about assumption college College’s Mission Assumption College, rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, strives to form graduates known for critical intelligence, thoughtful citizenship and compassionate service. We pursue these ambitious goals through a curriculum grounded in the liberal arts and extending to the domain of professional studies. Enlivened by the Catholic affirmation of the harmony of faith and reason, we aim, through the pursuit of truth, to transform the minds and hearts of students. Assumption favors diversity and ecumenically welcomes all who share its goals. Assumptionist Sponsorship The order of the Augustinians of the Assumption, founders of Assumption College, was begun by an educator whose most cherished project was the establishment of a Catholic university. Fr. Emmanuel d’Alzon envisioned an institution committed to academic excellence. Father d’Alzon was also devoted to helping people learn, adapt, grow and change in various ways. Location Assumption College occupies 185 acres in Worcester, approximately three miles from the center of the city. Worcester, the second largest city in New England, is located approximately 50 minutes west of Boston. Cultural attractions in Worcester include the American Antiquarian Society, the Worcester Art Museum and the Higgins Armory Museum. The large college and university population in the area, as well as the DCU Center, attracts an array of theatrical, musical and artistic groups each year. The city is a blend of various ethnic groups that migrated to the area in the nineteenth century and in recent times. Worcester is both an industrial center and a university community, home to 12 institutions of higher learning that constitute the Colleges of the Worcester Consortium.
