The Delta Curriculum
The Delta curriculum not only meets all SUNY Brockport general education requirements/learning objectives, it does so in a coherent and sequential fashion.
Delta College is fundamentally interdisciplinary and we are always seeking to bring a multitude of perspectives to bear on a particular topic. Our faculty, staff, and students come from an array of disciplines.
For example, three students majoring in history, a geology, and anthropology covered the topic of how social media impacts the development of communities in the modern world. Students gathered information from various sources to present their own take on the topic.
These exchanges challenge both faculty and students to grapple with the diverse and interesting topics and make conclusions with a broader range of shared knowledge.

Students who are already taking science classes for their major may waive the science courses from their curriculum.

Early Registration
Delta students complete their Delta and major requirements simultaneously. The Delta curriculum is sequential in nature and therefore requires students to have flexibility in scheduling their major courses. For this reason, Delta students have the privilege of registering for their courses on the first day. This allows them to select the courses, instructors, and class sections they need and prefer.
