A significant distinction of Assumption’s HSRS curriculum is a required internship that enables students to develop and refine the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for working as a human service professional. Each student completes a semester-long internship in an appropriate setting. Students meet with their faculty supervisor weekly to process experiences and make connections between these experiences and course content/theory.

Internship: Speech-Language Pathology Intern at Wachusett Early Childhood Center
“ My internship immersed me into the field of Speech-Language Pathology in a preschool setting, and I worked alongside a Speech-Language Pathologist to implement speech therapy to children in need. The courses I took at Assumption prepared me to step right into therapy sessions, team meetings, and professional conversations about the progress and educational plans for the children receiving services. ”
