Whether you are a busy professional looking to supplement your education or a company looking to improve your workforce, we've got you covered.
The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences offers online courses, as well as non-credit-bearing courses through Coursera.
Our online courses are a convenient and a great way to increase knowledge, improve job skills and expand professional options.
To be assured that any course you take will count toward a degree program, prior to registration, current UB students should speak to their department advisor and/or consult their departmental graduate program handbook.
Non-UB students must first complete a non-degree application using the SEAS Application Management System to register for a UB course. On your application, under "Program Information," select the term you'd like to enroll in and then select "Non-Degree" when asked to select your primary degree level of study. Do not fill out an online non-degree application if you are a current UB graduate student.

Our online courses provide an excellent education at a cost that is more affordable than most other major research universities. See online tuition rates by semester on the university's Student Accounts website.
