Think Global in Boston

At the Suffolk University Business School, Sawyer School of Management we do more than just talk about the new global economy as a remote business model. Our curriculum is designed to embrace evolving business practices. Our faculty hail from all parts of the globe and bring a unique outlook to the classroom. Our students come from over 100 different countries and our curriculum focuses on global business.

The dynamic multicultural climate of our campus demonstrates the positive way in
which the global economy is bringing all of us closer together. Suffolk's vibrant community
reflects the changing face of the city of Boston. Long viewed as a tradition-bound city steeped in history, Boston has broken free from the bonds of the past and transformed itself into a modern-day "Athens of America" with a decidedly cosmopolitan flair.

Home to 200,000 college students, Boston has always held higher education in high
esteem. Perched on Beacon Hill, a cobblestoned urban oasis on the most prominent hill
in the city, Suffolk Business School stands tall as a leading business institution with innovative programs designed to prepare students to adapt to the rapidly evolving global
economy.

Around the World in Many Ways

Suffolk Business School has designed dozens of innovative business and public administration
programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our programs offer traditional basic
studies and cutting-edge coursework that address the latest business trends.

Our programs are designed to meet the needs of our students. Suffolk Business School
was founded almost 70 years ago with working students in mind. Today, the school
remains committed to offering flexible programs, allowing our students to fully immerse
themselves in internships, fellowships, study and work abroad programs, and other enriching pursuits.

Our graduates have gone on to serve as leading business executives and public policy
makers in countries that span the globe. The education they have received at
Suffolk Business School gives them a keen insight and working knowledge of the
complexities of today's workplace. Whether working for a multinational corporation,
starting a company with an eye on the global market, or working alongside colleagues
from other countries, Suffolk Business graduates have benefited greatly from our emphasis on embracing the global economy as a powerful force in today's business world.

“A business education at the Business School offers a perspective that is unique in every sense. The view is much more global and our focus more timely than a business education of the past. At Suffolk Business, the emphasis is on leadership and innovation in a rapidly changing world. It's about real world experience in a world-class city."
