Description: The Brockport Stirling Program is a one-semester program offered in both the fall and spring semesters. The objective of the Brockport Sterling Program is to provide an opportunity for American undergraduates to become, during their semester of participation, actual University of Stirling undergraduates to attend the same classes, to live in the same housing, to participate in the same social cultural, athletic sporting and academic extracurricular activities as their Scottish counterparts.

"SUNY Brockport study abroad programs are for students matriculated in the US only, US students only."

Highlights: Stirling, located in the heart of central Scotland, and less than 1 hour from both Edinburgh and Glasgow is home to the William Wallace national monument and picturesque Stirling Castle. The University of Stirling is just 2 miles from the city centre and has long provided a warm and friendly study environment which has encouraged many recent participants to extend the length of their study abroad experience. Upon application, students select three (usually 5 US-credit) courses from the broad range offered across a wide variety of subject areas and at varying levels. All instruction is by University of Stirling faculty and is normally a combination of lectures, small group seminars, presentations and practical classes. Field of study include Scottish History, Film and Media Studies, Politics, Religious Studies, Psychology, Business, Computing Science, Economics, Humanities, Biological and Environmental Sciences and English Literature. Housing is in a range of University-owned accommodation (flats or chalets) either on campus or in Stirling itself. Typically, the fall semester runs from September-December and spring from February-May. The summer academic program runs for 8 weeks from June-August and students can earn up to 7.5 credits.
