A University of Western New York was started at Buffalo under the sponsorship of the Presbyterian Church and property was gained at North Street and College, (the site of the later YMCA), on the north side of the Allentown district.[10] This school was embraced by the state on April 8, 1836.

In 1887, a doctoral level school was sorted out in Buffalo, which rapidly persuaded the chance to be connected with Niagara University just toward the north of Buffalo. Taking following four years, in 1891, the expert's level school was grabbed by the University of Buffalo as the University of Buffalo Law School, which had a downtown Buffalo office. In the basic couple of years of the twentieth century, the University started making arrangements for a clearing understudy school to finish the urgent structure of a school, and in 1909 the University gained the Erie County Almshouse grounds from the locale of Erie, which changed into the University of Buffalo's fundamental grounds.

The understudy school, the doctoral level school, and master's level school were all moved to the new grounds. Amidst the late 1960s, the College of Arts and Sciences was divided three separate schools: expressions and letters, commonplace sciences and calculating, and humanistic frameworks. Amidst the 1998–1999 scholarly year, the three schools were joined to re-make the present College of Arts and Sciences, when the benefits of Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics were joined, by upgrade issued by the State University of New York.[15]
