YOUR WORK EVOLVES. SO CAN YOUR SKILLS.

Welcome to the Center for Continuing & Professional Education at Suffolk University!

Our non-degree programs cultivate the personal and professional growth of workers at all stages of their careers, and serve the evolving needs of employers through corporate partnerships and customized education.

That’s why we’re here: to keep a broad range of workers on the cutting edge of their professions with the skills and knowledge that changing careers demand.
