At Continuing & Career Education (CCE) at Assumption College, our mission is to provide high quality, career-focused education at a great value. We know that you're going places...let us help you get there!Affordability and Value
CCE at Assumption is one of the best college values for adult students seeking high-quality associate and bachelor degree programs.A recent analysis of the cost of higher education for adults in Central Massachusetts found that the expense of attending CCE at Assumption is comparable to the total cost of tuition and fees at public colleges. We do not assess additional (and sometimes hidden) fees -- a standard practice at other institutions. Furthermore, CCE's tuition is about half of the cost of tuition at for-profit colleges. This is good news for adult students who want a premier private college education for roughly the total cost of attending a public college!
Generous Transfer Credits and Credits for Prior Learning
Save time and money at CCE at Assumption College. With CCE's generous transfer credit policy, you can apply a maximum of 75 transfer credits towards your bachelor's degree. Those 15 additional credits will save you the tuition cost of five 3-credit courses, plus the many months or years it would take to complete five courses.
In addition, all satisfactory transfer credits from college courses, up to 75 credits, are applied, no matter how old they are! Credits for lifetime learning outside the classroom are also awarded to qualified applicants.
We regularly hear from incoming students who have previously-earned college credits that CCE at Assumption College is the most accommodating in accepting transfer credits and in rewarding credits for lifetime work experience.
CCE's expert academic advisors will show you how to take advantage of our generous transfer credit and credit for prior learning policies. Simply bring your transcript and resume to your first academic counseling session, and we will analyze how many credits will transfer to your new program. Chances are very good that the number will be higher than at other colleges!
