Stony Brook University

Opportunities abound

Stony Brook’s active and vibrant campus life is filled with co-curricular experiences to complement our academic curriculum and enhance the overall college experience.

Diversity

At Stony Brook University, we define the rich diversity of our students, faculty, clinicians and staff to be both a defining characteristic and an essential source of strength for our campus community.

As the Nation evolves, the terms “diversity”, “equity” and “inclusion” (DEI) have progressed to represent persons from a growing array of backgrounds, cultures, identities and experiences, to name a few.

Far Beyond Academics

Hundreds of clubs and student organizations, intramural and Division I sports teams, art, music and cultural events throughout the year keep our diverse student body involved, active and entertained.

Stony Brook, one of America’s most dynamic public universities, is New York’s flagship university and No. 1 public university.
