ASSUMPTION COLLEGE

Assumption offers a classic liberal arts education and strong business and professional programs. Students are exposed to an array of disciplines as they consider new ideas, new ways of looking at the world, and new ways of questioning. Faculty members create an academically stimulating environment that challenges students to achieve their full potential as they think through their values and life. At the same time, the skills students learn at Assumption also prepare them for successful and rewarding careers.

As a Catholic institution in the Assumptionist tradition, we take religion and faith seriously as an integral part of the human experience. We explore questions that get to the deepest desires of the human heart and recognize the role of faith and reason in the search for truth.
