WORCESTER, Mass. - Nearly a half dozen local colleges and universities are working out agreements with Becker College to welcome transfer students, including Assumption University.

Assumption University and Becker have signed an agreement to offer transfer opportunities to eligible Becker students majoring in six areas: computer science, graphic design, management, nursing, pre-physical therapy, and psychology.

“It is our hope that this agreement will ease the burden of Becker students who are now seeking alternatives to their course of study in pursuit of a degree,” said Assumption President Francesco C. Cesareo, Ph.D. “We understand the unique challenges faced by Becker students as they search for a new institution to continue their degree programs or for a new institution at which to begin their college careers. Assumption has entered into an agreement with Becker to ensure eligible students who wish to pursue their education at Assumption will be able to do so without interruption and with the full support of the University’s admissions, academic, and student life teams.”

According to Assumption, any student who meets the school's criteria and were enrolled in a Becker College baccalaureate program in spring 2021 or were accepted for fall 2021 admission to a baccalaureate program at Becker College are eligible to partake in the transfer opportunity or apply to the University.

Assumption is waving application fees for Becker students and providing free access to Assumption's Instant Decision Day where students can obtain an acceptance decision on the spot. 

Assumption is also honoring the tuition Becker students would have paid at Becker during the 2021-22 Academic Year.

“The Assumption community is ready to welcome Becker students to campus for a close-knit, engaging experience, much like that offered by Becker, and to support them in their journey to become thoughtful, engaged, and compassionate citizens,” President Cesareo said.
