Here, students major in what they love and use their classroom connections to land prestigious internships and establish themselves in their fields. Suffolk undergraduates gain global insights—and the cultural awareness needed to thrive anywhere in the world—through our 50+ study abroad programs and our own campus in Madrid, Spain. They grow into leaders and skilled communicators in our 100+ student organizations. And they take advantage of every opportunity they find in Boston.

Maggie Randall BS in Government, 2018; MA in Applied Politics, 2019 FAST-TRACK THAT BRIGHT FUTURE After completing the International Baccalaureate in high school, Maggie Randall came to Suffolk with 36 credits. So, she skipped her freshman year, enrolled in the Honors Program, finished her bachelor’s degree in three years, and earned her Master of Arts in Applied Politics—all while working at the Massachusetts State Senate. “I think I pace myself well,” Maggie, BS ’18/MA ’19, says in the ultimate understatement. “Because I lived on campus for two years, it felt like I was a freshman with all my friends. I never felt like I was out of place, because there were so many other students on individualized tracks. And going between school and work always felt natural.” Because she grew up on Cape Cod in a civic-minded family, it also felt natural to major in government and minor in environmental policy. “Being involved ensures you’ve done the most you can to influence what your country, community, or state will be,” she says. Maggie got involved in a big way right around the corner at the Massachusetts State House. Her internship as a senate page led to a job offer as an office administrator and legislative aide in the Massachusetts Senate president’s office while she was still an undergrad. “By the time I was doing my master’s, I was working full-time,” she says. She also carved out time to serve as The Suffolk Journal’s political columnist, take two Alternative Spring Break trips, and spend a semester in DC through Suffolk’s partnership with the Washington Center. Will she run for office? “Oh gosh,” she says, “I’m 22! I haven’t thought seriously about that yet.…But I’d like to.” She’s got time to decide.
