Credits:
Participants in the Brockport Brunel University Liberal Arts Program normally earn between 13 and 18 credits per semester. This is made up of three credit hours for the core course, and 10-15 for the Brunel courses. Most Brunel courses carry 20 Brunel credits, or five Brockport credit hours, but a few carry only 10 Brunel credits (which are equivalent to three Brockport credits).
Curriculum:
Participants in the Brockport Brunel University Liberal Arts Program take a 3 credit core course tailor-made for program participants, plus direct enrollment in two or three Brunel University courses. The elective courses are chosen from the regular course offerings at Brunel. Most Brunel courses last for the full academic year, starting in September, and ending in late May. For students participating for the academic year, this presents no difficulty, of course. Fall semester students simply take the first part of the course, and this too is generally unproblematic, since there is a break in teaching in December. Students are assessed by their Brunel lecturers on the part of the course they have taken.
