Why Honors

Buffalo State's honors programs are academically challenging opportunities for gifted and intellectually committed undergraduate students.

Honors students engage in special seminars and receive individual attention from dedicated, highly qualified faculty members.

Our student scholars enjoy an exhilarating academic journey of shared intellectual and creative pursuits, scholarship, and service learning, both in and outside of the classroom.
