Undergraduate Education

Jacobs School undergraduate students talk about why they chose UB and their experiences here.

Tanzania Bussey.

Tanzania Bussey has taken advantage of the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) as an undergraduate at UB. “It helps underrepresented students get in contact with people that are doing the jobs we want to do in the future,” says Bussey, a pharmacology and biomedical sciences major from Staten Island. “After I get my degree I want to go to medical school and do research in the MD/PhD program.”
