Psychology is a fascinating area of study, and Stony Brook's degree programs will help you discover the intricacies of human behavior. We offer both Major, Bachelor of Arts and Major, Bachelor of Science degree tracks, allowing you to customize your curriculum based on your goals. Both programs offer courses in the five major areas of psychological inquiry (Biopsychology, Clinical and Abnormal Psychology, Cognition and Perception, Developmental Psychology, and Social Psychology). Our faculty are internationally known scholars, who hold editorial positions at major Psychology journals, are members of grant panels at the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, and have been awarded substantial research grants. You'll have opportunities to work alongside them in research labs and on teams that present at national conferences and publish in leading journals.

As a non-restricted major, there are no additional admission requirements for this program. Please review the general admission criteria related to how you are applying.
Your college decision isn't really about the next four years. We get it. It’s about what doors are opened by your degree and whether those opportunities are what you had envisioned for yourself. Nearly 95% of SBU grads are employed or go to professional or graduate school. Here's a snapshot of what life after graduation looks like for some of them.
