Continuing Education Students Give Assumption an "A" The CE program has conducted anonymous surveys of its students every three or four years since the mid 1980s. A focus group of CE students was also conducted this past October to evaluate the program’s Web site. “We were blown away by the level of satisfaction in the survey,” said Brian Bercier, assistant dean of continuing education. “It’s easy to look at positive results like this and say we’re doing a good job, but we’re always looking for ways to maintain the high quality of our academic programs.” Many CE students were referred by a friend or co-worker who thought highly of their experience at Assumption, or who thought the quality and service was the best around. One student said they chose Assumption because “at a college fair, the Assumption CE representative was the only one willing to spend the time to answer all of my questions.” Another student said the CE program’s “understanding of the needs of single parents who are trying to have a decent future” made all the difference. According to the survey, generous transfer credit policies and faculty “who really teach students, value and care about them” help make Assumption a great choice for adult learners.
