A UB education delivers experiences that will shape your life—as well as recognition, respect and opportunity. A degree from GSE tells others that you have the ability and motivation to do great things.
Our students graduate knowing how to put the things they learn in class to work in the real world because they will have already done it. Our faculty, staff and students are committed to getting to the task at hand: solving issues of educational equity that have been with us for too long. You’ll join a movement to improve educational access and experiences for current and future generations of students.
As a GSE student, you’ll gain meaningful experience through internships, teacher residencies and clinical placements. Our research centers and institutes are ideal places to participate in interdisciplinary projects, and you’ll also have the chance to participate in unique events like the Teach-In for racial equity and the Student Research Symposium.
As a GSE graduate, you’ll gain exclusive access to UB’s global alumni network, special events, learning opportunities and more. There are more than 20,000 GSE alumni alone—an invaluable resource to make new connections among successful professionals who stand apart in their fields.
Online programs, numerous scholarships and affordable tuition, especially for New York State residents, ensure a UB education is a smart investment.
The University at Buffalo is one of just 65 members of the Association of American Universities, an invitation-only group comprised of top research institutions.
Select from more than 70 programs, each offering immersive, innovative experiences to prepare you for tomorrow’s challenges—such as our Teacher Residency Program, which The Buffalo News called the “future of teacher education.”
Our graduates spark change wherever they go. You’ll learn that passion here, as you become enmeshed in the Buffalo community. Whether through the Teacher Residency Program, Brainy Bulls K–12 Tutoring, or courses such as “Literacy, Access and Equity: Embracing Diversity to Enrich our Community” we prioritize community engagement.
If you want to be the best, you have to learn from the best. Our distinguished faculty researchers, thought leaders and innovators came to Buffalo from all over the world, and are committed to mentoring and teaching students like you to make the world a better place. They’ll show you how to apply knowledge based in theory and informed by research that examines issues across boundaries.
It’s hard to juggle competing priorities. You may decide an online program is right for you. Even if you’re not studying on campus, you’ll still be an important part of the GSE community; online students study the same curriculum, and work with the same faculty, as our on-campus students.
The best way to decide if GSE is the right place for you is to connect with our dedicated admissions advisors and our student and alumni community.
