Students are selected based on the approved program application, an interview with the Program Coordinator, and available program slots. Please note that it is mandatory for all students to meet either the federal income guidelines or first-generation status requirements for program consideration. If admitted to the UB program, students and their parent(s)/legal guardian are required to attend a New student orientation (failure to attend will forfeit your acceptance). Following the New Student Orientation, students will begin active participation in the program.
