Stony Brook University: Imagine the Possibilities

Stony Brook University has ranked in the top 1 percent of all universities in the world in the London Times Higher Education—QS World University Rankings. The Wall Street Journal ranked us eighth in the nation among public institutions for placing students in elite graduate schools in medicine, law, and business. And Payscale.com placed Stony Brook at No. 18 on a list public colleges with top-earning graduates. 

Our distinguished alumni range from ambassadors to Broadway costume designers, from journalists to CEOs, and from financial analysts to university presidents! Undergraduates can prepare for a broad spectrum of careers, choosing from nearly 150 majors and minors and a number of combined bachelor/master degree programs, including a fast-track combined-degree MBA program through the College of Business.

Our School of Journalism is committed to one big idea—to produce smart, well-trained journalists with the courage to do the right thing and with a passion for the public interest. The digital revolution is unleashing a flood of information. The job of a journalist is to separate real news from disinformation, propaganda, and spin. The challenges are immense, but so are the rewards.

Our School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS), recently ranked seventh in marine biology and third in physical oceanography, according to national rankings of doctoral programs by Academic Analytics as reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education, can help you get started on a career in marine sciences, oceanography, meteorology, or marine biology, or the environment.
 
Through our College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) students can choose from a wide range of ABET-accredited engineering programs, including biomedical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical and molecular engineering, and electrical engineering.

Our location on the North Shore of Long Island, 60 miles east of New York City, is ideal. Historic villages, harbors, and beaches are only a bicycle ride away.  Yet, with a Long Island Rail Road station right on campus, students have easy access to JFK International Airport and the cultural vitality of New York City
