Stony Brook University Admission 2027: Deadlines, Requirements, Fees for International Students

Admission at a glance

Stony Brook University, part of the State University of New York system, reviews international freshman applicants on the same timeline as domestic applicants: early action by November 1 or regular decision by January 15, both completion deadlines for fall entry, meaning every required document must arrive by that date, not only the application form. International first-year applicants are defined as students who will hold an F-1 student visa or another temporary, non-immigrant visa while studying. English proficiency is required from applicants who are not from a native English speaking country or an English medium school, through TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo or another accepted test, at scores below what several of Stony Brook's peer public research universities require. Stony Brook's USD 50 application fee is also comparatively low next to many similarly ranked public universities, which often charge USD 70 to USD 100 for international applicants. As a SUNY campus, its nonresident undergraduate tuition and fees are set centrally and published each semester rather than only once a year, so admitted students should check the current semester's rate rather than relying on an old figure.

Requirements

Bachelor

International freshman applicants use the same application and the same two completion deadlines as domestic applicants: early action by November 1 or regular decision by January 15, for fall entry, meaning all required materials must be received by that date. Applicants who are not from a native English speaking country or an English medium school must submit an accepted English proficiency test score.
