The College at Brockport: State University of New York, also known as SUNY Brockport, College at Brockport or the State University of New York at Brockport, is a four-year liberal arts college located in Brockport, Monroe County, New York, near Rochester. It is a constituent college of the State University of New York, and belongs to Tier 2 within the SUNY system.
The college has seen tremendous improvement in quality since year 1997 including the shift from Tier 3 to Tier 2, a rise in the average SAT scores from 1,029 ('97) to 1,115 ('06), and an increase in high-school averages from 84.4 ('97) to 90.5 ('06). SUNY Brockport has also undergone significant renovations of the campus with more than $200 million planned for reconstruction by year 2020.
The most popular major at SUNY Brockport is Business Administration & Economics with more than 1,000 students in enrollment.
The Brockport campus also played host to the International Special Olympics on August 8-13, 1979.
SUNY Brockport opened as the Brockport Collegiate Institute in 1841, and later became the Brockport State Normal School in 1866.
The last Normal School class graduated in 1942 after which the school officially became a college, meaning it could grant the bachelor's degree. (Normal School graduates received only a certificate of study when they finished, which entitled them to teach in the New York State schools.) This enhancement of status was due in good part to the efforts of President Ernest Hartwell, who, like Malcolm MacVicar and many other Brockport figures, played a leading role in the education movements of the time. Starting as Brockport State Teachers College, the new school was automatically included in the new SUNY system which was established in 1948.
The years after World War II were a time of tremendous growth for higher education, as thousands of veterans went to college on the G.I. Bill. Brockport began a period of expansion in that time that was unprecedented in the school's history.
