American Studies
Interdisciplinary in nature, the minor in American Studies is designed especially for students who wish to add a variety of American perspectives and an overview of American culture to the development of their majors in the arts and sciences. Students are encouraged to approach American studies from the perspective of their major. Beyond the four required courses, the minor is organized around the student's interest in a particular area of American studies. At least 12 of the 21 credits required for the minor must be taken at Stony Brook. The specific distribution of credits should be determined in consultation with the minor coordinator.

Department of Philosophy Undergraduate Research Tracks
The Undergraduate Research Tracks in Philosophy offer an opportunity to do sophisticated and concentrated research, while still an undergraduate, on a particular topic in philosophy. Seven courses are required over a three-year period. The first five courses provide important skills and background. In the third year, the research team—consisting of a faculty member and a small group of students—spends two semester-long research courses on a philosophical project of professional caliber, doing work that may even lead to publication.  Some examples are: Research Track in Philosophical Logic; Research Track in Philosophy and Literature; Research Track in Race, Class, and Gender. More specific information on Undergraduate Research Tracks, including particular topics beginning each year and the courses designed for them, are available from the Undergraduate Office.

Filipino Studies, Southeast Asian Studies, and others may happen someday.  A major in Asian and Asian American Studies has been approved and there is currently a nationwide search for a Chair but politics has gotten in the way.
