Welcome!

John E. VanBenschotenI’m very pleased that you’ve decided to visit the online home of UB Engineering. I would be even more delighted if you’d visit us in person. When you do, you’ll see for yourself the extraordinary academic quality and value of our undergraduate programs.

Our challenging and innovative curriculum, award-winning faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities are among the best in the country. No matter what your chosen field of study, our rigorous programs will prepare you to go anywhere and do anything. How do I know? I see it every year with our graduating seniors and through alumni accomplishments.

Here are a few additional reasons why more and more top students are choosing to study at UB:

Exceptional academic quality: As a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, UB is counted among the nation’s leading research universities. UB Engineering’s programs reflect that high academic standard.

A true learning community: Our innovative freshman programs are designed to build a sense of intimacy and community within the school, including faculty mentoring, block scheduling, and small group tutoring in calculus, chemistry, and physics. We are also committed to the highest level of academic support and advisement, both through the UB Engineering Office of Undergraduate Education and our six departments. And, with more than 25 student professional societies and clubs, we have a group for every interest.

Boundless opportunity: We offer nine bachelor of science (BS) engineering degrees, two computer science degrees (BA and BS), combined BS/MBA programs, as well as MS, MEng, and PhD programs in all of our departments. We also offer:

  • Hands-on work-experience, including internships and co-op programs
  • Advanced undergraduate research
  • Innovative engineering-focused study-abroad programs
  • Student clubs that compete nationally and internationally
  • Numerous scholarship opportunities

There is much more to learn about UB Engineering. I encourage you to visit us and see first hand all that we have to offer because I know that you’ll like what you see.
