How to Apply Graduate Program | Undergraduate Program GRADUATE ADMISSION INFORMATION
General information for applicants to the CSE graduate program Our graduate program offers the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. To apply to the graduate program, you must submit an online application with a processing fee and supporting materials. For information and materials, please review the information below.
Apply online
Supporting Materials and Application Processing Fee Applicants can download the application checklist for their own use. It does not need to be returned with application materials. - Application Checklist for Graduate Program
A non-refundable fee of $50 per degree must be submitted for each application for graduate study. No application can be processed without receipt of the $50 fee. Applicants can reapply for admission within one academic year only; after this time it will be necessary to submit a new application form including fees and updated materials. You may pay electronically by credit card:
To pay by mail, please enclose a check or money order in the amount of $50 in U.S. currency made payable to “University at Buffalo” and make sure to print the applicant’s name in the memo section. Send it with the required supporting materials.
Area Selection Form Applicants must indicate at least one field and at the most two fields of research interest. We recommend you to match your interest with the faculty and choose areas according to their research. Further information on faculty research interests is available at http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/research.shtml. Complete the “Curricular Interest” section inside your online application OR print out the Area Selection Form here: PostScript and PDF
Letters of Recommendation Three letters of recommendation are required. We strongly prefer letters from faculty who are familiar with your academic interests, achievements, and abilities. We will also accept letters from professional sources, but prefer letters from professors. The cover sheet for your 3 letters is available here: PostScript and PDF
Transcripts Original or properly certified transcripts or mark-sheets from your undergraduate and graduate institutions attended are required. If you graduated and your degree conferral is not listed on your transcripts, provide proof of degree. All foreign transcripts must include certified translations.
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) The general test is required. The subject test is not required, but recommended. Information and arrangements to take the exam can be made by contacting the Educational Testing Service at www.ets.org. We do not require a minimum total score for this test. Our average score is approximately 1300/1600 (if taken after October 2002) or 2020 (if taken prior to October 2002). Please send your results to us by using the following codes: - institution code 2925 - department code 0402
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Foreign applicants from non-English speaking countries are required to take this exam. The exam results must be dated within 2 years from your proposed date of admission and remain valid upon entering the term you applied for. For example, Fall 2007 begins in August 2007; therefore, your exam results must be valid until August 2007. Original TOEFL scores must be provided in order to obtain an I-20. Information and arrangements to take the exam can be made by contacting the Educational Testing Service at www.ets.org. Foreign applications will not be considered for admission without the TOEFL score results. It is strongly recommended to make test arrangements early in the year so sufficient time can be allowed for the results to be reported before our application deadline. The State University of New York at Buffalo has a minimum score requirement of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based). Please send your results to us by using the following codes: - institution code 2925 - department code 78
Financial Statement Foreign applicants must submit a completed financial form and include your original bank statement on the financial institution’s letterhead. An I-20 cannot be processed without this statement documenting sufficient funds for each year of intended study (2 years for master’s and 5 years for doctoral). Print your International Applicant Financial Form here.
Financial Funding If you are interested in financial aid in the form of a teaching assistantship, please answer the “Financial Aid/Financial Support” section in the application form. There is not a separate application form to submit for any assistantships within our department. The Graduate Affairs Committee determines the award decisions based upon your completed application packet.
