Suffolk University

Suffolk University is a private higher education institution in Boston with full- and part-time undergraduate, graduate and law programs. It describes itself as the only university located in downtown Boston, which puts students close to jobs, internships, cultural and sports events and the rest of what the city offers. Academic areas range from finance and government to big data and business analytics, taught through the College of Arts and Sciences, the Sawyer Business School and Suffolk University Law School.

The university continues to expand its downtown footprint, recently opening its sixth residence hall, and it markets classroom views over the city as part of the experience. Honors students have a new Honors Suite, and the school highlights learning that happens in the classroom, around the city and across the globe. Prospective students, parents and families can find dedicated resources, and the school invites visitors to explore the neighborhood around its campus.
