Academics

A top 50 public research university. Member of the elite 2 percent of institutions in the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU). No. 1 in SUNY for producing national scholarship winners. When you have stats like these, you have more than bragging rights. You attract the best and brightest minds and marvel at their commitment to excellence.

UB is a community of real-world thinkers and doers. Our students achieve high levels of distinction as Truman, Fulbright, Goldwater, Marshall and Udall scholars. They turn big ideas into real businesses through Blackstone LaunchPad, our on-campus startup incubator. 100 percent of our students have the opportunity to participate in research, service or experiential learning. Through the innovative, student-centered approach of our UB Curriculum, you will develop the skills needed to succeed in a diverse and dynamic world.

When it comes to learning opportunities, UB simply has more to offer. Students choose from 110+ undergraduate degree programs, 205 master’s degree programs and 84 doctoral programs — the widest range of any public institution in New York or New England. Providing options is how we empower our students to define their own path to success. The best part? You get to choose that path yourself.

At UB, you’ll get the mentoring and attention you need to succeed. But you’ll be expected to jump in, go deep, fail big, try again smarter and emerge a tougher, sharper scholar. It’s just how we do things here.
