Suffolk University

A city rich in culture and progress. A university where learning knows no bounds. Since 1906, Suffolk University has been woven into Boston’s thriving urban landscape, offering a truly immersive environment in which to live, learn, and explore. It’s the ideal location for Suffolk to provide students with the keys to successful lives and careers: access, opportunity, and experience.

Suffolk University offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and law degree programs with real-world experience at their cores. Accessibility is in our DNA, which is why we offer flexible ways to learn, from part-time and evening schedules to certificates for working professionals and online classes. And our small class sizes allow faculty to learn each student’s name, recognize his or her potential, and build important mentoring relationships.
