成人教育研究生证书是为希望在成人教育学科上进行研究生级培训而又不需要硕士学位的专业人员设计的。研究生证书课程包括成人教育课程理学硕士的四门课程。完成证书课程并选择在布法罗州立大学继续研究生学习的学生，可以要求将证书课程课程应用于成人教育的硕士学位。该程序不会导致教学认证。
The graduate certificate in adult education is designed for professionals who desire graduate-level training in the discipline of adult education but do not need a master's degree. The graduate certificate program consists of four courses from the master of science in adult education program. Students who complete the certificate program and choose to continue their graduate studies at Buffalo State may request that certificate program courses be applied toward the master's degree in adult education. This program does not lead to teaching certification.
