An academic experience with impact.

At UB, preparing students for the future isn't just a tagline—it's a commitment backed by action. 

Preparing students for what comes next.

In a world shaped by rapid technological advancement, shifting workforce needs and global interdependence, UB stands out as a public research university that delivers both opportunity and impact. Below are just a few of the opportunities and examples of academic support you can expect from UB.

The UB Curriculum is our innovative, student-centered approach to general education for all undergraduates. It makes general education a purposeful program with a beginning and an end, where every step of the journey builds on the last, readying graduates for everything to come. 

Life is a journey, not a destination. At UB, we feel the same about the college experience. Your undergraduate degree is so much more than a piece of paper you get at the end of it all. It encompasses every milestone, turning point and experience along the way.

Think of the Student Success Gateway as your starting point for information about advisors, resources and strategies for academic and personal success. Our dedicated staff help you develop the best academic plan and connect you to a network of resources, all within a climate of continuous support. 

Enhance your academics with research, experiential learning and more.

UB is a top 40 public research institution, and as a member of the Association of American Universities, we are at the forefront of breakthroughs in education, research and discovery.

Our research mission and flagship status mean students have access to the minds, projects and facilities that advance knowledge, solve challenges and improve lives. Real discovery happens here at UB, and starting in your first semester, you can be a part of it. 

The Experiential Learning Network is UB's central resource for hands-on learning. The Project Portal and ELN Digital Badges are designed to help you find the best opportunities to build experience for your career and demonstrate your skills to future employers and graduate schools.

Your life and career will have unexpected twists. The Career Design Center gives you new ways to think about your next steps, getting the answers you need—and the opportunities you deserve.

Students today recognize the value and benefits of a meaningful international experience as part of their UB education. Study abroad at UB offers a world of opportunities for learning and personal development.
