Stony Brook University has an undergraduate population of 14,892 students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stonybrook.edu/sb/fastfacts/ )〕 In order to create a sense of community among the students in this relatively large campus, the Undergraduate Colleges of Stony Brook University was developed. These Undergraduate Colleges, or UGCs, function as smaller communities in the larger university and are themed so as to provide an academic aspect to students individual interests. They particularly invested in creating an enjoyable first-year student experience for students, but they do offer services to sophomores and upperclassmen. Notable programs offered are first-year advising, UGC themed events, and small seminar courses. ==Undergraduate College Program== There are six themed undergraduate colleges. They are: *(Arts, Culture, and Humanities ) - Lead Undergraduate College Advisor: René Andersen (ACH) - Focus is exploration of arts, culture, and humanities, and how each relates to other disciplines, particularly science *(Global Studies ) - Lead Undergraduate College Advisor: Lori Glubiak (GLS) - Focus is on the impact of globalization, and on exploration of what it means to be a global citizen *(Human Development ) - Lead Undergraduate College Advisor: Erika Benhardt, Undergraduate College Advisor: Roberto Jiménez (HDV) - Focus is exploration of the human condition through health & wellness *(Information & Technology Studies ) - Lead Undergraduate College Advisor: Justine Perkowski (ITS) - Focus is on Implications of information availability and technology in the modern world〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ucolleges.stonybrook.edu/its/about )〕 *(Leadership and Service ) - Lead Undergraduate College Advisor: Candace Chabza (LDS) - Focus is on community service and community leadership *(Science and Society ) - Undergraduate College Advisor: Susannah Lawrence (SSO) - Focus is on how science can change society, and how society can change science〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ucolleges.stonybrook.edu/sso/about )〕 Each college has dedicated staff members who help students acclimate themselves to the university. Typically, there is a faculty member known as the Faculty Director of the college, whose purpose is to provide academic support to the UGC, one or two advisors, whose purpose is to plan the UGC's events and guide students academically, and a Quad Director, whose purpose is to make sure the students are adjusting to living in student housing, since student's undergraduate college determines their housing placement. Students choose their preference of Undergraduate College based on their interest (not major) when they are accepted to the university and are required to take two courses in their first year, one per semester, pertaining to their undergraduate college placement. These courses are generally known as FYS 101 and FYS 102 (FYS standing for First Year Seminar), but are specific to each college, with each section replacing FYS with the three letter college abbreviation (Example: a Global Studies student would take GLS 101, a Human Development student would take HDV 101, etc...). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Undergraduate Colleges of Stony Brook University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
