College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS)
Welcome to Stony Brook and to the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences! We are looking forward to working with you over the next several years and hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities available to you as a CEAS student.
Undergraduate Student Office
(Room 127, Engineering, 631-632-8381)
The Undergraduate Student Office provides a variety of services to undergraduate students within the College, including general academic advising, appropriate referrals for advising within a specific major, D.E.C. (Diversified Education Curriculum) requirement advising, and assistance with processing transfer credits. The Undergraduate Student Office also receives and processes student petitions to the CEAS Committee on Academic Standing and Appeals (CASA). Student organizations, including professional and honor societies, maintain mailboxes within the Undergraduate Student Office, and scholarships and internships for CEAS students are also coordinated through this office (see below). The Undergraduate Student Office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Academic Departments: Once you have been admitted to a specific major within the College, you will work with your academic department for advice on course requirements and electives within your major. If you have not yet been admitted into a specific department within CEAS or wish to change majors within the College, you should visit the appropriate department to discuss admission requirements and criteria.
Internship Program: The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences manages an extensive internship program for students in engineering and applied science disciplines. Students interested in obtaining an internship with an outside organization should contact the Undergraduate Student Office (Room 127, Engineering) for information on position postings and application procedures. Internships obtained through CEAS are paid and may or may not include academic credit.
Scholarships: CEAS students may apply for a variety of scholarships available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Applications can be obtained from the Undergraduate Student Office (Room 127, Engineering) beginning in early December for the following academic year.
A Word from the Undergraduate Program Directors . . .
Each academic program has an undergraduate program director who serves as the administrative coordinator for services and issues related to undergraduate students within the department. You should consult the program director if you are seeking admission into a specific program or have questions regarding curriculum requirements for a particular major. The undergraduate program directors welcome our new CEAS students with the following remarks:
