Curriculum:
Prior to departure, participants in the Brockport/University of Melbourne Program will select three courses from the courses available to study abroad students at the University of Melbourne. The Study Abroad office is the first point of contact for a well-developed support network. Together with faculty advisers they also assist students with course selection and assessment of prerequisites. To maintain a full time student visa, study abroad students must complete 37.5 points per semester, or 75 points per year. Subjects can be taken across most faculties: Architecture, Arts, Economics and Commerce, Education, Engineering, Land and Food Resources, Law, Music, and Science. All instruction in the Brockport/University of Melbourne Program is by University of Melbourne faculty.
Participants in the Brockport/University of Melbourne Program are examined in the same manner (and to the same standard) as their Australian counterparts and classmates. The majority of courses in which they will enroll are examined formally at the end of the semester and in order to be awarded credit, participants must take and pass the examination at the end of the study period in question.
