文理学院内的化学系提供学习课程，这些课程可授予化学教学硕士学位，理学硕士和哲学博士学位。参加MAT课程的学生必须通过专业发展学院进行注册。博士生 该计划可以选择以该计划的教职人员代表的化学领域的任何一个领域中的论文研究，或者可以在另一个计划的一名教员的指导下选择一个跨学科的主题。协调的活动与多个程序一起存在，并且包括化学物理学和化学生物学中的可选浓度。
The Department of Chemistry, within the College of Arts and Sciences, offers courses of study leading to the degrees of Master of Arts in Teaching Chemistry, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. Students in the M.A.T. program must register through the School of Professional Development. A student in the Ph.D. program may choose dissertation research in any one of the diverse areas of chemistry represented by the interests of the program faculty, or may choose an interdisciplinary topic under the guidance of a faculty member in another program. Coordinated activities exist with several programs, and include optional concentrations in chemical physics and chemical biology. The department prizes excellence in teaching by both its faculty and graduate students. Stony Brook's bright and enthusiastic undergraduates provide our graduate students with a stimulating and rewarding teaching experience. Graduate students also interact closely with the faculty who teach the undergraduate courses, and they often develop long-lasting relationships as a consequence of such collaborations. Graduate students who have excelled in teaching and research are honored at the department's yearly awards ceremony. The Ph.D. program in Chemistry at Stony Brook aims to train a new generation of scientists to take leadership positions in research and teaching.
