International Education

International students working on a project in the International Student Services Center.

By supporting International Education at UB, you can help internationalize the university by enabling more of our students to benefit from study abroad, by supporting new international programs that enhance student learning, or by assisting international students in need. Your gift will make a big difference in the lives of the students we serve.
