Experiential Learning Opportunities

The University at Buffalo encourages every student to seek learning opportunities beyond the classroom. Whether by partnering with a faculty member on a research project, interning with a local or national organization, making an impact in the Buffalo community, or taking your education overseas, the initiative to go above and beyond will open doors to a multitude of worthwhile experiences.

The program provides participants with a comprehensive introduction to two distinct histories and cultures of sub-Saharan Africa and introduces some of the challenges facing the continent as it enters the 21st century. The program runs six weeks and offers two, three credit courses.

Study Abroad

Today's students recognize the value and benefits of meaningful international experience as part of their UB education. Study Abroad at UB offers a world of opportunities (literally!) for learning and personal development.

Find an Internship

Internships are one of the most direct ways for students to explore future employment opportunities. Get resume experience while making connections and discovering a career that you love. See available internship possibilities through UB's Career Services Office.

Conduct Research

The Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (CURCA) gives undergraduate students the opportunity to dive deep into a subject of interest with distinguished faculty guiding their way. 

Get Involved with the Community

UB promotes many forms of service-learning. From alternative break sessions to teaching in the Buffalo Public Schools to "Saturdays of Service," these unique community-oriented activities help others while building essential communication and leadership skills.

Experiential Learning

We believe learning by doing is the key to our students' success both during and after their time at UB. The College of Arts and Sciences encourages students to take advantage of the life-changing opportunities happening around them every day.
