University Factbook

The UB Factbook is an intensive reporting effort spanning the depth and breadth of university operations.  It provides an interactive compendium of frequently requested official information about the institution.

Reports contained in the Factbook utilize definitions set by UB’s Data Governance process and are updated as source data become official. Subject areas currently include student enrollment, employment, sponsored research and other institutional information.
