Politics & Public Service Institute
Perfect for prospective government and politics majors! Begin your program in the classroom, learning the basics of political theory and government. Then take advantage of Suffolk University’s unique location just behind the Massachusetts State House and around the corner from City Hall by applying what you learned through experiential learning opportunities at different levels of government. Evenings and weekends, you'll take advantage of area resources by going on a Whale Watch or dining in the historic North End. Catch Blue Man Group in the theater district, or run around the city on a scavenger hunt to find the most obscure items possible like dirt from the Big Dig! It’s all included in the Politics and Public Service Institute.
Suffolk University, founded in 1906 by Gleason L. Archer as Suffolk School of Law is now a comprehensive university located on Boston's historic Beacon Hill. With residence hall facilities on Tremont Street across from the Common and a new residence hall on Beacon Hill, the Law School building at lower Tremont Street and the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University near the Public Garden in Park Square, the university circles the mid-town public parks in our urban version of the traditional campus quadrangle. The University enrolls more than 3,500 undergraduates from 29 states and 97 countries. In addition, there are over 1,500 graduate and professional students and over 1,700 students in the School of Law, bringing our total enrollment to approximately 7,000 students. Two-thirds of our undergraduate students are enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences, and 33% are in the Sawyer School of Management. Almost 20% are multicultural students. Suffolk students and guests have access to the wealth of resources found in the downtown centers of finance, health care, commerce, government and law. Enjoy close proximity to some of the world’s top cultural and tourist attractions.
