Newman University 2025 » Impressive Teens

Newman University is a Catholic university named for St. John Henry Newman and founded by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ for the purpose of empowering graduates to transform society. NUs mission of empowering graduates to transform society integrates the universitys core values: Catholic identity, academic excellence, culture of service, and global perspective. Academic programs include over 40 areas of study and nine preprofessional programs. As a Catholic institution of higher learning, Newman finds guidance in Ex corde ecclesiae and other teachings of the Catholic Church and draws nourishment from its relationships with surrounding Catholic communities and dioceses. At the same time, our Catholic identity is distinctively shaped by the influence both of our founders and sponsors, the Adorers of the Blood of Christ, and of our namesake, the Catholic theologian and educator St. John Henry Newman. From the Adorers, we receive our special mission of developing and empowering our graduates to work for the betterment of societya mission inspired by the Adorers own founder, Saint Maria De Mattias. From St. Newman, we inherit our vision of the university as an institution that educates the whole person to seek the truth and to lead a meaningful and purposeful life. Finally, with a strong liberal arts foundation, our curriculum honors the richness and vitality of our Catholic intellectual heritage while affirming the value of dialogue involving persons of varied cultures and religious traditions.
