专业应用和计算数学（PACM）是一个创新的专业科学硕士学位（PSM）学位课程。该计划是布法罗州立大学与布法罗和纽约州西部地区的一群合作伙伴之间的合作，它将来自学术界的活跃教职人员，商业，行业，非营利组织的辅助教职人员和顾问委员会成员组成一个多元化的跨学科小组，和政府机构。该计划的目标是培训研究生在许多新兴领域的职业，这些领域现在需要具有应用和计算数学扎实且深入的背景以及有效的商务和沟通技能的新型劳动力。
Professional Applied and Computational Mathematics (PACM) is an innovative Professional Science Master's (PSM) degree program. This program, a collaboration between Buffalo State and a group of partners from Buffalo and the Western New York area, brings together a diverse interdisciplinary group of active faculty from academia and adjunct faculty and advisory board members from business, industry, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. The goal of the program is to train graduate students for careers in many emerging fields that now demand a new type of workforce with solid and in-depth background in applied and computational mathematics, as well as with effective business and communication skills. The PACM program consists of 27 credits of academic training in data analysis, mathematical modeling, business communication and management, as well as 3 credits of research internship. The core courses are broken up into 1-credit modules that will be updated as needed to keep the program current. Also this format allows for more flexible scheduling, including night or weekend classes, and summer or J-Term sessions.
