University at Buffalo

The University at Buffalo (UB), a proud flagship institution of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, stands as New York's largest public university, home to nearly 32,000 students. Consistently recognized for its "Very high research activity" (R1 classification), UB offers an unparalleled academic experience spanning 13 schools and colleges across vibrant campuses in Buffalo and Amherst. It's where groundbreaking research meets a commitment to student success.

UB's rich history began in 1846 as a private medical college, co-founded by none other than future U.S. President Millard Fillmore. This pioneering spirit continued as it expanded, eventually merging with the SUNY system in 1962. From its humble beginnings, UB has evolved into a comprehensive university, boasting the largest state-operated medical, dental, education, business, engineering, and pharmacy schools, alongside SUNY's only law school. This legacy of innovation and leadership underpins its status as a research leader with the largest endowment and most research funding within the SUNY system.

For prospective students, UB offers a vast academic landscape with over 140 bachelor's degrees, more than 220 master's programs, and over 95 doctoral options, plus 55 combined degree programs. Beyond the classroom, students embrace a dynamic campus culture, cheering on the Bulls in NCAA Division I athletics as part of the Mid-American Conference. UB is more than just a university; it’s a community where a sound mind in a a sound body, as its motto suggests, thrives in an environment of discovery and opportunity.
