My daughter is a junior dual in Whitman/Newhouse.
Pros:

She and her friends have been offered great internships/starting jobs

SU is great with AP/IB/CLEP and transfer credits

Making great contacts with professors, mentors, and company recruiters

Easy to drop either Whitman or Newhouse if one wants a single major
Cons:

Lots of credits needed: Minimum 145-151

Need strong quantitative as well as communications skills
My daughter loves Cuse and is so glad she is a dual. She came in with a semester of credits and took another 16 credits over the summer and winter sessions. She takes a normal course load and will graduate in 4 years. She may be able to finish as a part time student and save money too!
Good Luck!
