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?)

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!

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.
