Faculty/Student Research

The Assumption curriculum encourages scholarly and real-world experience. With hands-on research conducted alongside faculty mentors, students gain a depth of knowledge and skills that lead to professional success and personal fulfillment.

Study Abroad

At Assumption University, the world is your classroom. Students can study and explore abroad in over 50 places from Vienna to England, South Africa, and even our own campus in historic, yet modern, Rome, Italy. Assumption’s study abroad program offers culture, history, and a living classroom for all.

Internships

Assumption career planning starts the day you arrive on campus. “Internship in Business” is a 3-credit seminar course in the Business Studies Department that is available to all business students. The course provides hands-on experience and training, networking and informational interviews with professionals, and assessment of your personal career strengths and interests. You will spend a minimum of 120 hours working in the field. During the weekly seminar, students discuss how organizational behavior and management concepts apply to their individual placements.

Assumption's Rome Campus

At Assumption's campus in Rome, Italy, the city and the country become your classroom through daily and weekend-long excursions throughout "the eternal city" and the Italian countryside. This unique study abroad experience will enrich your academic and cultural pursuits as you walk in the footsteps of emperors and gladiators then enjoy delectable Italian cuisine or perhaps a cappuccino after class in a local cafe. (Did you know that your financial aid follows you to Rome?)

Professor Daniels introduced me to many social media platforms and how to leverage them for business

My digital marketing classes taught me about valuable marketing resources such as pexels and other digital forums that I use daily at work. I learned about the important role social media marketing plays in a company’s brand.

Marketing Intern, Houston Sabercats Rugby Team

I’ve gotten a backstage look into the sports management and marketing world at my internship.

It is also extremely cool to be able to work in a place that isn’t the Northeast and see what the lifestyle is like in Texas. It’s very interesting to live somewhere different!

Tri-Branded Intern, Enterprise Rent-a-Car at Bradley International Airport

At my internship, I’ve learned a great deal about sales and have used the skills Assumption gave me.

I have also learned how to adequately contribute to a team while maintaining an individual journey with the company. I was ranked #1 on the Intern Matrix for the month of June at my branch.

Assumption's liberal arts, service and leadership opportunities have been great assets to me.

The culture at Fidelity reminds me of Assumption. It's a place where people support each other and form meaningful relationships which is very easy for me to do since the emphasis at Assumption was to always be thoughtful and compassionate.

I credit much of my success to the wonderful staff in the Career Development and Internship Center.

Because of their help, I can confidently say that they made me interview ready and helped me get my job with Amazon. The faculty and staff really care about the students and want them to succeed.
