4. ENROLLMENT BY PROGRAM LEVEL

5. OBSERVATIONS AND CONCERNS
Growth is being achieved through increases in undergraduate enrollment
Growing undergraduate enrollment to cover graduate enrollment declines would likely impact:
SAT score or scholarship/aid costs
Retention
Campus instructional capacity and infrastructures
UB’s rankings
As a large part of our identity as a comprehensive research university, UB offers exceptional graduate and professional degrees, and educates tomorrow’s professional and academic leaders
There is a critical need for advanced degrees (particularly Master’s) for professional careers and societal progress

6. NEXT STEPS
In the coming months, UB will be working on expanding graduate enrollment while ensuring we are continuing to recruit exceptional students
We will also continue ongoing processes to identify policy, infrastructure and service challenges to achieve a student enrollment of 30,000, and processes that result in increased student quality and increase yield
