NewU is the First Private Nonprofit College to Launch with In-Person Instruction in the United States in Over 15 Years

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, June 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- NewU University offers a much needed affordable, high quality, and stress-free college experience to university students from across the United States. Its Bachelor's degree programs are in-person, not online.

The newest entrant in the Higher Education space bursts onto the national stage with a highly differentiated and innovative offering designed to tackle head on some of the biggest challenges college students and parents increasingly struggle to overcome such as student debt, graduation and job placement rates, and student wellbeing.

Tuition at NewU is only $7,500 per semester, with programs designed to complete in just 3 years, not 4. This means that total tuition for a NewU student over the entire course of study, even without financial aid, is 70% lower than tuition at other private nonprofit colleges, and lower than most public unviersities, too [1].

NewU is also innovating by completely taking the stress out of applying to college. In addition to its low and affordable tuition, the university is removing all cost, stress, and anxiety from the application process. NewU pioneered a radical redesign of the traditionally lengthy, stressful, and exhausting process of college applications. Prospective students fill in a completely free online form in less than 10 minutes, attach an electronic copy of their high school transcript and photo ID, and submit the application from their computer or mobile phone. In another first in Higher Education, NewU also removes a major anxiety factor from the process as applicants get a decision in record time within 24 hours from applying.

This unique university launches with a first class of students and in-person (not online), programs in Washington, DC this Fall. NewU offers multidisciplinary, practically-grounded, and future-proof courses and majors designed to equip students with the skills and tools needed to succeed in a world of unprecedented uncertainty and constant change. Students gain practical knowledge and real-world skills, critical thinking, collaboration, resilience, intercultural proficiency, and the propensity for lifelong learning. These are some of the key success factors in our new normal, where Artificial Intelligence, automation, rapid innovation, and demographic, pandemic, and financial shocks change not only the job market, but entire industries and societies overnight. NewU’s inaugural programs in Creativity and Innovation Leadership; Entrepreneurship; and, Psychology and Human Behavior, are purpose-built to enable students to succeed and find happiness wherever life takes them. NewU and its programs are licensed by the Washington DC Higher Education Licensure Commission (HELC). In a unanimous decision, the 5-member Commission granted a license demonstrating that NewU meets and exceeds all standards applicable to universities in our nation’s capital.

Stratsi Kulinski, NewU University’s founder and President, said: “Many talk about Higher Education reform, but meaningful action just can’t come soon enough. Students and parents continue to struggle mightily to pay for college, and way too many live with the dire consequences of crushing student loans, starting but not finishing college, and woeful employment prospects, all because of the failed promise of a Higher Education system that refuses to embrace systemic restructuring and reform for so many years now. At NewU we believe in leadership by example, so we took action to tackle these challenges. We built a brand new university from the ground up. We implemented everything that works well for students and parents at a great university, and threw away everything that doesn’t. Higher Education done right is a powerful enabler of a life of purpose, service, and prosperity. Education is the great equalizer, but not when it burdens us with heavy student loans, gives up on us before graduating, or fails to prepare us for the future. Our children, neighbors, and friends deserve much better. It is time for a new breed of university. It is time for NewU.”
