WELCOME
to Stony Brook University UNDERGRADUATE BIOLOGY |

| Stony Brook University
is one of the nation's top public research universities and the biological
sciences departments here are among the best in the country. There are
some exciting opportunities for Biology Majors at Stony Brook. The Biology Core courses are the foundation for all the life science and pre-health programs on campus. Revised in 1999, the Core courses are designed around discovery-based laboratory activities that develop student performance in laboratory and research process. Advanced Study: At the advanced level, biology students may elect to pursue a concentration in Developmental Genetics, Ecology & Evolution, Environmental Biology, General Biology or Neuroscience. The advanced tracks are designed around areas of research excellence at Stony Brook and provide direct links to faculty-sponsored independent research in the Centers for Molecular Medicine, the Life Sciences departments and the School of Medicine. Research Opportunities: Stony Brook undergraduates benefit from being able to work one-on-one with leading scholars and research scientists. Greater than half of the Life Sciences students engage in independent research in faculty laboratories at some point during their undergraduate careers at Stony Brook, with most of them continuing for at least two semesters. Students have the option of conducting research projects with the Life Sciences faculty as well as with faculty in the School of Medicine and even at sites off campus. Facilities: Stony Brook Biology recently moved into a new state-of-the-art facility, the Biology Learning Laboratories (BLL). This new undergraduate facility is linked structurally and thematically to the research laboratories in the new Centers for Molecular Medicine and the existing Life Sciences building. The BLL houses instructional laboratories, fully equipped support facilities, and advising and administrative offices. The 16 instructional laboratories in the BLL offer research-grade equipment and close proximity to scientists working to solve the most important and exciting questions in Life Sciences.
