Stony Brook Southampton

Stony Brook Southampton is a new kind of school – a small, intimate college associated with a major research university.  The curriculum is organized around issues related to environmental sustainability, public policy, and natural resource management.  

Approximately 200 students are taking courses at Stony Brook Southampton this Fall, including those already enrolled in the existing undergraduate Marine Sciences program which Stony Brook absorbed from Long Island University last year. About 2000 students are expected to enroll within five years.

In addition to the Marine Sciences program and the programs related to the environment, Stony Brook will offer an MFA creative writing program, headed by Robert Reeves, who directed the writing program at Southampton for LIU. The Writers Conference, a 30-year institution on the East End, annually attracting leading authors and artists from across the country, was held at Stony Brook University last summer, and will return to Southampton next year. Stony Brook also plans to offer courses and events at Southampton related to its Center for Wine, Food, and Culture.
