How do you measure value?

Our tuition is a fraction of the cost of a private college or university of comparable quality. Our reputation for value is recognized year after year as being among the best in the nation by Princeton Review, Kiplinger’s, U.S. News & World Report and other leading publications. And, most importantly, by our students.

UB offers New York’s most comprehensive list of majors, programs and innovative research opportunities, giving you hands-on experience in whatever field you choose to study.

Our renowned faculty have included National Medal of Science, Nobel, Pulitzer and other award winners, and our students reach high levels of distinction as Fulbright, Goldwater and Udall scholars, and as National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellows.

As a public (“state”) university, UB’s costs are some of the lowest in the U.S. In fact, UB’s tuition is often half that of comparable public and private universities. Moreover, UB is highly ranked in the U.S. for students graduating with the least amount of debt.

Students who stay on track and graduate in a timely manner reduce the cost of their education compared to students who do not.

Even with our affordable costs, our goal is to make UB accessible to as many students as possible. All incoming freshmen can participate in the Finish in 4 program, a structured academic advising program designed to help students stay on schedule so that they will finish their degree in four or fewer years.
