Friday tours will include stops at Digital Manufacturing Lab/DREAM, Industrial Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, the Machine Shop, Materials Science and Engineering, and the Office of Undergraduate Advising.

Here is How You Get the Full #TrueBlue Experience

We also encourage you to attend a university-wide UB Admissions tour. If an afternoon tour is offered on the same day as your SEAS tour, you would be able to attend both. You can find available UB Admissions tour dates and sign up online or call 1-888-UB-ADMIT (1-888-822-3648).

We will not be hosting tours surrounding our large-scale UB Accepted Student Days in April. If you are an accepted student and looking to visit around those times in April, please considering visiting us for one of those events designed specifically for you!! More information on these will be provided via UB Admissions in the spring.

Please note that our tours are capped at 30 people due to fire code and space restrictions in labs featured on the tour. We request that you limit your party to 3 people (1 student + 2 guests) when possible in order to help us host the maximum amount of interested students in each session. 

Graduate Visits

To visit one of our departments or meet with faculty, contact the department you're interested in or contact the Office of Academic Affairs - Graduate Education team at easgrad-enroll@buffalo.edu. 

Have a group?

If you are a faculty or staff member who would like to bring a group of prospective graduate students to campus, let us know! Contact us for more information.

Planning your visit:

Visitors to UB are required to abide by its health guidelines. Masks are now optional on its campuses in most settings but may be required in some clinical health care settings and in the Student Health Services Shuttle.
