Why CBU
At CBU, you’ll get rigorous academics in a personalized learning environment where you can choose from a wide variety of degree programs. Once you make that choice — or while you’re still deciding — you’ll be a part of small classes taught by professors who will know your name and your dreams and who can connect you with experts in your field for networking, internships, and research opportunities. But the reasons why CBU is ideal for you run much deeper than just our excellent academics…
Value That Adds Up
