VISIT IN PERSON
Admissions Tours
Admissions offers walking tours of both the North and South Campuses, along with dedicated tours specifically designed for transfer students and their families. Tours are typically 1.5 to 2 hours long. Some departments also offer additional academic tours.
Additional Academic Tour Options
Tours led by School of Architecture and Planning staff will show spaces and buildings most commonly utilized by Architecture BS and Environmental Design BA students on UB's South campus. To gain a broader view of campus offerings and resources, students are also encouraged to consider a North Campus tour. Many visitors choose to schedule both tours during the same visit.
High school and transfer students are encouraged to attend an in-person information session with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). A presentation will include information about SEAS programs, popular experiential learning and academic support options, and admissions information. A student-led tour will allow for interaction with SEAS faculty and provide an opportunity to view labs in numerous departments.
Whether you are a high school student, a current UB student, or a professional with a degree in another field, these sessions provide a comprehensive overview of program requirements, prerequisite courses, and the application process.
