General Education at Brockport

All students are required to complete the College at Brockport's General Education Program which incorporates changes mandated by the SUNY Board of Trustees and SUNY System Administration implemented in fall 2000, in addition to Brockport's local requirements and competency examinations as appropriate. They are applicable to all incoming students, though some exceptions may be applied to students who began college prior to fall 2000. Information on Brockport's General Education program can be found in the Undergraduate Studies Catalog. For information on how your transfer status impacts your own General Education requirements, refer to the charts below.

Each SUNY institution has identified courses that have been approved by SUNY to fill the SUNY knowledge and skills areas (the SUNY 10) (Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, American History, Western Civilization, Other World Civilizations, Humanities, The Arts, Foreign Language, and Basic Communication). Brockport will abide by those decisions since any course at one SUNY college that has been approved by SUNY as meeting a specific General Education requirement meets that requirement at all SUNY institutions. Please check with your SUNY institution for the list of courses that fill these requirements, or go to Reports of Approved Courses, by Campus.

Note: Within the SUNY 10 any course used by an individual student to satisfy the Humanities category may not be used to satisfy any other subject category, and no single course may be used to satisfy more than two categories.

If you are currently attending a non-SUNY institution, your transcript(s) will be evaluated for General Education requirements at SUNY Brockport upon entry to the College.
