1. Students enrolled at Brockport
2. Transfer students from other colleges and universities (must have at least 15 grade-bearing credits (not S/U) at Brockport and a transfer GPA of at least 3.0)

Our program has prerequisites for admission for transfer students. Learn more about our admission requirements and progression, applicant suitability guidelines and our typical course progression.
