From the UB School of Management:
The UB MBA
The UB MBA program has been preparing students for leadership positions in management since 1931. We combine a foundation-building core with flexible, career-targeted electives.

In our twenty-one month full-time campus-based immersive program, you have an opportunity to choose from many concentrations including analytics, finance, healthcare management, information systems, international management, consulting, marketing or supply chain and operations. In addition, we offer collaborative MBA degrees including MArch/MBA, AuD/MBA, DDS/MBA, JD/MBA, MD/MBA, MPH/MBA, MSW/MBA, PharmD/MBA, an Engineering/MBA in several different engineering disciplines, as well as a Resident/MBA for residents and fellows in UB graduate medical education.
Our dedicated Career Resource Center, available exclusively for School of Management students, provides career preparation, job and internship opportunities, and networking specifically for UB MBAs. See what firms are recruiting UB School of Management students.
