Graduates receive Buffalo State College degree



Buffalo State College, in partnership with Alfred State College and Cattaraugus Alleghany BOCES, is accepting applications for a Spring, 2001 master's degree offering in Adult Education. Students accepted into the adult education graduate program will be able to earn a complete Buffalo State College master's degree by taking two courses each semester, including summers, over a two-year period. All courses will be offered at Wellsville High School through interactive live television and or on the internet.

Buffalo State College is also currently offering a distance learning adult education master's degree in Jamestown, Rochester, Binghamton and Long Island, New York.

The adult education graduate degree granted by Buffalo State College is approved by the New York State Education Department and SUNY Central Administration, and is consistent with the American Association for the Adult and Continuing Education's Commission of Professors' guidelines for graduate programs in adult education in the United States. It is the only adult education master's degree offered in the SUNY system. Only a very few schools in New York State offer such a program.



The adult education master's provides a foundation in teaching adults in educational, business, government and community agency settings. It nurtures skills in managing programs and personnel in each of these settings. Ultimately, it fosters an understanding of the learning needs and opportunities of adult and non-traditional learners in a constantly changing technological society.



The adult education master's degree requires 36 credit hours, with 24 credit hours in required courses and 12 hours of electives.



Alfred area students will be able to register for two courses in the Spring of 2001. The courses -- ADE 610: Methods of Adult Education and ADE 620: Applications of Instructional Technology -- will be offered on Tuesday evening.
