Suffolk University

Programme overview

Suffolk University's MBA emphasizes learning-by-doing through experiential projects, industry partnerships and an urban Boston location that connects students with the city's business, healthcare and nonprofit sectors. The program is offered in several formats—full-time and part-time on campus, an AACSB-accredited online MBA (finishable in two years, no GMAT required), and an Executive MBA—and includes options tailored to nonprofit professionals and multiple dual-degree tracks.

What you'll study

The curriculum can be customized with 16 concentrations in areas of strong employer demand, including business intelligence, supply chain management and finance. Core and supporting topics reflected across the program and related graduate certificates include operations management, marketing, data analytics and teamwork and innovation. Experiential elements include internships, partnership projects with Boston organizations and international travel seminars that place students in real consulting and executive-engagement settings.

Entry requirements

The published page lists multiple formats (FT/PT, on campus and online) and notes that the Suffolk MBA Online does not require a GMAT; specific admissions criteria (transcripts, work experience, references) are not detailed on the source page and should be confirmed with Admissions.

Career prospects

Suffolk reports strong employment and salary-related outcomes for its business graduates: 86% of MBA graduates were employed at the time of graduation and the full-time MBA cohort from 2020–21 showed a 64% average salary increase. The page also highlights EMBA outcomes (41% promotion rate during the program and an average salary & bonus package reported in an EMBAC survey) to illustrate leadership-level returns for executive participants.

Scholarships & funding angle

The source page does not provide specific scholarship amounts or funding deadlines. Prospective applicants should explore Sawyer Business School and university financial aid pages for scholarships, assistantships, employer tuition support and external funding; experiential programs and internships may also help offset costs through paid placements or employer partnerships.
