an environment which fosters constant professor-student and student-student interaction, a faculty who have a passion for their fields and for teaching, and a proven record of success in graduating highly-qualified professionals who are prepared to become leaders in their fields.

The quality of our programs is no secret.
U.S. News continues to rank Assumption’s Master of Arts in Rehabilitation Counseling as one of only 3 New England programs in the top 50 in the nation. In its other human services programs, the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology clinical program has exploded in popularity over the past 5 years and is considered one of the finest programs in the nation by leading psychologists; the M.A. in Special Education graduates teachers who lead  their profession in using new and innovative approaches to maximize the academic development of children. The successful launch of our M.A. in School Counseling program has quickly spawned an Institute for School Counseling and School Psychology that provides innovative seminars for working school counselors. And innovations in our MBA program have resulted in a 75% increase in enrollments over the last two years.

Recently, 95% of our graduate students from all programs said they were either satisfied or very satisfied with their experience.
This is a natural result of our energizing academic environment, superior faculty who love to teach, and the college-wide emphasis on faculty-student interaction and mentoring.
