Undergraduate Programs/Majors

The Madrid campus offers an excellent variety of courses which form the foundation for over 70 different degree programs.  Small class size, which averages 15 students, allows close interaction between professors and students.  For up to two years in Madrid, students complete the majority of their core courses and then seamlessly transfer to Suffolk’s main campus in the historic center of Boston, or to any other American university worldwide.   

Unique to Suffolk Madrid is the agreement with neighboring Universidad CEU San Pablo, a prestigious private Spanish university, which allows students to enroll in a variety of classes in Spanish and have their course credits fully transfer toward the Suffolk degree.  In addition to coursework, a wide variety of cultural activities and an extensive sports program provide more invaluable interaction with Spanish peers.
