Historically known for our excellent teacher education programs, Buffalo State has become an institution with an ever-growing range of applied graduate programs. From English and history to business management, creativity and change leadership, conflict analysis and resolution, museum studies, and art conservation, to public relations, disaster and emergency management, public administration, higher education and student affairs administration, criminal justice, and speech-language pathology, to data science and analytics, applied economics, applied math, great lakes environmental science, forensic science, industrial technology, and mechanical and manufacturing technology.

Upon matriculation graduate students become members of the Graduate Student Association (GSA). The GSA offers networking opportunities, and financial support for research, scholarly projects, and travel to professional conferences. It also sponsors a Graduate Student Research Fair every May.

The Graduate Studies Office is located in Cleveland Hall 204 and serves as the hub for information about graduate programs. Our welcoming staff is always ready and willing to assist with questions about graduate programs, the application process, admissions, graduate assistantships, or fellowships. We look forward to serving you as a Buffalo State Graduate Student.
