Company Overview

Stony Brook is one of America’s most dynamic public universities and a center of academic excellence that offers all students a world-class education with an 18:1 student to faculty ratio and a top 40 public university ranking from U.S. News and World Report. Stony Brook University offers more than 200 undergraduate programs, more than 100 master’s programs and more than 50 doctoral programs to over 26,000 students. Stony Brook University, widely regarded as a SUNY flagship institution, was established in 1957 as a college for the preparation of secondary school teachers of mathematics and science. The first campus was located in Oyster Bay, Long Island, on the grounds of a former Gold Coast estate. In 1962, a new campus was built near the historic village of Stony Brook on land donated by local philanthropist Ward Melville.

Part of the State University of New York system, the Stony Brook University has grown tremendously and is now recognized as one of the nation’s important centers of learning and scholarship — carrying out the mandate given by the State Board of Regents in 1960 to become a university that would “stand with the finest in the country.” The University campus lies about 60 miles east of Manhattan and 60 miles west of Montauk Point.
