Faculty, Students and Alumni

Connections Worth Making

Our faculty includes some of the most experienced and knowledgeable teachers you'll discover on any business school campus. Their research can be found in the leading academic journals and textbooks, and their expertise and advice is sought frequently by the business community, as well as by members of the business media.

In the classroom, this expertise enables them to adroitly illustrate the theoretical side of a business concept, then bring it to life for our students with practical examples from industry. The commitment to teaching that is demonstrated by our faculty, along with their contacts, availability and friendliness, makes them a powerful-and highly approachable resource for our students.

At the University at Buffalo, you'll learn and grow with classmates who possess strong academic credentials, clear leadership potential and solid records of post-bachelor's work experience. The diversity of their backgrounds serves to broaden and deepen your perspectives, helps to prepare you for global business and frees you to willingly accept change. They'll be part of your network for the rest of your life.

Alumni success is perhaps the most telling indicator of an MBA program's effectiveness and prestige. Alumni of the University at Buffalo and particularly those of the School of Management can be found in leadership positions at some of the most successful corporations in the world. They can also be found at the helm of small- and mid-size businesses that are the cornerstones of communities around the globe. Many of the "real-world" components of our MBA curriculum are enhanced by the participation of our alumni, and many of our alumni work closely with our Career Resource Center (CRC) staff to prepare our students for the job market. Students can contact alumni for career advice and guidance, for instance, through the CRC's telementoring program. And prominent alumni share their expertise and experiences with students through student organization events, campus visits and informal receptions.
