You’re searching for an exceptional graduate education that will result in the credentials and skills you need to take the next step in your academic and professional career. A degree from a top-ranking school like the University at Buffalo will give you just that—plus recognition, respect, and opportunity. But as a thoughtful and ambitious future student, you’re likely searching for more than impressive rankings and a diploma. You want a meaningful experience.

Our School attracts faculty and students who are changemakers driven to excel in coursework and research while positively impacting their communities and the educational spaces we serve. As part of the Graduate School of Education community, you’ll join these efforts from day one, in and outside the classroom. Here, you’ll find what other graduate schools promise: high-quality programs, hands-on experience, a beautiful campus, manageable costs, and plentiful funding opportunities.

You’ll also find what other schools can’t offer—our people. Our faculty, staff, and students are committed to taking on the hard tasks, coming together to solve long-standing equity issues embedded in education. You’ll join a movement to improve educational access and experiences for current and future generations of students. Are you ready to make positive changes in classrooms, school districts, libraries, service environments, colleges, and universities?

What Sets the UB
Graduate School Apart?

Highly respected
Since GSE was established at the University at Buffalo in 1931, our faculty and students have been involved in dynamic, collaborative, and transformative research that extends well beyond Buffalo.

Program choices
Our four graduate departments offer over 70 program opportunities resulting in advanced certificates, master’s and doctoral degrees, and more.

Experience gained
As a GSE student, you’ll gain meaningful experience through internships, teacher residencies, and clinical programs that allow you to make a difference in your field and communities. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in unique GSE events, like the Teach-In for Racial Equity and the Student Research Symposium, among many others.

Community experience
Through coursework, mentorship from our award-winning faculty, experiential learning, and collaborative research, students develop a passion for effecting change at a local, national, and global level. You'll connect with our community of scholars to learn, engage with the people we serve, and solve real problems in your field.

Exceptional scholars
If you want to be the best, you have to learn from the best. Our 80+ distinguished faculty researchers, thought leaders, and innovators came to Buffalo from around the world to mentor and teach students like you. And they're not just teaching you to get your degree—they're teaching you how to make the world a better place.

Flexible online learning
As someone juggling competing priorities, you might decide an online program is right for you. At GSE, you’ll find 24 fully online programs with engaging and rigorous coursework supported by cutting-edge technology. While the delivery of these programs is online, the content is the same high-quality curriculum that our on-campus students receive.

Alumni network
Once a UB grad, always a UB grad. You have exclusive access to UB’s global alumni network of over 20,000, special events, learning opportunities, and much more.

What students are saying about us...

  • “I was extremely fortunate that this premier PhD program allowed the courses to be online… UB was a great fit because I was able to keep my career and have a day job while pursuing my PhD.”

    • Monica Rogers
      PhD in Information Science

  • “UB is such a knockout school because they’re so aligned with research. UB is a research-based school that will push you and push you, but you come out being able to handle everything because of it.”

    • Jordon Krivonos
      Bachelor of Arts in English, Master of Education in English Education

  • “I learned so much about research and writing in the field of sociology of education, and [how to think] about the data telling the story as opposed to the story leading you to choose the data. That is something I have taken with me everywhere.”
