Earn your master degree online
You will earn the same diploma as our on-campus students
At the University at Buffalo, applied ontology studies how we define, structure and connect concepts so that people and systems understand information in the same way. Rooted in philosophy, it brings abstract thinking into practical use, especially in fields that rely on complex data such as medicine, science, technology and artificial intelligence. A great fit for students interested in philosophy, data science, artificial intelligence, health care, informatics and logic.
