Assumption University in the USA – Study America

tutor and education consultant in the USA

BOOK A CONSULTATION

Assumption University was formerly known as Assumption College. Located in Worcester, Massachusetts, it is a private Roman Catholic school. It has over 2000 students.

Assumption University offers 35 specialties, the list of which has recently been replenished with new modern areas:

• neurobiology;
• cyber security;
• analytics;
• medical case.

At Assumption University, you can complete a bachelor’s or master’s program. Only in 2020 Assumption College received the right to be called Assumption University. Until that moment, he had a difficult and long history.

The college was founded in 1904 with the help of the Catholic order. Its first campus was located in the Greendale area. In those days, only men had the right to study in it. Almost all lectures were held in French, and only a tenth of the disciplines were in English.

In 1953, a powerful tornado destroyed almost all the buildings of the college, and he was forced to move to the Salisbury Street campus. Officially, Assumption University resumed its work in 1956. And in 1969, women were allowed to study there.

Campus and student life Assumption University

There are two residence halls for freshmen: Desautels and Alumni. They have double rooms, and the buildings are located in the very center of the campus. Worcester and Salisbury Halls are open to both freshmen and sophomores. There are single, double and triple rooms. Hanrahan and Nault Hall accept students from all courses.

In addition, students can live in one of the townhouses. Aubuchon offer rooms for six, and Bissonnette for four. Wachusett and Moquin Hall are five-bed apartments. The rooms have bunk beds. There is a shared kitchen and bathroom. Students call this living “The Ts”.

In 2001 Plough and South Hall were built. And in 1998 – a separate center of residence, which is called LLC. To get into this building, you must apply in advance. It is considered by the commission and makes a decision, selecting students according to certain criteria. Since 2007, every student who lives in an LLC must attend hobby groups.

Assumption University has periodicals published by the students themselves:

• The student newspaper Le Provocateur is published every two months;
• Heights – published annually.
• Rooster Toro is a popular science monthly magazine.

Athletic Achievement

All Assumption University students are encouraged to be active. Many are in competition. Institute teams participate in the Second National Sports Association. Men’s sports include golf, hockey, basketball and baseball, and running. Women are fond of lacrosse, rowing, softball.

In 2005, a multi-sport stadium was opened on campus. More than $33 million was raised for its construction. The stadium was built on the site of a former lacrosse football field. At the moment, six sports teams are involved in its territory, including women’s lacrosse and field hockey teams.
