In a Stony Brook learning community, you have the advantages of a small college environment within a nationally-ranked research university. In a learning community you will find that studying together and having the company of friends will make your life and studies easier. Since we have exactly the same schedule, it is easy for us to study together and help one another. One of the strengths of the program is that we are able to work in little groups, do problems together, and if one person does not understand, we are able to help each other. The program is designed to give you greater insight in your course of study.
Faculty collaborate on content and coordinate their instruction.
Linking seminars show how the material is related to different disciplines and cultures, and world-wide social and economic issues. Linking all classes together allows us to apply ideas we learn to new things and situations. Overall this makes for better understanding of new topics. Since the classes are small, you get to know your teachers, they get to know you, and they can provide all the help and advice that you need. The small classes help you learn better.
