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. Nursing students who are interested in study abroad are encouraged to consider summer offerings as an academic semester abroad experience cannot fit into the nursing curriculum.
Internships
Assumption starts planning for your future the day you arrive on campus. Our Career Development and Internship Center helps students secure exciting and fulfilling internships where you’ll apply knowledge obtained in the classroom in a professional setting, preparing for a future career or additional study. Assumption connects students to internship opportunities in corporations, government agencies, research hospitals, non-profit organizations, and more.
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?)

Nursing 2023
Assumption’s nursing program provides students with the support and attention they need to succeed.
I want to become a nurse so I can help people when they need it most. I’ve seen nurses in action and appreciate the skills and compassion that they provide their patients. This combination of technical skills and compassion would allow me to truly impact another life.
Nursing 2023
Assumption feels like home.
I toured other college campuses but quickly realized what I wanted in a school and found it at Assumption. An active member of ROTC in high school, I naturally fell into a caretaker role and knew Assumption’s new nursing program would be a great fit for me.
Nursing 2023
I fell in love with Assumption’s campus and the idea of being part of a brand new nursing program.
I’ve always known I’ve wanted to become a nurse and wanted to help people. I graduated from Blackstone Valley Tech’s Health Services program and am a certified nursing assistant (CNA).
Nursing 2023
I chose Assumption because I really loved the campus and Dean Stover made me feel at home.
I also like the 1:1 connection students have here with faculty - you can’t get that attention from larger nursing programs. I always wanted to be a nurse and my past experience volunteering at Tufts Medical Center just reaffirmed that.
