A World of Opportunity Awaits

Where will your Suffolk education take you?

You’ve got to know your world before you can change it. That’s why the Suffolk student experience has a purposeful global spin.

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 of our very own campus in Madrid, Spain, as well as any of 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.” 
Jocelyn De Paz Biology Major, Class of 2022

Opportunities at Suffolk

Suffolk Madrid

Suffolk University Madrid Campus is our students’ gateway to Spain, the rest of Europe, and the world. Students can spend up to their first two full undergraduate years at Suffolk Madrid. Here in the Spanish capital, they prepare for future success with the same kind of transformative experiential learning, service-learning opportunities, and access to internships as they find in Boston.

Studying Abroad

Suffolk students learn to think in new ways, adapt to new cultures, and increase their self-confidence at their choice of study abroad programs the world over. We offer study abroad opportunities with our 50+ partner universities in more than 30 countries. We make experiencing the world easier for our students—no matter their majors—and help them transition back to Boston seamlessly.

Traveling With Purpose

Whether students want to explore Madrid in their first year at Suffolk or serve communities abroad, our short-term programs show them the world. Our Center for Community Engagement leads service trips during our winter and spring breaks, while students venture to Barbados with the Journey Leadership Program. Plus, our Global Gateway Program in Madrid is one of the country’s only study abroad programs specifically designed for first-year students.

Our Global Community in Boston

Global insights abound at our campus – home of one of the country’s largest international student populations, plus faculty from all over the world – in the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Boston. This fundamental component of the Suffolk experience intersects every aspect of a student’s journey.
