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.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion aren’t buzzwords on a Suffolk University whiteboard. Nor are they aspirational concepts. These are critical components that inspire and drive our community’s ongoing efforts to level the playing field for our students, so all can reach the heights of their ambitions.
To meet the challenges in our world, we’re going to need as many people as possible working at the peak of their abilities. That often requires having access to, and completing, a college degree–one of the main drivers of social mobility in our country. Suffolk was founded to expand that access to people traditionally excluded from higher education based on their backgrounds or identities.
Much work and dedicated effort are still needed. Opportunity and achievement gaps remain realities for certain groups of people, whether in terms of race, class, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, national origin, religion or any of the ways in which we identify ourselves. Closing these gaps—fostering inclusivity for all college students and equity in their careers and lives—is a continuing goal of our institution.
The Suffolk community’s diversity and inclusivity are essential to our strength, and have been since our founding. We don’t just educate students—we welcome, support, and champion them along their individual paths to success.
At Suffolk University we are driven by the power of education, inclusion, and engagement to change lives and positively impact communities. Committed to excellence, we provide students with experiential and transformational learning opportunities that begin in the center of Boston, reach across the globe, and lead to extraordinary outcomes for our graduates.
Suffolk University will be a leader in experiential learning, known nationally and internationally for excellence in providing students access to real-world and global learning opportunities through outstanding academic and co-curricular programs and partnerships that take full advantage of our borderless, urban campuses in Boston and Madrid.
We will advance our mission by ensuring that our students gain the core competencies needed to build successful careers in a rapidly changing world. A sharp focus on preparing students and alumni for lifelong career and community success will put Suffolk at the forefront of career education efforts at colleges and universities nationwide.
