Overview
A Catholic liberal-arts university in Worcester, Massachusetts, founded by the Augustinians of the Assumption, on a residential hilltop campus in New England's second-largest city.
Academics
A structured core liberal-arts curriculum underlies every major, with particular strength in nursing and other health professions and in business. A campus in Rome anchors a well-developed study-abroad program that is more central to the Assumption experience than at most similarly sized schools.
Campus & student life
Worcester offers a real small-city setting with a substantial student population spread across several area colleges, while Assumption's own hilltop campus stays residential and close-knit. Catholic identity is present in campus life without being the dominant lens for most students' daily experience.
Worth knowing
The Rome campus makes a semester or year of study abroad an unusually well-integrated option rather than a bolt-on program, worth factoring in for students interested in international study.
