The University will no longer be accepting applications for admission to CCE

After extensive analysis, Assumption University has decided to sunset the Continuing and Career Education division (CCE). This decision reflects market realities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and opportunities that point in new directions for adult learners at the University, namely in the area of graduate studies.

As a result of this decision, the University will no longer be accepting applications for admission to CCE, nor rendering decisions for those who have completed applications.

The CCE website will remain active for current CCE students.
