You earned a seat at UB because of your potential—to develop your future, to help shape UB, and to contribute your unique gifts to the universe. From the extraordinary pool of talented students who applied this year, in the end, we were looking for you. We are so excited to welcome you to UB!
We have designed your first year to combine large-school opportunity with a small-school sense of belonging. 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 opportunity to work together on small teams to learn how engineers approach and model real world problems.
Learning by doing is the key to our students' success. In the School of Engineering and Applied 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.
Let us help set you up for success! Gain a distinct advantage before you start your first semester and throughout your first year at UB with our STEM Success Series. Each webinar is tailored to help you thrive both academically and personally—we encourage you to attend as many sessions as you can!
