Units that contribute to the General Education program produce courses that are available in a manner enabling the student timely completion of the degree. Each department or program updates its curriculum so that it is responsive to realistic job-market and employment expectations for students in the discipline or profession. All upper-division undergraduate courses require students to develop appropriate research capabilities. B. Goals for Research and Creative Activities. Research and technological developments reported by UB faculty, staff and students are also reported to interested public and private groups through mass media releases and trade publications.
Units maintain successful public information systems appropriate to the specialty.
C. Goals for Public and University Service. Public Service is here understood to mean the application of university-based research, scholarship, and professional expertise to needs in the public or private sector. Each department is expected to participate significantly in university service, whether through committee work, administrative appointments, or other means, and to report annually on such activities and their contribution to the University's overall mission. D. Goals for Graduate Education. Recruitment and admission reflects competition for students with top research institutions.
