Why is SBU’s Scholars for Medicine Program eight years and not six or seven?
Stony Brook University is committed to giving students the highest standard of education as possible. We feel that it advantageous to the student to complete a four-year undergraduate program to allow them to be better prepare for the training they will receive in the extremely competitive field of medicine. We believe that the undergraduate experience should be an opportunity to explore different interests. Making the most of such opportunities will result in a better educated individual and citizen.
