About UB

The University at Buffalo is New York's premier public center for graduate and professional education and the State's largest and most comprehensive public university. As the only public member in New York and New England of the prestigious Association of American Universities, the University at Buffalo stands in the first rank among the nation's research-intensive public universities.

The University was a private institution from 1846 until 1962; during that time, 11 of its 12 professional schools were founded. After merging with the State University of New York in 1962, the already mature University at Buffalo was a direct beneficiary of New York's aggressive investment in public higher education and grew in size and ambition at a remarkable pace. This private-public heritage has endowed the University at Buffalo with a special character.

The professional schools at the University at Buffalo share an unusually research-intensive orientation with their counterpart faculties in the arts and sciences, and together have established an outstanding record of research, scholarship, and creative activity.

Interactions among the University's professional schools and its arts and sciences faculties, especially in cross-disciplinary research centers, give education at the University at Buffalo a particular richness and depth. The University's public mission of outreach to community, state, and nation ties a significant portion of its research and education efforts, particularly in its professional schools, to the needs of society.
