in Public Relations.
Buffalo State launched a new master's program in
public relations in fall 2016. The 33-credit-hour
program emphasizes writing and research skills,
public relations theories, and internships. The
program offers year-round evening courses for
the convenience of students who are working
full time. The degree program expands and
replaces the former four-course public relations
sequence in the college's multidisciplinary
master's degree program.
'4+1' Pathways = Undergrad,
Grad Degrees in Five Years.

in Early Childhood/Exceptional Education and
Dietetics/Adult Education-in September 2016.
The pathways offer motivated students an expedited way to achieve an undergraduate and graduate
degree in an accelerated course of combined study.

by the respective department, and as a result,
earn both an undergraduate and graduate degree
in as little as five years. Buffalo State also offers
4+1 pathways in Curriculum and Instruction
and Teaching English to Speakers of Other
Languages (TESOL).
