(Please note that we have revised the mode of compiling the numbers. Because the task of breaking "alive" programs into groups of either "active" or "inactive" proved to be too cumbersome and inaccurate, there are now two subcategories of program: Programs in Force and Terminated Programs )        

There is a temporary problem in the computational algorithm, and the subtotals aren't adding up correctly. Treat the numbers as OK to within 3-4 until this is corrected.

Total Overseas Programs	1002	(Code-bearing - in force or terminated)
Programs in Force	621	(Both OAPs and exchanges)
OAPs in Force	445
Exchanges in Force	174
Terminated Programs	383	(Code-bearing - terminated)
Pending Programs	9	(Awaiting final signoff and code)

   OAP "Firsts" at SUNY

Who had the first overseas program? Buff State's program in Siena was established in 1961. According to Lee Ann, there may have been other programs before that, but theirs is definitely the oldest, continuously operating one. Oswego: 1963 in Puerto Rico. Cortland started sending students to Neuch�tel, Switzerland in 1964. Albany's records of study abroad transcripts start with 1969. RCC is also 1969. AND THE WINNER IS: SUNY Brockport has had study abroad programs since 1953.

Thanks to Penny Schouten for putting this together
