Accepted Students

With 30 departments, 16 academic programs and 23 centers and institutes, the College offers more academic options than any other unit on campus. You’ll have the resources of a major research institution – like cutting-edge facilities and faculty at the forefront of their fields – as well as the support of a small university setting where your individual needs are recognized and respected.

Join host Zach Carr, clinical assistant professor, as he explores big questions for students in the College of Arts and Sciences while enjoying delicious wings from Campus Dining and Shops. In this episode, Zanaya Hussain, a senior double-majoring in international studies and urban and public policy, helps answer this burning question: how do you make friends at UB?

As a top 40 public research institution, our students have the opportunity to learn from and work closely with incredible faculty on projects and research that solves our world's biggest challenges. Here's just a sampling of what we're up to!

Learning by doing is the key to our students' success. In the College of Arts and Sciences, we encourage our students to take advantage of the life-changing opportunities happening around them every day. 

Experiential learning opportunities let you apply your knowledge and insight within real-world contexts outside the classroom. You'll gain a heightened sense of civic responsibility, sharpen your critical thinking skills and share your unique talents, interests and passions. 

These opportunities — which are typically under the mentorship of researchers, faculty and community leaders — may include internships, volunteer assignments, part-time jobs, clinical experiences, faculty-mentored research and faculty-mentored engagement projects.

1. Submit your tuition and housing deposit: Before signing up for orientation or registering for classes, all students must complete enrollment by submitting their housing and tuition deposits.
