You’ve got to know your world before you can change it. That’s why the Suffolk student experience has a purposeful global spin.
Our City. Our Campus.
Get directions and explore our neighborhood.
Suffolk students become truly worldly thinkers–ones with insights that span cultures and time zones. This global awareness sparks creativity, innovation, and a deep empathy for their fellow humans. These are the skills they’ll draw upon as they solve tomorrow’s challenges and maximize tomorrow’s opportunities.
But they don’t just study the world. Our students experience it for themselves.
We believe everyone should have the chance to study abroad and explore life beyond our borders. Suffolk students can take advantage our 50+ partner institutions across the globe. They also have the opportunity to travel with purpose on short-term study tours with faculty and staff.
Students gain new transnational perspectives just by joining our diverse campus community in Boston, too. We welcome students and faculty from all over the world. They’re excited to share their points of view with–and learn from–each other.
The world is waiting. Suffolk students have access to it all.
“The minute we touched ground in Spain, I was like, ‘I want to get started on this adventure.’ We were all in a new experience in a new environment that we were all just excited to be in together. We walked out of Madrid knowing each other.”

“Everyone in the Global Gateway Program wanted to learn about a new country. It was a very ambitious, kind, great group of people fascinated with traveling and exploring. It really opened up this new world to me and made me want to make the most of my college experience.”
