Faculty are accessible and present—in fact, 86 percent of all classes have fewer than 40 students. Faculty are both in the classroom, teaching, and out in the field, involving students in applied research.
Many faculty see the city as an extension of the classroom. This especially holds true in the sciences. Students taking certain courses in biology, chemistry, earth science, oceanography, environmental science, geography, or history, complete work at Buffalo State's Great Lakes Center.
