The DEC is a liberal arts foundation for your study at Stony Brook, and gives you exposure to many different fields and disciplines including the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The DEC includes various categories from A through K (i.e., CHE 131-E means that Chemistry 131 is a DEC E class.), which all need to be completed to graduate. Note that DEC requirements differ for students in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. DEC categories A and C require you to earn a C or better in each course, while the remaining DEC categories require a D or better in each course.
