From the School

With 50+ graduate program options across our College of Arts & Sciences and Sawyer Business School—including dual degrees and an interdisciplinary program with our Law School—Suffolk University is the place where motivated students advance and reshape their careers. Since 1906, Suffolk has been the center of downtown Boston, contributing to the civic, cultural, and business life of the city. Our impact has been consistently recognized by educational and professional organizations around the country and the world.

Graduate students at Suffolk learn from than just coursework and case studies. They learn while making practical contributions in the fields they're passionate about: communication, financial management, healthcare, public administration and policy, crime and justice, business innovation and leadership, data analytics, and more. These opportunities are made possible by the connections we forge between our academic programs and the businesses, institutions, visionaries, and innovators that drive Boston, New England, and the world.
