We empower students to engage deeply in research and hands-on learning within their fields.
Learn about:
Every UB undergrad begins with the UB Curriculum—a customizable general education program that helps you build strong foundations, no matter your major. It’s flexible, interdisciplinary and designed to prepare you for a fast-changing world.
Your major matters, but it doesn’t define your future. At UB, you don’t have to pick one right away. You’ll have time to explore more than 60 majors across the College before you commit. And when you're ready, we’ll help you make a confident, informed choice.
Double Majors
Love two subjects? You can major in both (like History and Physics) and graduate with one degree. You'll complete all the requirements for each.
Joint Majors
Want something more streamlined? A joint major lets you blend coursework from two programs without doubling up on everything. It's a smart, efficient way to study across fields.
Double Degrees
If you're up for a challenge, you can pursue two separate types of degrees—like a BA in English and a BS in Chemistry—and graduate with both and on time!
Combined Degrees
Earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in less time. These programs let you dive deeper into your field and get a head start on grad school or your career.
A minor usually takes just six courses, and it can boost your resume, expand your skills or let you explore a passion. It’s a small commitment with big potential.
You’ll do more than sit in lectures. At UB, your learning continues through:
- Internships
- Study abroad programs
- Community engagement
- Research projects
- Creative work
- Leadership and student organizations
