A Week at UB

Students in the Undergraduate Program typically participate in twelve 75-minute classes per week; generally three classes per day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and two classes each day on Tuesday and Thursday. To accommodate complementary activities such as discussions with visiting case protagonists and other guest speakers, individual classes are occasionally extended or a morning class may begin at 8:30 p.m. Special meetings of entire sections are held for one hour every few weeks. Before and after class, students allocate their time according to their own needs and interests. Most students are involved in the wide range of extracurricular activities offered on campus from the afternoon through early evening.

Students spend between two and three hours preparing for each of the next day's classes. Study groups, which enhance and supplement individual class preparation, typically meet daily. Some groups meet Monday through Friday mornings, while others choose to get together in the late evening from Sunday through Thursday.
