Message from
the Dean
Welcome to the New College web site. You have come to
a very interesting place.
Since 1974, New College has served adult students—persons
like yourself—by encouraging them to complete
bachelors' degrees that combine credit earned previously,
either at St. Edward's or elsewhere; evening, weekend,
and web-based New College courses; directed independent
study; and credit for experiential learning.
Working with a New College faculty especially sensitive
to the needs of adults, New College graduates have pursued
degrees in nearly all the undergraduate majors offered
at St. Edward's University and have earned the Bachelor
of Arts, the Bachelor of Science, the Bachelor of Arts
in Applied Science, the Bachelor of Liberal Studies,
and the Bachelor of Business Administration. Three New
College degree programs-Business and Management, Computer
Systems Management, and Organizational Communication-are
offered in an accelerated format, allowing students
to complete majors in as little as one year.
In addition, many undergraduate students have accelerated
their degree programs even further by taking advantage
of our portfolio-based prior learning assessment process.
More than 25 years and almost 1,500 graduates later,
some people ask how it is that New College can still
call itself "new." I hope the reason is clear. New College
is in the business of helping adults re-new themselves.
If renewal is what you are seeking, I hope you will
read further and will apply to us. We look forward to
working with you and to becoming a part of your future.
