The faculty care, a lot. Buffalo State's superb teaching faculty is among the best in SUNY—43 faculty members have been awarded the prestigious SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching since its 1973 inception. There are more than 698 full- and part-time faculty members; 80 percent hold terminal degrees in their field.
