Muriel A. Howard, Ph.D.


Welcome! Thank you for visiting the Buffalo State College Web site.

I hope you will take some time to explore our site and learn about some of the extraordinary things our students, faculty, and staff are doing. Together, they are a community of exceptional talent and creativity, engaged with the world around them.

Buffalo State is the largest comprehensive four-year college in the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Located in the heart of Buffalo, we are able to offer our students a rich array of internship, research, and service-learning opportunities with our community partners. This engaged learning approach is central to our mission. It gives our graduates the tools they need to become successful leaders in their communities—whatever career paths they choose to pursue.

Buffalo State College truly transforms its students’ lives. I hope you will visit our campus in person.
