Buffalo State opened its doors in 1871 and has focused on making quality education accessible to students ever since. The college began by educating teachers, and later added undergraduate and graduate professional and liberal arts programs. Today, more than 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students call Buffalo State their academic home. Students turn their ideas into action through hands-on learning – from conducting faculty-mentored research to interning for prestigious organizations to studying abroad through semester-long exchanges or shorter, faculty-led excursions. High-achieving students are invited to join All College Honors Program.
