How to Apply

Step 1: Choose your application.

For most of UB's graduate programs, you can apply directly to UB. However, some programs utilize external national applications. These programs require applicants to submit a supplemental UB application and fee.

Step 2: Start your application.

To start your online graduate application, you will need to create an account using an email address and password. Once this is created, it will be associated with all UB applications. Please be sure that the email address you use for this account is active for the duration of the application cycle.

You can partially complete an application and save it to be finalized at a later time. Find your desired program and corresponding application.

Step 3: Complete and submit your application for formal review.

Application requirements and deadlines vary by program. All required documents should be uploaded to your online application. If you are applying to multiple programs you will need to upload all required materials to each application.

Double check before submitting. Once you formally submit your UB application, you will not be able to make changes. You will still have access to upload supplemental application materials and check the status of your application, but you will not be able to change your application information.

Step 4: Pay your application fee(s).

A nonrefundable application fee is required for each program you apply to. Application fees vary by program.

After you formally submit your UB application, you will receive an email with instructions on how to pay your program's fee via ePay.

Step 5: Submit official test scores electronically.

If the program you are applying to requires official test scores, be sure to submit them electronically. Check your online application to see which test scores are required. It may take up to two weeks for the testing agency to process your order and deliver your scores to UB.
