Assumption University’s Core Texts & Enduring Questions minor engages students in the great books and ideas that have shaped humanity and the Catholic intellectual tradition. Students study political science, theology, the arts, and philosophy through figures including Plato, Augustine, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Descartes, and the Federalists. The program also hosts the CTEQ Alumni Symposium and offers study abroad opportunities.

"Assumption University is a comprehensive, private Catholic liberal arts institution, sponsored by the Augustinians of the Assumption. We awaken in students a sense of wonder, discovery, and purpose, forming graduates known for their intellectual seriousness, thoughtful citizenship, and devotion to the common good. Our curricular and co-curricular programs provide students with an education that shapes their souls, forms them intellectually, and prepares them for meaningful careers. We are a diverse community that welcomes different points of view and embraces all who share our mission. Enlivened by the Catholic affirmation of the harmony of faith and reason and by the pursuit of the truth in the company of friends, an Assumption education transforms the minds and hearts of students."
