Why is the University at Buffalo School of Management a great place to invest your time, money and energy?
The answer is simple: our curriculum emphasizes a broad exposure to quantitative reasoning, social sciences and soft skills, and a general management education required to compete in today's global market. All academic programs are accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and provide you with an educational experience that offers both quality and value. Our newest bachelor’s degree program in information technology and management is the only undergraduate program in the State University of New York (SUNY) system that focuses on both technical and business skills.

The process for applying to the School of Management depends on the type of prospective student you are.
The School of Management admits new incoming first-years directly to the accounting or business administration majors. For direct admission, prospective first-years are required to select accounting or business administration on the University at Buffalo application.
In the first two years, you will complete the UB Curriculum and seven prerequisite courses for your major. As a first-years admitted to the accounting or business administration majors, you must maintain the minimum standard required to advance to your major's upper-division curriculum. The main criterion for advancement is your academic performance in your first and second-year courses. We don't require an additional application unless you're applying to change from business administration to accounting or vice versa.
Important note: We encourage high school students interested in the accounting or business administration majors to apply early for admission to UB. Because of the quantitative nature of these majors, we recommend you complete precalculus and be calculus-ready before enrolling at UB.
If you're interested in transferring to UB, the first step is to gain admission to the university. After accepting admission to UB and submitting a deposit, new incoming transfer students who select business administration or accounting as their preferred major will automatically have their transcripts reviewed by the School of Management. All students must meet the minimum standards before starting the upper level curriculum.
Important note: To be eligible for the accounting or business administration majors in the School of Management, you must meet the minimum overall transfer GPA when entering UB. If your overall transfer GPA is below the minimum requirement, you will need to select an alternative major for which you qualify. You may, however, explore the minor in management to complement to your non-management major.
