This fall, Buffalo State will introduce new online versions of its undergraduate and graduate catalogs.

These convenient, easy-to-use references will provide faculty, staff, and students with the most accurate and up-to-date information available on academic programs and policies.

The new online catalogs will be fully searchable and will provide handy links to pertinent information on the Buffalo State website and departmental sites. Currently, the undergraduate and graduate catalogs are available online in static PDF format only.

The new catalogs address one of the major objectives of Buffalo State’s 2009-2013 Strategic Plan: to enhance the effectiveness and responsiveness of administrative operations. In a streamlined process, authorized content providers from each department will be able to easily review and update program information via the central catalog database’s user-friendly interface. Complete system training will be offered to content providers in the coming months by the Office of Information Services and Systems (ISAS).

A limited number of printed undergraduate and graduate catalogs will continue to be produced on a biannual basis. The university expects to realize significant cost savings by reducing its inventory of printed catalogs.
