Credits:

A typical academic program will consist of fifteen credit hours of course work (earned typically in five three-credit hour courses, but other combinations are possible). All credits earned in the Brockport University of Ghana Program will be counted towards SUNY undergraduate degree requirements for graduation. Non-SUNY students and students who wish to use these credits for their academic major and/or minor should consult with their home campus academic departments prior to participation. Letter grades for the courses taken will be transmitted to the participants' home campus registrars via the Brockport transcript supplement at the conclusion of the semester.

Curriculum:

Each participant in the Brockport University of Ghana Program will select an individual program of study from the more than 350 courses available to overseas students. Typically, this will be done prior to departure through the Office of International Education at Brockport (in consultation with the student's home department and the Office of International Student Services at University of Ghana).

A participant in the Brockport University of Ghana program is expected to carry a course load equivalent to that of a University of Ghana undergraduate degree candidate. However unlike a Ghanaian degree candidate, a Brockport program participant may choose her/his courses from the course offerings that are available in more than twenty disciplines--from African Studies to Management, Third World Studies, Economics, Religious Studies, and Anthropology.

Participants in the Brockport University of Ghana Program are examined in the same manner (and to the same standard) as their Ghanaian 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.
