Located between the financial centers of New York, Toronto, and Chicago and right next to Lake Erie, the University at Buffalo School of Management has built an impressive reputation as one of the top B-Schools, offering an MBA since 1923. Buffalo is the perfect location to get a business degree in a city known for its food (home of the buffalo wings), culture, and sports with four distinct seasons.

“In addition to the recent economic renaissance and startup boom in the Western New York area, there is also a presence of various economic development programs that are helping to accelerate this entrepreneurial ecosystem and helping startups drive growth. This flourishing space makes Buffalo the perfect location to launch a business, and the Buffalo community wants to see startups succeed and grow their ventures,” says Alisa Franasiak (‘24) on Buffalo’s website.
