Suffolk University

Interdisciplinary Programs

Suffolk University offers advanced degree programs that draw on resources and expertise from across the institution—the College of Arts & Sciences, the Sawyer Business School, and the Law School. With these dual-degree and cross-disciplinary options, you can prepare to excel in highly interdependent fields: healthcare, law, finance, data analytics, public policy and administration, and more.

Dual-Degree Programs

Expand your career options by enhancing your education—while savings time and tuition. Suffolk's dual-degree options let you earn two advanced degrees simultaneously, increasing your demand in the job market. Some of these combinations span between our college, business school, and law school, granting you access to a wide range of knowledge and resources.

Certificate Programs

Looking for focused instruction in key areas of your discipline to help you stay professionally competitive? Suffolk offers over 30 certificate programs in areas like finance, healthcare management, public administration, and marketing. Most of these programs can be completed in less than a year and stack toward a master's degree.

Microcredential Programs

Suffolk's 3-credit academic microcredentials empower you to upskill on your schedule. With 90 cutting-edge courses in areas like business, analytics, and healthcare, you can deepen your knowledge to boost your career. You can also stack these short courses and build them toward a graduate certificate or degree.

Graduate school is a big step, but you'll have plenty of help. From application advice to financial aid, course selection to academic support, we'll work with you to streamline your start at Suffolk. And our Center for Career Equity, Development & Success is available to you throughout your time at Suffolk—and for the rest of your working life.

Suffolk offers a wide variety of paths to reach your goals. Busy at work? We provide part-time and online programs. Want your master's sooner rather than later? We have full-time and accelerated options. Need to deepen your expertise in one particular area to qualify for that next-level job? We offer dozens of certificate programs in specific disciplines.

Here, you will work with professors who are also respected professionals in their fields—mentors who are prepared to guide you not only toward academic excellence, but also toward career opportunities. And you'll get to know them well, because we keep our class sizes small—an average of 17 students.

Suffolk University is pleased to offer merit and federal loan funding to eligible graduate students. All graduate students are automatically considered for merit funding at the time of admission to the University. No separate application is required for merit consideration. Recipients are selected based on the applicant's academic credentials presented on the admission application. International students, while not eligible for federal aid, are also considered for merit funding at the time of admission.
