“Assumption prepared me for success in the 3:2 engineering program at Notre Dame. Not only was I given a solid understanding of the fundamentals of math and science, but my professors were extremely influential in my education. Assumption has given amazing opportunities along with all the tools necessary for success which guided me to where I am today.”

“My professors supported me and supplied me with the knowledge and critical thinking skills I needed. At my internship, I learned the basics of physical oceanography and applied that knowledge to the data analysis of the Indian Ocean. I even had the honor of presenting these findings at a symposium at the end of the summer.”
