Newberry College

Newberry College has a rich tradition of providing personal attention, challenging academic programs, and a close-knit community that welcomes everyone. We combine our strong liberal arts foundation with specialized professional degree programs to prepare students such as you for successful futures.

Newberry College prepares students in the Lutheran liberal arts tradition through our supportive academic community for lifelong intellectual and personal development, meaningful vocation, and engaged citizenship in the global society.

The Lutheran intellectual tradition creatively engages the dialectic tensions inherent in the dynamic nature of human life. Newberry College will re-affirm itself publicly as aligned with the Lutheran church, and be guided by a set of educational principles that emanates from the Lutheran intellectual traditions. These Lutheran core values include:

Truth is the ultimate objective of both Faith and Reason which is best obtained through the integrated pursuit of free inquiry, hypothesis and rigorous scholarship. In keeping with the school’s historic faith, motto and mission, Newberry College leads students to learn and respect the Christian faith, history, traditions and supporting documents in the context of a pluralistic dialogue among the sciences, arts and global religions.
