The History of Newman University
Newman University is a coeducational Catholic liberal arts institution offering associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degrees.
The university is a sponsored ministry of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ (ASC), United States Region, whose congregation was founded in Italy in 1834 by Saint Maria De Mattias, an outstanding educator. The community came to the United States in 1870, and the first group of Sisters to arrive in Wichita established a school for girls in 1902. For more history on the ASC click here.
In 1933 a two-year college, Sacred Heart Junior College, was opened with full year and summer courses available for both religious and lay women. The college was reorganized in 1952 as Sacred Heart College, a four-year liberal arts college to more effectively serve the educational needs of its students. In 1958, a regular evening program, also open to men, was initiated. This was expanded in 1963 to permit granting degrees to men. In 1965, Sacred Heart College became coeducational with residence facilities for both men and women. Master's degrees were offered beginning with the 1992-93 academic year.
A name change from Sacred Heart College to Kansas Newman College was effected in 1973 and on July 1, 1998 the name was changed to Newman University. The university is named after John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), an intellectual leader in the Catholic Church and in Catholic philosophy of education.
