If you want a solid, world-class education in engineering, applied mathematics and sciences, marine science and the medical sciences, you may want to take a look at Stoney Brook University. This is where you can earn bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees in engineering and other disciplines. In contrast, Brooks College Long Beach and Brooks College Sunnyvale are junior colleges and can only issue associate degrees in several design courses.

Stoney Brook University is a part of the State University of New York system. From its origins in 1957 as a college to train mathematics and science high school teachers, Stoney Brook University has grown to become one of the nation's top training and research institutions in science, technology and medicine.

Stoney Brook University has colleges for engineering and applied sciences, arts and science, business, and medical sciences. Among the institution's most popular majors, you'll find biology, computer science, and economics.

However, if you have a more inquiring mind, you'll likely find their research facilities of great interest. Stoney Brook University co-manages a national research laboratory with the federal government, a privilege granted only to a select few. Stoney Brook University's center for applied mathematics and statistics undertakes extensive research into computational biology.

The university's marine sciences center is world-renowned for its researches in oceanography, atmospheric sciences and meteorology. Through its various researches, Stoney Brook University has patented scores of inventions developed by university scientists. As a result, you may be surprised to learn that Stoney Brook University earns millions of dollars every year in royalties from these inventions.

If you are a resident of the state, you will get discounts in tuition and pay less than half of what out-of-state students would pay. But you can apply for financial aid. Usually, about half of full-time enrolled freshmen receive need-based aid, while a quarter qualify for merit-based aid.
