SPD Curriculum and Special Programs |
Graduate Programs
SPD's Division of Graduate Studies is dedicated to meeting
the needs of the working professional. By providing courses at night,
on Saturdays, and online, SPD makes it possible for you to pursue part-time
graduate study at Stony Brook.
SPD offers seven master's degree, eight advanced graduate
certificate and three post-graduate certificate programs. Five of
these master's degree programs lead directly to New York State certification

Certification and Licensing Workshops
In order to meet the requirements of Chapter 544 New York
State Law (1988), which requires many licensed professionals, teachers
and school administrators applying on or after January 1, 1991 for the
renewal of a license, registration, certificate or limited permit to complete
coursework regarding child abuse, substance abuse and school violence,
SPD offers three one-session workshops in these subjects at a minimal
cost. Details>>
Opportunities for Seniors
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Stony Brook University (OLLI) is an SPD program that is open to all retired
and semi-retired individuals who are interested in expanding their intellectual
horizons in a university setting. While OLLI is peer-taught,
SPD also offers an auditing program that allows seniors to sit in on University
courses on a space-available basis.

Learning website.
