Music

Our Department of Music has a highly respected international reputation and a professional, collaborative and innovative character. Distinguished faculty, balanced student-to-faculty ratio, and the University’s proximity to New York City make Stony Brook’s program unique. The Emerson String Quartet and Calidore String Quartet are ensembles in residence at the University.

English

We combine the high academic standards of a major research university with the intimacy of a liberal arts college. Students can  explore a wide range of themes as they  interact closely with faculty who are active writers.  An English degree from Stony Brook provides the foundation for success in many fields.
