Our philosophy of
academics is best exemplified by a sampling of learning experiences
at Newbury College:
- Business students apply their knowledge
of management principles to a case study and suggest strategies
to assist a failing company;
- Psychology students observe patient behavior
in a mental health facility;
- Communication students use computer technology
to edit a video documentary;
- Culinary arts students develop a menu
and prepare the dishes for a College reception;
- Students in hotel administration plan
a convention with a local trade association;
- Interior design majors work with a designer
to develop a space plan for an attorney's office;
- Criminal justice majors observe a district
court trial and employ the results in a mock trial setting;
- Computer science interns staff the help
desk at a software firm.
All academic programs at Newbury College
integrate theoretical knowledge of the discipline with experiential
activities. Internships, course projects, and formal and informal
interactions with industry professionals make for a dynamic
learning environment. Professors represent a wealth of industry
experience that brings the real world into the classroom.
The curriculum includes a balance of professional
and general education courses, ensuring that students gain
the analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills
to be successful and productive in their chosen field. Newbury's
student-centered approach to learning is characterized by
small classes, an accessible and caring faculty, and the availability
of learning resources, including academic support and advising.
Three Schools offer bachelor degrees,
associate degrees, and certificate programs in more than 30
different career specialties.
