Involved All Stony Brook students, including incoming freshmen and transfer students are eligible to participate in research activities. Most students earn academic credit for their research activities.
Some students work for pay.
Others do it voluntarily because of the excitement and challenge they experience. Any student who is engaged in research must register, even if it is for zero credits. Most summer researchers reported that they found their research placement through other students. Talk to other students in your major. Speak with your professors.
