International Year One: Business Program

Overview

The undergraduate International Year One (IYO) Business program provides the academic, language, and cultural support needed to succeed at Suffolk University.  Upon meeting progression requirements, students matriculate into the BSBA program.  Other degree options are available as well.  Students will benefit from fully integrated classes with both domestic and other international students on campus while learning from highly trained university instructors and tutors.  Program duration is based on English language abilities determined at the time of admission to the university.
