Newman University Admissions

Newman University is moderately selective with a 51% acceptance rate. About half of applicants gain admission, making it accessible but still requiring solid academic preparation. The school attracts students who want personal attention, reflected in its 13:1 student-faculty ratio and enrollment of just 857 students. Catholic values shape campus life, though students from diverse backgrounds make up the community. The university particularly seeks students interested in nursing and education, two of its signature programs. Strong high school grades matter more than test scores here. Newman looks for students who value small-class learning environments and want to be part of a tight-knit academic community in Kansas's largest city.
