Among the nation’s finest public research universities, the University at Buffalo offers a wide array of degree programs across its three campuses.
UB’s bustling North Campus, where most of the university’s core academic programs are offered, is one of the most modern college campuses in the nation. Opened in the early 1970s, the North Campus currently has more than 100 buildings and more on the way, including new state-of-the-art academic buildings, the North Campus is alive with activity.
The picturesque South Campus, located three miles away from the North Campus in a residential section of Buffalo, was the university's home for much of the twentieth century. Here, ivy-covered buildings and a historic bell tower complement new research and teaching facilities. The schools of Architecture and Planning, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dental Medicine, Public Health and Health Professions, and Nursing are located on the South Campus.
The recent addition of the UB Downtown Gateway (the former M. Wile building) adds to the growing presence of the university in downtown Buffalo. Current plans are to move UB's Regional Institute, a number of its pre-K-16 initiatives, and the Center on Rehabilitation Synergy, a program of its Graduate School of Education that provides training, education and research for professionals working with individuals with disabilities, into the building during the next 2 years.
Regular bus transportation, a 10-minute ride, shuttles students between the two campuses, and from South Campus travelers can take Buffalo’s Metro Rail service all the way downtown.
