University Description
One of SUNY’s four university centers, Stony Brook offers a full spectrum of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through the doctoral degree. Stony Brook is a major Type I research university with a medical school and 504-bed teaching hospital. Established in 1957 as New York’s comprehensive State University Center for the New York Metropolitan area, the campus has grown to a student body of over 23,500 students including 15,525 undergraduate (66 % minority) and approximately 8,000 graduate and professional (48% minority) students. International students from over 54 countries represent about 9% of the total student body. The opening of the Charles B. Wang Center in 2003—a facility devoted to the celebration of Asian and American cultures, is just one symbol of the University’s commitment to serving a diverse student population. Stony Brook’s missions include teaching, research, health care, and regional development.
Region Description
The campus spreads out over 1,100 heavily wooded acres on Long Island’s north shore. Located at the border of suburban and rural Long Island, equidistant from the western and eastern ends, Stony Brook offers the best of many worlds. The University is less than sixty miles from Manhattan, which is easily accessible by train or car, yet the tranquility of Long Island’s rural areas and seashores are nearby. The campus lies about one mile from Long Island Sound and less than fifteen miles from the wide sandy beaches of the Atlantic on Fire Island, Long Island’s protected National Seashore.
From campus it’s an easy bicycle ride to picturesque villages and harbors of the North Shore or Long Island Sound beaches where spectacular sunsets and some of the best windsurfing on the East Coast can be enjoyed. A short drive will take you to spectacular Atlantic beaches at Fire Island, vineyards of the North Fork, or the elegant resorts of the Hamptons. And, with a Long Island Railroad Station right on the perimeter of the campus, a two-hour train ride will bring you to the heart of one of the most exciting cities in the world — New York City.
