Newman University Reviews

"I am enjoying my experience at Newman University. I am taking mostly online classes because I work full time and I have three children. Taking on-line classes has given me the convenience of studying at home on my own time. Only a few of my graduate classes have been on campus with the option of joining on-line if unable to attend, which Ive had to do. We only meet four times during an 8 week period. The class I am currently taking will also meet four times on campus with the option of joining thru Zoom, the online program used for video conferencing. I also like that if you arent able to join the class, you can view the recording at a later time. Overall, the syllabi for my classes have been very clear as far as expectations for the courses. There has only been a couple of discrepancies between what is on the syllabus and what is on Moodle which is the online learning platform we use to check and turn in assignments. I also like that the courses are only 8 weeks. I have taken up to three classes during the 8 week period. Three was a bit much, I would only stick to two courses at a time. The professors have been really good about answering questions, they will usually respond to an e-mail within 24 or 36 hours. I would highly recommend Newman University for a graduate program, the staff is very friendly and will help answer questions or concerns promptly. The professors are very professional and knowledgeable. The only downfall would be that my plan of study was changed a couple of times. It was a little frustrating but once I had the final, it was fine.Read Less"

"Overall, I was satisfied with my time at Newman University. I met a wide variety of people and most of them will be life long friends. The professors are outstanding especially in the science department. If you were not able to meet with a professor during their office hours, they were always an email away. The class sizes are an added bonus because everyone knows who you are including your professors. The small, intimate class sizes meant for a better learning experience for everyone. If I had a chance to go back and do it all over again, I would always choose Newman, The memories made along with the experiences are ones I will never forget. Newman is a great place to get an education.Read Less"

"I obtained my degree from Newman University. Specifically, a Masters in Social Work. Newman University is located in Wichita, Kansas and they offered a distance program in Colorado Springs, where I live. In Colorado Springs, there are not many options to obtain a Social Work degree. One school was 2 hour drive away while another school was only available every 2 years. Newman definitely is friendly to the working student and made it possible to get a Masters in the field that I love. In addition, the teachers were excellent as well as the staff. Because the distance program is relatively small, the classroom and school feels incredibly comfortable and some of my classmates have turned out to be lifelong friends! In addition, the program was very clinical which in turn, prepared me in passing my licensure exam!Read Less"

"Newman University is based in Wichita, Kansas, but I am currently attending their outreach Masters in Social work program in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The school is very small with about 100 MSW students. It has great professors who are encouraging and supportive, and with small class sizes the program feels more like a family than a school. I am enrolled in the part-time program which will take 4 years in total to complete. The classes are on evenings and weekends to help accommodate those like myself who are working full time. Newman University continues to help me feel motivated to realize my goal of becoming a social worker.Read Less"

"I came to Newman due to the medical school and graduate medical professional school acceptance rates. I was unbelievably impressed with the staff and faculty. Not even just the science faculty but the faculty as a whole. The teachers treat you as peers and I built relationships that will last well beyond my time at Newman. The quality of my education I believe truly helped my success in Physical Therapy school, not only in the classroom but in building relationships with my teachers while here. I think the Newman studies program can be a huge component of creating the well-rounded human that the school offers, however it is still in it's early phases. 2 of my 4 classes I still use material from daily. The other 2 I did not get much out of and do not use in my daily life. I think as they continue to improve the Newman Studies Program, they will continue to exceed expectations in academic success. However, when I started at Newman, students had the opportunity to stack scholarships which is now not allowed. This is forcing some students to go elsewhere as they cannot afford the private school education prices when they are not allowed to maximize their scholarship opportunities.Read Less"

"Terrific univeristy with small classrooms and one on one attention."

"Newman is great at giving individual attention and pushing you to succeed"

"This graduate program is focused around providing opportunities for non-traditional students who are unable to attend class mid day or for long periods of time. Classes are at night after work allowing me to work full time and still attend classes. Staff are incredibly easy to contact and receive assistance. Support staff at the school are also very friendly and knowledgeable."
