Canisius University fosters a dynamic learning environment through our two main academic divisions, each containing specialized schools designed to help students find their ideal academic path. These divisions are guided by accomplished faculty who bring together diverse research, results-oriented teaching and real-world experience. Your chosen school serves as both the foundation of your educational journey and your entry point to the multi-faceted learning opportunities available throughout the campus and the greater Buffalo community.
Beyond traditional undergraduate and graduate programs, Canisius also houses the School of Continuing, Advanced and Professional Studies, which provides flexible educational pathways for working professionals and adult learners seeking to advance their careers or explore new fields. This school recognizes that learning doesn't end with a degree and offers programs tailored to the unique needs of students balancing education with professional and personal responsibilities.
Through this comprehensive structure of divisions and embedded schools, Canisius ensures that learners at every stage of their career can access the resources and support they need to achieve their educational and professional goals.
