4+1 Programs at Suffolk

Waive the prerequisite or preparation courses your program of interest may require by using equivalent undergraduate coursework that you’ve already completed, with grades of B or better, to shorten the total length of your degree program.

If your program of interest requires the GMAT or GRE as a part of the application process, you are eligible to waive the testing requirement component of your application.

Top students will automatically be considered for merit-based fellowship awards. No separate application is required to be considered.

Suffolk University offers Accelerated Master's Programs for four graduate business degrees.
