Go far
in your field,
not deep into debt.

Extra semesters mean extra tuition and fees. When you graduate in four years, you minimize the cost of your education and can enter the workforce or graduate school earlier.

Take the guesswork out of graduating in four years.

Did you know the average student takes five to six years to complete a four-year degree? At UB, you’ll be anything but average. We are leading the charge to help all students graduate on time with Finish in 4.

Finish in 4 is a pledge by you to do what it takes to earn your degree in four years, and a pledge by UB to provide you with the resources needed to do that.

If you take the pledge and fulfill all of the requirements but still can’t graduate in four years, UB will provide the opportunity to complete the needed courses free of tuition and comprehensive fee charges.

Here is what’s next:

Take the pledge.
Commit to the actions and behaviors that help you stay on track.
Connect with dedicated staff to help guide your progress.
Seek major and career planning assistance early on.
Develop life skills that will help you succeed in college and beyond.
