The Undergraduate Transfer Office maintains and publishes a list of courses from other institutions that are deemed equivalent to Stony Brook courses. Transfer students must fill out the appropriate forms at the Undergraduate Transfer Office in order for their transfer credits appear in their official record. For courses that are not on the list, students should fill out a transfer credit evaluation form in CEAS Undergraduate Student Office. The form will be sent out for transfer credit evaluation to the department that a potentially equivalently course is offered.
You can take courses from other departments to fulfill the specialization requirement of TSM. You will have to take a cluster of seven related courses, totaling at least 21 credits, in one area of natural science, engineering, applied science, or environmental studies from a single department or program. At least three courses, totaling at least nine credits, must be at the 300 or 400 level, or equivalent as approved by the undergraduate program director/advisor.
If an applicant does not have a sufficient level of English, they cannot matriculate as a regular student until they do. We help applicants get that English skill. To get accepted as a regular student, applicants should take certain number of the English Language courses offered by IEC (Intensive English Center) depending on the result of Placement Examination.
SUNY (abbreviation of 'State University of New York') is a wide network system of tax supported New York State Universities. Stony Brook University (SUNY - Stony Brook) is one of the Universities in this New York system. "SUNY Korea" or SUNY Korea LLC is the wider group-campus in South Korea that manages all or any branches of the New York SUNY system that want to establish themselves in Korea as well. Stony Brook University came first to SUNY Korea. Next came the New York City-based Fashion Institute of Technology (SUNY - FIT). In the future, more branches of the SUNY system want to come to SUNY Korea as well.
Yes, SUNY Korea hosts guest lecturers from SBU as well.
SUNY Korea professors are quite open to those who seek help because of the difficulties they have in catching up with other students. Students have opportunity to have individual meetings with professors during their office hours and meetings can be arranged out of office hours providing professors have time. Meetings during office hours and beyond is not the only option not the only option for students to get help from professors, they can even visit the help desks where they find answers to their questions. Teaching assistants are also another source of help students can rely on. In addition to this all, students with personal issues and/or and problems that they cannot get resolved with professors can consult the coordinator.
As an international student, you do not have to have any command of Korean to study here at SUNY Korea as you will be in an English environment. All of the classes you will be taking here are taught in English, unless you voluntarily take Korean language classes as an elective.
You do not have to take Korean classes as an international student.
Yes, you will. You can apply to DTS (or any other departments) irrespective of your major at your previous university.
No, not necessarily. There is actually one misconception about SUNY Korea that since it is an American school, all of the professors come from United States. Professors actually come from different parts of the world including US and Korean professors.
