Stony Brook University (SBU), also known as the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNYSB), is a public research university located in Stony Brook, New York (on the north side of Long Island, about 65 miles east of Manhattan, New York). Stony Brook is the second highest ranked of the four university centers in the State University of New York system, and has an enrollment of more than 22,000 students. The university was founded in 1957 as the State University College on Long Island with about 100 students enrolled. Although Stony Brook is a state institution, private philanthropy plays an ever-increasing role in the development of the university. Stony Brook’s endowment, managed by the Stony Brook Foundation, currently amounts to over $100 million. The University is divided into numerous schools: Stony Brook is also one of only ten national universities awarded a 1998 National Science Foundation recognition award for integrating research and education. Stony Brook is also one of only two public schools in New York to have a medical school and a dental school, the other being University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. The only three private schools in New York to have both a medical school and a dental school are University of Rochester (see: University of Rochester Medical Center), New York University (see: New York University College of Dentistry), and Columbia University (see: Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery). The Marine Sciences Research Center is the State University of New York’s center for marine and atmospheric research, education, and public service. It is home to the Stony Brook University Medical Center. On November 3, 2005, the University announced that it had formally acquired 246 acres of the adjacent Flowerfield property, originally owned by the Gyrodyne Company of America, through eminent domain, three years after the University had expressed its desire to acquire the property. Stony Brook intends to use the property as a research and development campus with the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology, expected to be completed in 2008, as the first anchor research facility. In 2002 the University established a presence in Manhattan with the opening of “Stony Brook Manhattan.” In the fall of 2005, the University began offering an undergraduate marine sciences program, with teaching and research facilities at the campus of Southampton College, leased from Long Island University, on the east end of Long Island. On March 24, 2006, the University announced a final agreement for the purchase of the 81-acre Southampton College property from Long Island University with the intent to develop it as a full college campus focusing on academic programs related to the environment and sustainability. Stony Brook is the second highest ranked University Center in the 64-school SUNY system. In the recent US News and World Report, Stony Brook Computer Science graduate program has been ranked 34th, tied with Ohio State University, University of California–Santa Barbara, University of Chicago , University of Colorado–Boulder , and the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities. In the last year, Stony Brook has been ranked as the 136th best university in the world—out of more than 8,300—by the London-based Times Higher Education Supplement. For greater information, see People associated with State University of New York at Stony Brook There have been many notable research projects and important scientific discoveries at Stony Brook.

Stony Brook University Financial Aid

Ranking among the “100 Best Values in Higher Education” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine, Stony Brook is already an incredible value. But for those students who need further tuition assistance, Stony Brook will calculate the total cost of attendance, subtract the expected family contribution (based on income, number of children, etc.) and determine a student’s real financial need. To compensate for that need, Stony Brook provides numerous private scholarships in various disciplines, depending on a student’s intended major. There are also a number of federal grants and loan programs available to students who demonstrate real need and who complete the FAFSA prior to application.

Students with real ingenuity can attempt to fashion their own boat and parade in the Roth Pond Regatta, one of Stony Brook’s most beloved events.

And for the culturally sensitive, Stony Brook hosts an annual Diversity Day when the various segments and lifestyles on campus are celebrated by a number of clubs and organizations campus-wide.
