Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of shortlisting universities for applying. Stony Brook University seems interesting to me, could anyone give me an overview of the different majors available there? I'm more inclined towards the Science field, but I am open to explore. Thanks a lot!
Sure, happy to help!
Stony Brook University offers a wide range of academic majors, with particular strength in the sciences. In terms of Natural Sciences, you've got a lot to choose from, including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, and Environmental Science. Under Biology itself, there are specializations like Marine Sciences, Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Ecology and Evolution.
If you're interested in the Health Sciences, consider their programs in Health Science, Nursing, or Pharmacology. There are also interdisciplinary programs that cross over between sciences and other fields. For instance, the Bioengineering, Chemical and Molecular Engineering, and Technological Systems Management programs connect the sciences with engineering principles.
On the other hand, if you are open to non-science fields, you could consider majors within the School of Humanities and Fine Arts, School of Business, or the School of Journalism. They offer different programs like English, History, Psychology, Business Management, Accounting, Finance, and Journalism.
Remember that college is a time of exploration so don't feel like you have to limit yourself. You could balance your science major with interesting electives outside of that discipline. It's about figuring out what you love and can thrive doing. Good luck with your college search!
