Sloan Professional
Master's Degree
Welcome to the website for the Alfred P. Sloan Professional Science Master's
Degree in Geological Sciences: Environmental Information Analysis. This new
and exciting graduate program is designed to integrate professional skills with
traditional geological knowledge in order to put the master's degree student on
a fast track in the environmental world. The program includes courses in
management, computational math, case-studies, and professional methodologies, as
well as an internship with an environmental company. We are offering two
geological tracks: environmental earth science and natural hazards evaluation.
IS
THE SLOAN PROFESSIONAL SCIENCE DEGREE RIGHT FOR YOU?
There
are at least four strong reasons for considering the Sloan Professional Science
Master’s Degree Program in the Geological Sciences at UB
Ř
The program
is top-notch. The program integrates geology courses and professional courses
that will give you the added edge for rapid
advancement in the environmental
consulting world.
Ř
The tuition
at UB is the least costly of any major public university located in the
northeast and mid-eastern seaboard states.
Ř The
internship is with major international consulting firms. When you graduate and
are applying for jobs, you will already have first-hand professional experience
in the environmental consulting world. This intern experience provides a
distinct advantage to you over other job applicants who do not such experience.
Ř No thesis is necessary for the MA, which means that you do not run the risk of
spending more time here than you planned because of slow progress in the thesis
work (a common attribute of theses around the USA)
Ř You
may qualify for the Arthur A. Schomburg Fellowship Program, which provides a
stipend of $7,500 plus tuition scholarship for a maximum of two years.

INFORMATION ON OUR CITY
BUFFALO, NEW
YORK
One final note:
some of you have no doubt heard of the poor, but undeserved, reputation of the
City of Buffalo, but be advised: this city and the region are a great area to
live and study. Twenty minutes to the north is Niagara Falls, the oldest state
park in the United States. Two hours to the south are wilderness areas in
the largest National Forest in the Northeast, and
also the largest state park in New York State (Allegany
S.P.). One hour south is the "Aspen of the East" (not our words--but Ski
magazine's) with great restaurants, bars and snow (such a snow belt––over 200
inches a year). Two hours to the east are the Finger Lakes with gorgeous
vineyards spilling down the slopes to the lakes. And Buffalo: world-class art
museums, symphony, hundreds of restaurants and bars with blues and jazz, and
legitimate theatre––more theatre than any other city between NYC and Chicago.
Overall, the low cost of living combined with all these attractions make this a
wonderful place to live for two years while you study with us.
