Academic life at Brockport isn t confined to the four walls of a classroom or even the perimeters of its campus. Students at the undergraduate level conduct original research, pursue scholarly and creative works, complete internships and study abroad.

10 EXPERTISE World-class faculty prepare students for academic and professional success. Remarkable value. That s what students receive from our School of Business Administration and Economics. Brockport is one of just 727 institutions in the world that is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) the gold standard in business education. That places our business school in the top five percent of business schools internationally, while our students pay one of the lowest tuition rates in the nation. Internships provide our students with an invaluable pipeline into professional practice. And often, Brockport is presented with more internship opportunities for our students than we are able to fill. That s because they arrive ready to work. For example, our finance students have the opportunity to become Bloomberg certified. We possess the same Bloomberg terminals that they ll be asked to use by their employers. But for a Brockport student, no training is necessary. Brockport business graduates are in high demand. Below is a small sampling of where our graduates have started their careers: Citigroup Coca-Cola JP Morgan Chase Merrill Lynch Wealth Kyle Amendola 09 has forged a career that has Management included stops with two Fortune 500 companies Xerox both in the top 60 to be exact.

12 INTEGRITY Learn to view the world through a diversified lens.

13 Students arrive to our School of Education and Human Services seeking to become a social worker, counselor, teacher, public or school administrator or a criminal justice practitioner and they acquire a blend of practical and theoretical knowledge that equips them to do just that. They ll also be prepared to make a positive impact on society. Each student s education regardless of major addresses three key themes: Ethics: Our graduates won t always have a supervisor standing over them. They ll be independent practitioners. Therefore, making ethical decisions should be intuitive. We ll ensure it is. Diversity/cultural competence: Each community is unique. We develop practitioners who appreciate the richness of the communities they serve and possess the skills necessary to effectively engage with complex societies. Social Justice: Our students believe that their chosen profession should have a social benefit. They are encouraged to discover ways they can take what they learned during their Brockport experience and advocate on behalf of disadvantaged populations. Practical skills along with these key competencies combine to prepare our students for long, successful and difference-making careers in their field of choice. Visit us at

14 PREPARA Learn here, go anywhere. Students in our School of Health and Human Performance are the beneficiaries of top-notch instruction from some of the finest faculty in the country. Our faculty choose to come to Brockport because they want to spend a considerable portion of their time in a classroom, not strictly in a research laboratory. They work hard to ensure that our students education is not only grounded in sound theory, but that they have an opportunity to put that research into practice. Nearly every program within the school requires students to complete an internship before graduating. That s because we believe that an undergraduate experience is not complete without an opportunity to apply the skills learned in the classroom. Visit us at
