Newman University launched its HERE bachelor’s degree program in 2024 to combat the higher education desert in Southwest Kansas and is celebrating its first round of graduates of this innovative program this month. The HERE program began by offering four bachelor's degree majors to graduates of local community colleges and due to its overwhelming support with 55 students enrolling so far, has expanded its program to include a total of ten degree tracks.

Newman University recently announced a new three-year degree program that will begin the fall semester of 2025. Newman’s Pathmaker program varies from the traditional bachelor’s degree in many ways, specifically by empowering students to chart their own course to achieve learning goals rather than following a traditional path filled with standard coursework.

Today Newman University learned that it will receive $1,200,000 for the Newman University Higher Education Access for Western Kansas Initiative, a comprehensive effort to bring bachelor’s degree programs and updated technology to the underserved area of Southwest Kansas. The program benefits all students enrolling in the new program, with a focus on agribusiness.
