Suffolk University

Founded in 1906, Suffolk University is a four-year, private university that draws students from the US and around the world. Our nationally recognized curricula place a strong emphasis on experiential learning, small classes, leadership development, and internships and career connections.

Suffolk students benefit from their close proximity to Boston’s top employers—including the key financial, health care, biotechnology, and start-up industries; advertising agencies; and government institutions that define the city—and a world of opportunity. Students pursue career-shaping internships at influential organizations and forge strong, essential connections with professional mentors. They also complement their classroom studies with experiential learning opportunities at sites throughout the city. Upon graduation, Suffolk students are well prepared for success.
