Suffolk University

Suffolk University is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian university in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1906, it has operated for more than a century and offers undergraduate, graduate and law programmes through three schools: the College of Arts & Sciences, Sawyer Business School and Suffolk University Law School. Teaching at the university takes place in small classes intended to sustain close faculty-student relationships, with an emphasis on practical experience, internships and study abroad. Academic provision spans higher education, business education and legal education. The College of Arts & Sciences delivers undergraduate and graduate programmes built around real-world experience; Sawyer Business School runs undergraduate and graduate business degrees; and Suffolk University Law School offers law degree programmes. Flexible learning is a feature of the institution: part-time and evening schedules, online classes and certificates are available for working professionals alongside full-time study. Beyond the classroom, Suffolk supports student life through research centres, libraries, arts programming, student organisations and athletics. The university describes its mission as student-centred, with a focus on access and opportunity, and points to its connection with the city of Boston and its institutions as central to its approach.
