As New York's flagship public university, UB offers the academic excellence, flexibility, support and opportunities to help you build on your experience and move confidently toward what's next.
UB WELCOMES YOU
You've Already Led. Now Keep Moving Forward.
The qualities that drive military success—discipline, resilience, leadership and a commitment to service—also create exceptional students. At UB, you'll join a community that values your experience and helps you apply it in new ways through research, internships, hands-on learning and career-focused academics.
Whether your goal is advancing your current career, preparing for a new one or earning a degree you've always wanted to pursue, you'll find the resources and opportunities to help you get there.
