University at Buffalo
The University at Buffalo operates across three campuses in the Buffalo area, with health sciences based downtown on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. As the largest institution in the State University of New York system and a major research university, it offers public tuition alongside doctoral programs and funded research activity. The downtown location matters for nursing students, placing the School of Nursing among the region's teaching hospitals, research institutes, and other health professions schools rather than isolated on a suburban campus.
Nursing offerings include baccalaureate preparation for students entering the profession, an accelerated pathway for those holding degrees in other fields, a completion track for licensed registered nurses, and graduate study through the master's and doctoral levels for nurses moving into advanced practice, education, or research. Undergraduate coursework builds through health assessment, pharmacology, and pathophysiology into nursing care across medical-surgical, maternal-newborn, pediatric, psychiatric-mental health, and community settings, with simulation work preceding clinical rotations at Buffalo-area hospitals and agencies. Graduates are prepared to sit for the NCLEX-RN. Compared with the region's private nursing programs, UB pairs public tuition with a full graduate ladder and research infrastructure on one campus.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
