About
Assumption College is a Catholic post secondary institution founded in 1904 and located in Worcester, Massachusetts. When first established the school was dedicated to educating French immigrants and residents to become leaders in their New England communities. During World War II the school suffered a massive decline in enrollment due to nearly all students enlisting in the military. The school was kept afloat financially through increased enrollment in the preparatory school it operated. In 1952 a graduate school was added to Assumption COllege and in that same year the school was struck by a tornado. As a result, Assumption College took the opportunity to separate the college from the preparatory school and move to its Worcester location. Since that time the school has seen growth both in its facilities and enrollment, currently serving nearly 3000 student a year.
