Stony Brook Curriculum

LANG exempt · CEAS majors are exempt from the LANG learning objective.

Notes

Admission: Acceptance into the major: AOI and other CEAS students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.00, a GPA of 3.00 or above in all mathematics, physics, and chemistry courses with no more than one grade in the C range, and completed course evaluations for transferred courses used toward the major. Applications are due January 5 for Spring admission and June 5 for Fall admission, and must be submitted within one year of enrolling in the first course that applies toward major entry. Non-CEAS students and double major applicants apply through a separate, competitive process contingent on program capacity; meeting requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
Advising: Students should choose their area of specialization in consultation with a faculty advisor and declare it in writing by the end of the junior year. Contact the Undergraduate Program Coordinator and Advisor for guidance.
Grading: ESG 300 is graded S/unsatisfactory on the writing evaluation performed through ESG 312 rather than by letter grade.
Note: The major requires approximately 108 credits, in addition to any credits needed for SBC and other University requirements.
Note: ESM 488 (Cooperative Industrial Practice) or ESM 499 (Research in Materials Science), or other departmental independent research with program director permission, may be used once as a technical elective.
Note: Engineering Chemistry (B.S., College of Arts and Sciences) and Physics of Materials (physics major pathway) are separate programs and are not part of this BE major. Minors of interest include Environmental Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology Studies.
Note: The BE Degree/MS Degree accelerated program is not modeled here; see the graduate program director for details.
Note: The program is accredited by ABET under the General Criteria with no applicable program criteria.
