You’ll always be ready for what’s next—even those jobs that do not yet exist—with the ability to adapt quickly and confidently to change even as the ground shifts beneath your feet.

Your academic journey will combine courses in your areas of greatest interest with our strategically designed core curriculum—enabling you to simultaneously develop in-depth understanding in your field and timeless skills that are coveted by employers in every industry.

And, like the vast majority of our students, you will put your knowledge and skills to the test before you graduate—gaining real-world experience that enables you to make valuable contributions the moment you launch your career. Through internships, practicums, group projects, research, study abroad, service learning, club activities, and more, you’ll become a skilled collaborator and leader, confident in your ability to turn your ideas and efforts into positive change.

Exceptional academics starts with exceptional people
There are a great number of things that set the Assumption academic experience apart. One of the most important—one that makes all the difference—is the incredible people you’ll learn with.

At Assumption, you’ll take courses from professors who are influencers in their fields—professors just as eager to help you succeed as they are in advancing in their discipline. You’ll study with—and learn from—smart and talented students from all corners of the globe. And, our emphasis on experiential learning offers you opportunities to work closely with leaders in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, gaining invaluable industry insight while making career-launching connections.

Be who you are. Become what you imagine.
As part of the Assumption community, you will do much more than broaden your knowledge. You’ll challenge your perspectives, test your abilities, leap outside your comfort zone, make lifelong friends, and expand your possibilities. Inclusive, supportive, and opportunity-rich, Assumption is a place where you’ll feel comfortable being yourself, exploring your potential, and pursuing every interest. You’ll achieve more than you ever thought possible, and embark on an exciting journey to a fulfilling, rewarding, and impactful life.

Everything you need to learn, grow, and achieve
Assumption offers round-the-clock access to opportunity. No matter what interests you, you’ll find a club, class, event, or resource that allows you to do it. Study at Assumption’s Rome campus for a semester. Take yoga and martial arts classes. Complete a life-changing internship in Worcester. Join the philosophy club, or create a new club with your friends. If you can dream it, at Assumption, you can do it. 

Maximum support in all that you do
Assumption cultivates an environment in which you’ll feel at ease expressing yourself, exploring your passions, and discovering new possibilities. You’ll be surrounded by diverse and interesting people who support and encourage you in every endeavor, from roommates, teammates, and classmates to career counselors, faculty advisors, coaches, and ministry staff.

Assumption is small—and that’s a big deal.
With 2,000 undergraduates, Assumption is a university where each student is known and valued. You’ll forge close, personal relationships with peers and professors whose ideas and backgrounds will enrich your education—and help illuminate your path.

Enjoy a stunning and vibrant campus
There’s a good reason nearly 90% of our undergraduates live on campus all four years. Our campus is beautiful, comfortable, rich with amenities, and buzzing with activity around the clock.

Enrich your experience through cocurriculars
Participate in student government. Join the kickball team or running club. Write for Muse, Assumption’s literary magazine. With nearly 60 clubs and organizations, you’ll have ample opportunity to exercise your mind and body.

Nurture your spiritual growth
Catholic students, students of other faiths, and those still searching all find at Assumption an open and welcoming environment in which to explore their spiritual side. 

Fostering your commitment to improve your life and the lives of others is central to Assumption’s mission. You can put your ideas into action in the ways that matter to you most, from promoting sustainable practices on campus to rebuilding homes in Alabama on a service trip.

Assumption offers myriad ways to connect more deeply with God, the world, and oneself.
