Placement
Due to covid, everyone was struggling to get internships/Full-time placements. Situations are improving at the moment. But SBU in general used to have most of their student finding internships and full-time jobs. The last year or so has been harsh on the students and companies started rescinding the offers because of the economic downfall from Covid.
Stony Brook was among the top 40 schools for computer science and one of the most economical schools as well. They are really famous for their systems-related courses as well as cutting-edge technologies like Data Science, Computer Vision and Machine Learning.
Placement
The university is known for high-paying software engineering jobs in the USA. The University has an extensive alumni network who work at top tech firms and therefore a lot of seniors are available to provide guidance on how to crack interviews.
Good ranking for Computer Vision and Excellent campus facilities. Low cost and therefore high return on investments. Great placement opportunities for jobs and internships.
