What's New For 2021-2022?
The Undergraduate Colleges (UGC) are vibrant learning communities offering individualized support, while connecting you with faculty, staff, and campus resources to guide you to a successful first year at Stony Brook. The UGC's are not linked to any majors and each will provide you with the knowledge and transferable skills that will complement any choice of major/career aspiration.
All UGC's include:
- customized advising and support
- special educational and social programs
- opportunities for close interaction with faculty and peers around themes of common interest
The UGC's have undergone a transformation for 2021-2022 with new themes centered around global issues, increased advising support with smaller advisor to student ratios, and more connections to campus resources!
As of Fall 2021, The UGC Themes are as follows:
