The University's curriculum is grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and emphasizes experiential learning.

Inspiring excellence through growth, engagement, and transformation is our mission.

The Fannie Barrier Williams Scholars program was created to support and transform the lives of students from low-income families. As a permanent tribute to her incredible advocacy and legacy, the University dedicated the Fannie Barrier Williams Liberal Arts Building in 2022.

• The Writers Forum has brought hundreds of writers-novelists, poets, playwrights, memoirists, screenwriters, cartoonists, and essayists from varied traditions-to the campus. Nobel laureates and Pulitzer winners were among them.
• State (e.g., Department of Environmental Conservation) and federal agencies (e.g., Environmental Protection Agency and National Science Foundation) are funding faculty research, including projects related to the Great Lakes, that engage both undergraduate and graduate students.
• We have strong educational partnerships and connections with school districts, healthcare organizations, and clinical settings throughout the region.
• The Joey Jackson Intercultural Center, named after a Brockport alum who is a prominent criminal defense attorney and CNN legal analyst, was created to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for underrepresented students, to help our faculty members connect with students outside of the classroom, and to provide students with opportunities for leadership development, celebration, and collaborations.
• We engage in cutting edge, meaningful research that will make a difference for practitioners around the world. Students display their scholarship activities during our annual Scholars Day celebration.
• Our faculty are recognized as outstanding educators who utilize the very best pedagogy that higher education has to offer. Brockport hosts three SUNY-recognized Distinguished Professors.
