Looking for a convenient way to earn your graduate degree? Hilbert’s continues to have an excellent relationship with St. Bonaventure University. One significant manifestation of this is the SBU Buffalo Center, which has offered graduate programs, on a weekend basis, at the Hilbert campus since 1992. SBU graduate enrollment staff tell us that they especially appreciate the many Hilbert alumni that have studied there. “The Hilbert alums we’ve seen in our grad programs”, noted Bruce Campbell, director of graduate enrollment, “have shown themselves to be engaging, thoughtful and well-prepared. We are always glad to see applications from Hilbert grads.” Hilbert alumni of the last 5 years receive the BonaAdvantage grant (15% discount) or can apply instead for the Dean’s Scholarship (20% discount). If you would like more information on the St. Bonaventure weekend master’s programs, visit the St. Bonaventure Buffalo Center, call 716-646-1500, or click here to be directed to the SBU graduate studies web site.
