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?)

Engineering Science 2015
Assistant Project Manager, MGAC - Project, Cost & Construction Management Consulting

Assumption prepared me for success in the 3:2 engineering program at Notre Dame.

Not only was I given a solid understanding of the fundamentals of math and science, but my professors were extremely influential in my education. Assumption has given amazing opportunities along with all the tools necessary for success which guided me to where I am today.

Data Analytics 2020
REU Fellow, Maryland Sea Grant Research Experience for Undergraduates

My professors supported me and supplied me with the knowledge and critical thinking skills I needed.

At my internship, I learned the basics of physical oceanography and applied that knowledge to the data analysis of the Indian Ocean. I even had the honor of presenting these findings at a symposium at the end of the summer.
