Your programs at Suffolk University

Our Academic English program prepares you for the university degree by improving your English language skills and providing you with the academic tools you need to succeed. Students like you will learn English in and out the classroom and you will be taught by our qualified and experienced faculty.

On top of that, you will receive customized support for international students to help you transition to life at a US university.

Graduate business certificates are designed for students who have already completed a bachelor’s program and want to elevate their business knowledge. Keep up with today’s job demands and expand your career through a specialization or pivot to a new path. Either way, you can earn your certificate in areas like business analysis, people management, sales leadership and SEO/SEM marketing in under one year.

International Year One allows you to begin earning credits toward your degree even if you don’t meet the academic and English requirements for direct entry. You will receive additional support to help you successfully complete your first year and graduate in the same amount of time as direct entry students. Your program length is determined by your English language scores.

Before your program starts, Suffolk will provide you with an estimate of credits that will transfer to the university. If you do not meet the English language entry requirements for the UTP, you can enter our Academic English program before progressing to either the UTP or direct transfer to Suffolk.
