You should indicate your intended major on the application form. In general, the admission consideration process is currently the same for all majors, including undeclared majors. There are additional requirements for the following:
Direct admission to accounting and business management is subject to limited enrollment. Due to the quantitative nature of these majors, it is recommended that students complete precalculus and be calculus-ready prior to enrollment.
All freshman applicants interested in UB architecture must complete and submit a design assignment, located online at http://wings.buffalo.edu/ap/design.html, in addition to all other required University at Buffalo application materials.
All freshman applicants must first submit an application to UB. Upon receiving your UB person number, you may proceed with the design assignment. You must submit your architecture design assignment within 14 days of receiving your person number.
The design assignment will be used to determine an applicant's design skills prior to admission. It will be one of many factors considered in the review of an applicant's eligibility for admission into UB architecture. It will not be used, however, in the review of an applicant's eligibility for admission to the University at Buffalo.
An audition is required for acceptance into acting, dance and music theatre. Portfolio review and an interview is required for BFA design/technology intended majors. To schedule an audition, please go to www.theatredance.buffalo.edu or contact the Department of Theatre and Dance at 716-645-6897.
Engineering applicants receive an additional review to ascertain their readiness in key science and math areas.
An audition is required for acceptance into music. For information on supplemental requirements, please go to www.music.buffalo.edu/admission/ugapplicationfoms.shtml, or you may contact the Department of Music at 716-645-2758.
The departments of Accounting and Business Management, Architecture, Computer Science, Dance, Engineering, Exercise Science, Music, Music Theatre, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Occupational Therapy and Theatre admit freshmen directly to the major. All other departments evaluate students for admission during their second year of study at UB.
