You’ll enjoy a wealth of experiential learning opportunities here. Suffolk accepts up to 79 credits in transfer. And depending on your major and what you have completed with transfer credit, you can even save time and money by earning your master’s degree through our 4+1 Program or our accelerated programs. You’ll be a valued member of our vibrant and close-knit community, too. Suffolk has a proud tradition of making transfer students feel at home on our dynamic campus. That’s why close to 1 in 5 Suffolk students transferred here.

As you consider your future, you have your choice of many great schools in Greater Boston. We hope you will consider our transformative university among them.
