A History of Success
Since 1967, we have trained students, groups, teams, and organizations to become more effective creative thinkers and problem solvers and to instill these skills in others. As the first school to offer a master of science degree in creativity, we have achieved an international reputation for scholarly research and teaching that focuses on developing creativity, leadership, decision-making and problem solving skills.
We strive to develop and nurture critical life skills in our students. The methods we teach are applied successfully to educational, business, and industrial settings.
Our Mission
The International Center for Studies in Creativity (ICSC) at Buffalo State credentials creativity utilizing a diverse menu of programs that cultivates skills in creative thinking, innovative leadership practices, and problem-solving techniques.
ICSC, through the process of creative thought, enhances an individual's ability to imagine new ideas by learning to envision that which cannot be immediately seen.
