Students develop critical thinking by learning and using a problem solving process through a business situation analysis model to analyze various situations that confront managers and founders of small, medium, and large organizations. Students will also develop tools for analysis, allowing them to critically view business in a new and thoughtful way.

  • Sinatra: Voice of the 20th Century
    Before Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce came Frank Sinatra: America's first pop superstar. When he died in 1998 at age 82, his obituary in The New York Times noted that "Sinatra stood as a singular mirror of the American psyche." Students will explore the 20th century through Sinatra's life and six-decade career; his parent's emigration from Italy; his rise as a singer who reinterpreted the Great American Songbook into timeless classics; his films that reflected life in the wartime 40s, the Baby Booming 50s and Mad Men 60s but also addressed the then-taboo topics of drug addiction, government insurrection and homosexuality; his voice for racial and religious tolerance; and his association with presidents, industry giants, pro athletes and organized crime figures. Students will listen, watch, write, read, research, share and understand why Sinatra remains popular today.

Whether you have specific questions, would like an interview, or need help with your application, you can schedule a one-on-one meeting with a member of our admission team. We welcome the chance to get to know you better!

The Heart of Downtown Boston

Fall foliage season is a special time of year in the Boston Public Garden. Another classic city scene (and must-do on every visitor’s list): the Swan Boats that gracefully navigate this lagoon every spring.

Suffolk places you in the center of our city. You’re never more than a short walk, T ride, or Bluebike ride away from Boston’s world-famous landmarks and hidden neighborhood gems.

Suffolk students know how to make the most of city life. That includes savoring every gorgeous color as the sun melts into the Charles River.

All throughout Boston, you’ll find Suffolk students in their favorite part of the city. When you want a good chat with friends, take your pick from the cafes, restaurants, and other cozy nooks that surround our campus.

Boston’s filled with amazing hangouts and all the arts, entertainment, food, sports, and music venues you could dream of. And when you want to stay in, the views from our residence halls are pretty fantastic too.

Lined with cafes and stores, busy Washington Street in Downtown Crossing is a great place to window-shop, impulse-buy, and refuel with caffeine. It’s also just around the corner from our 10 West and Modern Theatre residence halls.

From the greatest acts to the coolest clubs, Boston’s nightlife is incredible—and incredibly close to our residence halls. You’ll never miss a beat when you live within walking distance of the city’s hottest venues.

Tremont Street is one of Boston’s busiest streets and home to Studio 73, Suffolk’s high-definition TV studio. Here you’ll find our students crafting and delivering “Suffolk in the City” reports that are broadcast throughout the region on New England Cable News.

All signs point to the sheer magic of learning and living in Boston. Suffolk’s hometown is the ultimate place to study and become who you’re meant to be—and we’ll support you every step of the way.
