Golisano Institute announces new partnership with Niagara University

Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship recently announced a partnership with Niagara University, offering its graduating students the option to pursue a bachelor’s degree in an additional two years with a 50 percent tuition reduction.

Admitted graduates can receive up to 66 credits that apply directly toward three of the university’s bachelor’s programs: communication and media studies, international studies and liberal arts.

“We love Niagara University’s entrepreneurial spirit,” said Ian Mortimer, Golisano Institute’s president. “Our work together will be two-way: our students will benefit from their highly regarded degree programs and Niagara University will benefit from our focus on skills-based credentialing, specifically in entrepreneurial sales. Our like-mindedness is obvious and will deliver value to Western New York.”

In addition to Niagara University, Golisano Institute also partners with Syracuse University College of Professional Studies, Roberts Wesleyan University, Alfred State College and Daemen University to offer students a path toward earning a bachelor’s degree.
