International Year One in Computer Science
International Year One in Computer Science will prepare you to enter your next semester of a bachelor’s degree program at Suffolk University.
Upon successful completion of International Year One and meeting university requirements for undergraduate admission, you may enter your next semester of undergraduate study at Suffolk University. This transition from an INTO Suffolk program to a university degree program is called progression.
