Admission Requirements A college preparatory program is strongly recommended, with work in social sciences, English, natu ral sciences, mathematics, and a foreign language. Buffalo State’s primary criterion for admission is the student’s high school average in college preparatory coursework. Additional criteria include strength of program; class rank; and letters of recom mendation from counselors, teachers, and employers. Applicants must submit standardized test scores (SAT/ACT). A portfolio is required of fine arts and art education applicants; an audition is required of music and music education appli cants. Most freshmen are accepted directly into their majors; however, freshmen who wish to major in childhood education or speech-language pathology must complete certain prerequisites before applying to the major. Freshmen who wish to major in business, computer information systems, criminal justice, exceptional education, forensic chemistry, or social work may be accepted into a pre-major sequence to com plete departmental requirements before being formally accepted into the major. Applied Learning Buffalo State and the Western New York community offer opportunities for students to “learn by doing” through internships with local organizations. Students gain valuable skills through involvement with applied research and community service programs sponsored by campus centers. Students preparing to be teachers are involved in classrooms early in their academic careers and they learn in a variety of educational settings—urban, rural, and sub urban. Under graduate students are encouraged to engage in origi nal research, with assistance from faculty mentors.
