasn’t worth it (because I had taken so many Whitman classes), and I know deep down that a dual major is worth more than just one major.</p>
<p>@rstone91 I was accepted into the dual program (NH/Whitman) and am really starting to consider whether it’s worth it - because they only really gave us the positive side of the dual program on my visit. Do you feel the work is overwhelming? Do you get time to go out and enjoy yourself a little bit? What you said before about 160-170 credits is pretty intimidating.</p>
