Welcome from Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost Agnew

Dear Students, 

Welcome to Syracuse University’s digital course catalog. This searchable resource allows you to easily find detailed academic information spanning everything from course descriptions to co-curricular opportunities such as study abroad and study away. The catalog also includes information about the Shared Competencies, a set of integrated learning goals that help you connect your studies to skill sets that are valuable to future employers and graduate programs. Many courses are tagged to show how they align with these goals.

Using the digital course catalog, you will discover new opportunities to be inspired and challenged, and find the information you need to shape the course of your academic journey. The robust and diverse array of courses described in this catalog demonstrates our commitment to providing you with an evolving, multifaceted and enriching experience as you pursue your unique personal, academic and professional goals.

I encourage you to explore this catalog thoroughly and take full advantage of the opportunities that tap into your passions and support your goals in order to make your Syracuse University experience both distinctive and deeply rewarding.

About the Course Catalog

The Syracuse University undergraduate and graduate course catalogs are published online each July and are primarily intended for use by currently enrolled students, as well as faculty and staff. The catalogs provide an overview of the University’s curriculum, academic programs, facilities and educational resources. They also include University academic policies, rules, regulations and procedures; information about degree and certificate programs, including degree requirements; a listing and description of courses; and faculty rosters. In addition, the catalogs include descriptions of many opportunities, programs and resources that enhance academic life, such as study abroad and study away programs, centers for interdisciplinary learning and immersion opportunities across the U.S. and around the world.

Please be aware that the information concerning academic requirements, courses and programs of study does not establish an irrevocable contract between the student and the University. The University can change, discontinue or add academic requirements, courses and programs of study at any time without notice, though every effort will be made to provide timely notice of any changes. It is the responsibility of the individual student to confirm that all appropriate degree requirements are met.
