Cultivate your career passions through research and internships.
Your education takes place in more than the classroom; it’s in the lab, out in the field and across the world. These experiences make all the difference in your time at UB – and on your resume. Whether you intend to attend graduate or professional school or pursue a career right out of college, all students are highly encouraged to pursue research and internship opportunities related to their discipline. These pursuits will expose you to the culture of research and the demands of graduate study.
