Continuing Professional Studies Office Focuses on Mission of Access
Since its inception, the Continuing Professional Studies Office has encountered its share of new programs, partnerships, and opportunities to help others. Through it all, one mission has remained constant: providing access for part-time adult students who seek to further their education at Buffalo State.
Focus on First Year: Freedom and Slavery in BSC 101
Instructors who teach BSC 101—no matter what approach they take—agree that the course offers students an introduction to the liberal arts, encourages them to think critically, and helps them construct well-reasoned arguments. Daniel Blum, lecturer of history and social studies education, argues in his section that some of the things students enjoy most can hinder their free will—which is the key to achieving BSC 101’s goals and becoming critical thinkers for life.
