SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR ACADEMIC AND LIFE ACHIEVEMENT.A Newberry College education reaches beyond classroom walls,

city limits, pre-conceived notions of higher learning, and definitions

of success. A Newberry education is a personal challenge to every

student in pursuit of knowledge who possesses the drive to live

and learn with purpose. It is a new model for education – a living

and learning community that transforms study into action through

personal and professional interaction.

A thriving community of students, professors, staff, coaches,

administrators, professionals, and neighbors, Newberry College

takes an innovative approach to the traditional liberal arts

education. Through hands-on, real world experiential learning,

students connect what they learn in the classroom and laboratory

with what they learn in town, in the field, and on the job.

We empower students to embrace an evolution of thought and

a new way to see by challenging their minds as well as their

imaginations. We stand for purpose, tools, understanding, and

experiences designed to ready a new generation of citizen leaders

to transform our world through knowledge, faith, and service.

we call it education for life.

Newberry students don’t just take classes.

They ask questions to reveal how things fit together, work with other disciplines, and apply to life.

Newberry students don’t just volunteer.

They serve the health, well being, and spirits of children in their community through the Free Medical Clinic.

Newberry students don’t just study economics.

They work Conducting an economic impact study with business leaders and government officials did more than hone business major Jeremy Keen’s negotiation skills; it gave him the invaluable insight that a community’s success relies on its ability to balance the needs of all.

academicS that inSPire, motivate,

and matter. for life.

The inspiration for Newberry College comes from its founder, Reverend John Bachman, Naturalist,

Scholar, and Lutheran Church leader. Bachman believed education was an awakening of one’s

academic, social, civic, and spiritual self for the good of all.

Indeed, we still endeavor toward Bachman’s innovative vision today, offering a comprehensive

academic experience that spans across seven divisions, numerous pre-professional programs, and

multiple dual-degree programs. With a faculty that is truly distinguished – more than 75% of full-

time members hold the highest degree in their fields – our students receive personalized attention

and guidance that cultivate not just their intellect, but their overall being.

More than any set of skills or proficiencies, more than any collaboration or internship, more

than study abroad or hands-on experience, what makes a Newberry education unique is the

convergence of them all. You’ll discover how skills interact with disciplines; how students, towns,

cultures, industries, and countries are interdependent on each other; and how, as a global citizen,

you can make a difference within them all – for life.

What Newberry awakens in you academically, socially, civically, and

spiritually is more than the time spent pursuing a degree; it’s a way of life.

Choosing from some 60 majors, minors, and concentrations, you’ll be sure to

customize a program of study that can propel your professional career as well as

open new worlds of knowledge and ideas you never imagined before.

Want to combine a business major with a minor in environmental sciences? Or

a focus on forensics as part of your chemistry major? Or combine your love for

music with your vocation as a teacher or minister? Working under the expert

guidance of your faculty-mentor, you can design a program of study, internships,

and leadership experiences that cross over disciplines and make you ready for a

changing, global world.

Added to your academic major is a core group of courses that teach you to think

critically, write and speak effectively, understand people and cultures different

from you, explore and deepen your own beliefs and ideals, and open you to new

ideas and perspectives—the hallmark of an outstanding liberal arts education.

The value of our Education for Life model is widely recognized by those who

matter to your success. For instance, our professional programs in nursing,

teacher education, and music have all achieved the highest standards of national

accreditation. Our graduates are sought after by employers and graduate

schools alike. After leaving Newberry College, you’ll be well prepared for the

next stage of your professional pathway, wherever that might take you.
