Admission to Degree Programs

When are you accepted into your major?

You should indicate your intended major on the application form. Admission to the departments of dance, music, and music theatre require an audition. Intended theatre majors with professional experience are also required to audition. The departments of architecture, business administration, engineering, exercise science, nuclear medicine technology, nursing, and occupational therapy admit freshmen directly to the major. All other departments evaluate students for admission during their second year of study at UB.

Departmental Requirements

All baccalaureate candidates must successfully complete a program of study, either in a specific department's degree program, or in a Special Major program developed by the student. It's important for you to consult with your academic advisor; they can help you identify and complete the requirements for acceptance into a degree program. Once you've been accepted into a major, you're assigned a departmental advisor to help plan and implement your academic program.
