Matriculation Requirement

Teachers may take these courses without matriculating, but they are welcome to apply to Stony Brook for admission to any one of the rigorous graduate programs offered by the University. All of these courses would be accepted to the School of Professional Development’s Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program and would count toward the 18-credit specialization.
