Generally a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 is required. Please consult application materials for what is required for your intended program of study. Graduate study at UB is designed for working professionals looking for continued advancement in their present career or perhaps a career change. Since most graduate students work full-time, classes are held in the evening, some Saturdays and even on Sundays allowing students to reach their academic goals without disrupting their personal and professional lives. Student services offices, including Financial Aid, Admissions and Records also have evening hours to provide convenient access for students.
Small classes promote interaction among teachers and students.
UB professors are teachers and practitioners with both theoretical and practical knowledge to share in the classroom. They are open to new ideas and new points of view from students in classroom discussion. With both working professionals and more traditionally aged college students in the classroom, there is a broad range of knowledge and experience to further enhance discussion. Scholarships are relatively limited for graduate students, however assistantships are available in various offices on campus. Students may apply for assistantships in an office related to their major or in another office in which they have some level of expertise.
