Stony Brook Southampton is a campus location of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, located in Southampton, New York between the Shinnecock Indian Reservation and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on the eastern end of Long Island.
The Stony Brook Southampton Campus is currently home to the Graduate Arts Program which offers three graduate programs, undergraduate and graduate marine sciences, health technology and management programs. All of the programs at Southampton Arts are defined broadly, to foster exploration of artistic expression in fields outside traditional program borders, and to promote collaboration between disciplines in the creation of original work.
Interdisciplinary study, small class size, and one-on-one advising form the foundation of the Southampton Arts experience, where close student-faculty relationships are a priority. Students are offered practica in teaching, publishing or arts administration to further their real-world knowledge in the industry, and also gain admission to the Southampton Summer Arts Conferences. There are approximately 310 students currently enrolled.
