University Honors College

Expressing your intellectual curiosity. Living your commitment to diversity, inclusion and civic engagement. Taking ownership of your education. If this is your ideal college experience, we invite you to explore the University Honors College, a home where a diverse group of outstanding students inspire each other to be more than who they thought they could be. It's a place where people are as intensely engaged with learning as you are, and where you find a place to be extraordinary.

Interested students must still apply for general admission to UB. Students submitting the Common Application can apply to the Honors College in the Academics section. Students applying with the State University of New York (SUNY) Application should email the Honors College to receive an additional application to the Honors College.

To be considered for a merit scholarship, your general application for admission to the University at Buffalo (either SUNY or Common Application) must be on file and complete (including all supplemental materials) by Dec. 8.
