Studium
An der Suffolk University in Downtown Boston stehen die Studierenden im Mittelpunkt. Massenvorlesungen gibt es hier nicht, kleine Klassen und ein persönlicher Kontakt zu den Dozent/innen setzen den Fokus ganz klar auf die Lehre. Ein erfolgreiches Konzept, für das die Universität dann auch wiederholt von U.S. News Best Colleges für die Qualität der Masterprogramme ausgezeichnet wurde und auch die einflussreiche Princeton Review sah die Hochschule bereits mehrmals ganz vorne im US-weiten Vergleich.
Ehemals eine Law School, bietet die Suffolk University mittlerweile auch Bachelor- und Masterprogramme in Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Sozial- und Gesellschaftswissenschaften, Geisteswissenschaften, Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaften, Natur- und Umweltwissenschaften, Ingenieurwissenschaften und IT, Erziehungswissenschaften sowie Kunst und Design. Auch einzelne Auslandssemester sind möglich.
Lohnt sich: Ein genauerer Blick ins Vorlesungsverzeichnis empfiehlt sich vor allem auch für diejenigen, die auf der Suche nach ausgefalleneren Studiengängen sind oder ganz spezielle Schwerpunkte setzen möchten: Wer Soziologie studiert kann sich z.B. im Bereich Health, Medicine and the Body spezialisieren, auch eine Schwerpunktsetzung im interdisziplinär zwischen Disziplinen wie IT, Psychologie und Kommunikationswissenschaften angelegten minor in Social Informatics ist möglich. Auch im Bereich Theater (Arts Administration, Dance, Directing) und im Bereich Communications/ Journalism (Advertising, Broadcast Journalism, Public Relations) bietet die Uni ein differenziertes, interdisziplinär angelegtes Studienangebot, das entweder eher die künstlerisch-kreative oder die wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Perspektive betont.
Die beliebtesten Fächer an der Suffolk University sind denn auch, neben den wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, Fächer im Bereich Communications und Art & Design. Ebenfalls viele Einschreibungen verzeichnen auch die Ingenieurwissenschaften. Im Masterbereich ist insbesondere der AACSB-akkreditierte MBA gefragt.
Im historischen Teil Bostons liegt das Herzstück der Suffolk University, der Beacon Hill Campus. Von hier aus ist es nicht weit ins North End, dem Party- und Ausgehviertel Bostons. Die Uni selbst bietet auf ihrem Campus mit dem Activities Center, zahlreichen Sportangeboten und Freiwilligenprogrammen ebenfalls viele Möglichkeiten.
