Assumption University has been providing education to the youth of the Thai and other nations since 1969. The University employs English as the official medium of instruction. It has formal links and cooperation agreements with an extensive network of international institutions of higher learning for scholastic exchange and research programs. The University is administered by the Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel, a worldwide Catholic Religious Order devoted to education and philanthropic activities. The Congregation operates 15 educational institutions in Thailand. The University has a student body of about 19,870, including a relatively large complement of international students drawn from 75 countries globally.

The Civil Service Commission of Thailand accepts its academic standards. Assumption University is recognized in the U.S.A., and many foreign universities accept other countries and transfer of credits from the University. AU Graduates can pursue advanced degrees anywhere in the world. The administrators fully appreciate that it is the University's function to contribute actively to sustainable development. It is the most critical factor in economic and social growth, determining businesses' success and failure. Thus we consistently pursue two main goals: first, to preserve, refine, and advance knowledge through imaginative scholarship. Second, to transmit that knowledge to our students through effective teaching and dissemination. Assumption University was initially originated from Assumption Commercial College as an autonomous higher education institution under the name of Assumption School of Business. With the Ministry of Education's approval, it was officially established as Assumption Business Administration College or ABAC. The Ministry of University Affairs accredited it. It was granted new status as "Assumption University" by the Ministry of University Affairs. The University is a non-profit institution administered by the Brothers of St. Gabriel, a worldwide Catholic religious order founded in France by St. Louis Marie De Montfort, devoted to education and philanthropic activities. The Congregation has been operating many educational institutions in Thailand. The University is an international community of scholars, enlivened by Christian inspiration, engaged in the pursuit of truth and knowledge, serving the human society, primarily through the creative use of interdisciplinary approaches and cybertechnology.

Assumption College, a Catholic institution sponsored by the Augustinians of the Assumption and 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 to transform the minds and hearts of students by the pursuit of the truth. Assumption favors diversity, and ecumenically welcomes all who share its goals. Our students are exposed to various disciplines that expand their minds and enhance their critical thinking skills as they consider new ideas, new ways of looking at the world, and new ways of questioning. Faculty members create an academically stimulating environment that challenges students to achieve their full potential as they think through their values and life. Simultaneously, the skills students learn at Assumption also prepare them for successful and rewarding careers. In the Assumpionist tradition, we encourage intellectual, social, and personal growth. We take religion and faith seriously as an integral part of the human experience. We explore questions that get to the deepest desires of the human heart and recognize the role of faith and reason in searching for the truth. Our students encounter ideas that have contributed to the formation of a Christian outlook on the world that reflects the type of education envisioned by Fr. Emmanuel d'Alzon, the founder of the Assumptionists. Whatever a student's faith, we believe that the Assumption experience provides opportunities for personal spiritual growth and a set of values that will encourage students to use their knowledge in service to others. It is an atmosphere that is intellectually challenging, personally rewarding, and spiritually fulfilling. When you choose Assumption, you can count on receiving personal attention from kind, friendly people throughout the community. Faculty, administrators, staff, religious, and students all work together to ensure that everyone is valued and supported. The Assumption is small enough that people know students as individuals and large enough for students to find diverse opportunities. Experiences inside and outside the classroom help shape a student's "personal compass" and encourage intellectual, social, and personal growth. IT&MS offers a wide range of technical services and support to the campus's students, faculty, and staff. With four computer labs, eight computerized classrooms, and a broadcast-quality media center, Assumption students are provided with industry-leading tools and facilities to encourage advanced learning. Classroom technology is updated annually with the latest instructional technology services. The Information Technology Center was completed in 2002 as an addition to the Fuller academic building. The IT Center houses the IT staff, labs, and classrooms for collaborative projects, multi-media, foreign language work, and access to specialized application software. The Helpdesk (aka The Hub) is also located on the first floor of the IT Center. The DiPasquale Media Center, built-in 1977, provides audio/visual services to the Assumption College community. The Media Center houses media staff, classrooms, studios, and equipment necessary for the campus, classroom, and student productions. Services include video duplicating, support for the Avid ISIS TV production software, campus cable TV and electronic bulletin board, and AV support for campus events. Assumption College's Student Development & Counseling Center is an on-campus resource that supports student growth and development as they meet the challenges and choices faced throughout their college years. The staff provides confidential personal assessment, which is covered by the student's tuition. College is a time of change and often a time of many firsts. They are becoming independent, meeting new people, living in a new environment, managing time effectively, and making decisions about the future, and dealing with the demands of academic life. While these changes are exciting, the transition may not always be smooth. As members of the Student Development & Counseling Center Staff, we seek to support the mission of the College and that of the Department of Student Affairs. We promote the development and self-actualization of our students through counseling and educational programming. Through personal counseling and educational programming on mental health issues, we embrace the Assumptionist goal of fostering each student's full potential. Assumption College attracts young people who are curious about learning new things and excited by the world of possibilities before them. Through a traditional liberal arts curriculum with business, sciences, and professional programs, Assumption students explore new ideas, make connections across disciplines, and push themselves to achieve more than they ever thought possible. With 41 majors and 48 minors, academic opportunities are vast, and Assumption's professors go above and beyond – in and out of the classroom – to challenge and support students and encourage them to let their light shine. The educational experience is grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition, which cultivates both the intellect and personal values. The academic atmosphere is marked by individual attention and the quest for personal excellence. Students gain essential professional experience through our internship program and independent research projects. Ninety-eight percent of Class of 2015 graduates were employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation. Assumption College is located on 185 acres in a beautiful, residential neighborhood, just minutes from downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, New England's second-largest city. This location offers numerous advantages, including the opportunity for internships in virtually any field. Construction is now complete on the Tsotsis Family Academic Center, a 60,000-square-foot state-of-the-art academic building that contains 13 high-tech, flexible classrooms, seminar rooms, common study spaces, a 400-seat performance hall, a rehearsal room, a multi-purpose space, faculty offices for the Assumption Core Texts and Enduring Questions Program, the Business Studies Department, the Honors Program, the Center for Teaching Excellence, and a new Center for the Study of Ethics. More than half a million dollars in renovations were recently completed in Taylor Dining Hall, the primary dining facility on campus.

As a Marist school, we plan and work so that everyone in our community can experience joy and hope. We are passionate about being a place where young people flourish.

Assumption College: an inclusive and transformative Marist community, inspiring one another to shape the future with audacity and hope. The people of Assumption College have long aspired to 'seek the things that are above' by making visible the Marian face of the Church. Cherishing the rich heritage of having provided a quality Catholic education for rural families for over 120 years, we appreciate and recognize our unique place in the hearts and minds of Australians. In a new way, we strive to cultivate young women and men who can confidently live as 'good Christians and good citizens' [1]. Our Marist inheritance is a gift that guides the school's daily culture in life-giving and challenging ways. Our community's adults and adolescents are committed to a mindset of ongoing improvement and see life-long learning as the cornerstone of our development. We are proud to support and encourage others to achieve their potential and know that partnerships with families, local schools, and other community and educational organizations enrich us and help us provide even more excellent opportunities for all. Knowing that we are a community blessed with much, we hear the call from those on the margins and, in solidarity, advocate and toil for a more just and merciful world. In a gradually becoming more urbanized region, we believe in and work for the values of a healthy and lively rural life – where people of all ages and backgrounds feel welcomed and nourished. We are enriched by the presence of our borders, many of whom hail from families whose association with the land has shaped and changed our nation. Together, our rural and urban families create a unique social environment that calls for a courageous discernment of evolving times and agility of response that ensures our students learn to know, be competent, live together, and, most significantly, grow as persons' [2]. As such, we affirm: Mary courageously said yes to all that God promised. Like her, we seek to witness and nurture in all a passionate and compassionate spirituality through which Jesus is known and loved. The early Marists proclaimed: 'Let it be said of us, as it was of the first Christians, 'See how they love one another' [3]. In a world thirsting for connection and belonging, we strive to be a place where a family spirit of love, respect, and mutual trust are the wellsprings of growth and healing.

Inspired by his example, we dedicate ourselves to building an aspirational and responsive school that ignites a love of learning and celebrates personal excellence. Gospel leadership is characterized by service. In our presence to one another and through the joyful giving of ourselves, we model and promote the dignity of all.

This they did – but as the new century approached, the Catholic educational needs of rural families from northern Victoria and southern New South Wales had to be considered. View full school

Inspired by St. Marie Eugenie, we passionately form persons and communities of faith and action through a transformative education that nurtures faith and spirituality, pursues academic excellence for service, and instills social responsibility, thus forging "character for life and life for God." In the 81 years of Marie Eugenie's life, seven political regimes followed one another in France. It was a troubled time, though, from the point of view of social, political, artistic, and ecclesial life, it was rich in change and innovation. The French Revolution of 1789 signaled a break with the past: new ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity shook the foundations of monarchy, not only in France but throughout Europe. New philosophies challenged the traditional understanding of humans thought there was a new consciousness of self, the world, and others. People became increasingly interested in their own emotions and passions – human nature became a fascinating field for study. School of thought, such as the Romantics and the Symbolists, succeeded each other in literature and painting, putting the accent on feelings, emotions, and imagination. The new scientific method and mentality gained ground and shaped minds, sharpening the conflict between science and faith. The latter were all too often paralyzed by scrupulosity, guilt, and fear of offending God. Industrialization was beginning to transform economic structures and the lifestyle of society, relationships, and ambitions. The German philosopher Hegel (1770-1831) had proposed a theory of progress in which, it seemed, the poor paid the price. Social reformers and theorists invented the vocabulary used and spread by Karl Marx (1859-1913) to explain history in economic theory. Working men began to organize themselves, and France discovered the power of popular movements. Such a historical upheaval brings about profound changes in culture and destabilizes society's structures – its government, social order, economy, education – and its Church. In the 1980s, there was an increase in the number of college students. The lack of space was resolved with the building of the Therese Emmanuel Hall. In the decade of the '90s, the College continues to grow both in population and academic and nonacademic programs. Assumption College San Lorenzo is the only Assumption school run by the Sisters that offers tertiary education in the Philippines and internationally. The College continues to be a part of the spirit in which the Assumption was founded. It continues to adapt its curriculum to make education relevant to the challenge of the times. In 1940, Assumption added a College Department to its Elementary and High School divisions. Sr. Philomene Marie was the first College Dean, and Sr. Esperanza Maria Cu-Unjeng, its executive secretary. The College was preparing to open the liberal arts department when war broke out in 1941. The school was abruptly suspended, and the students sent home. The College department re-opened in Herran, Malate, on June 26, 1948. In the school year 1948-49, at Mother Rosa Maria's suggestion, the College Department started with a one-year secretarial course. The Department's course offerings expanded gradually in the following years to include liberal arts in 1950, accompanied by education and commerce in 1951. Small post-war classes were typical of European semi-tutorial classes, with only 11 or 12 students per classroom. The Archdiocese authorized the College to give a catechist's diploma to students who had taught catechism either in Sunday school or in the public schools during their years with the Assumption. Sister Esperanza Maria was College Dean, Mother Espie, as she was fondly called, was a no non-sense Dean. She was a genuine administrator who also succeeded uniquely as a true mother to her students. She rightly demanded excellence, but she trained them in simplicity and prompt obedience. For lack of space and facilities, the College transferred to San Lorenzo Village in Makati in June 1959, occupying Aquinas Hall. It was a modern campus with the latest facilities. An outdoor stage, patterned after the Hollywood Bowl, a swimming pool, tennis court, and a bowling alley were built to complement the academic courses being offered for the ultimate development of a "sound mind and sound body." The College curriculum was heavily Thomistic in orientation. The students were provided with a rich program of philosophical studies. Together with this, an environment was prepared where creative talent and social commitment could blossom. Changes marked the growth of Assumption San Lorenzo. Sister Esperanza's health suffered, especially during the martial law years, and she was relieved of healthy responsibilities.Sr. Esperanza's assistant of many years, Sr. Ma. Luisa Locsin became College Dean. The early 1970s was a period marked by a heightened restiveness among the college department students that had to be continually tamed during those years. Besides student activism, the government imposed rigid new restrictions, which curtailed academic freedom. The political-social situation brought to the fore flagrant violations of social justice and human rights that forced education to take on a more robust social thrust. Within the formal school set-up, a new organizational structure integrated lay faculty members with administrative responsibilities. Ms. Emma Rotor held the position of Academic Dean, succeeded by Ms. Remedies Poblete. View full university
