Non-Brockport Students
For students from any of our affiliated campuses outside of Brockport, you will just enroll for the Washington Program courses through your home school, just like you would if you were staying on campus for the semester. Likewise, you will submit payment for the program through your home school as well, with the exception of the program differential, which gets paid directly to SUNY Brockport.
Acceptance to the Program
After applying, and assuming you meet the minimum requirements, you will be admitted into the program within a few days. Shortly thereafter, we will call you to discuss in greater details, your career goals and what you’re hoping to get out of this program so we have a better idea of what type of internships will be most appealing to you.
From that point forward and until you have accepted an internship somewhere, we will be sending you regular emails with suggested internships that we think you may like. It is then up to you to apply to the ones that interest you. We encourage you to apply to as many internship openings as you can, because many of them are competitive. Persistent applications will increase your odds of finding an internship.
