Suffolk University is a student-centered university in the center of Boston. We’re committed to nurturing our students’ academic, professional, and personal journeys and preparing them for success—however they define it. Suffolk offers a 14:1 student-faculty ratio, and our average class size is 23 students. Experiential learning is a cornerstone of a Suffolk education. Thanks to our partnerships with Boston’s top employers, our 4,439 undergraduate students enjoy internships, service-learning opportunities, and project-based curricula. Indeed, 98% of recent graduates were employed or enrolled in graduate school within a year of graduation.

Our downtown location places students at the center of all these possibilities—along with Boston’s famous arts, history, music, food, and sports scenes.

Last year, 98% of our incoming freshmen received financial aid. Suffolk automatically considers all applicants—domestic and international—for merit-based aid.
