Course Listing Explanations  

Humanities

These interdisciplinary courses are designed by disciplines in the Humanities to show the integration of knowledge.

International Study Program

Students are encouraged to participate in overseas study and exchange programs, which contribute to individual and intercultural development. Newman University offers study abroad opportunities in Europe, Great Britain, Ireland and Latin America. The following is a list of study abroad opportunities:

ENGLAND ABROAD-Explore the history and culture of Britain during a three-week stay in England (LATE SPRING).

EUROPE BY RAIL-Combine a study of European cultures and history visiting several European countries over the course of a three-week trip.

LATIN AMERICA-Explore the history, language, and culture of Latin America during travel to various countries in Latin America. (SUMMER)

NEWMAN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE BIRMINGHAM-Newman University students may engage in a semester exchange with Newman University College Birmingham in England. (NUC Birmingham is an independent institution separate from Newman University in Wichita.)

Mathematics

When students look at their world, they see “a very high degree of unexpectedness, combined with inevitability and economy” (G.H. Hardy). These are the aspects of reality studied in mathematics. As a science, mathematics strives for preciseness and, consequently, for economy. It aims to systematize the inevitable and to predict the unexpected. Through such a study, students are prepared for careers involving predictions, computation, or investigation of repeated patterns.

Before enrolling in a course which has a prerequisite course listed, the student must have earned a grade of “C” or better in the prerequisite course.

Management Information Systems

Music

The music area assists students in developing their personal interest and aptitude in music.

Newman Studies Program

Core courses provide the curricular capstone of the Newman Studies program. Each course is interdisciplinary, with time devoted to exploring the ways two or more disciplines approach, understand, and investigate some shared theme. Core courses feature a critical and dialogical approach, and are meant to provoke deep reflection over issues that are fundamental to human life. Each includes a significant writing and research component and typically is team-taught. In-residence courses feature significant ‘seminar’ classroom experiences, while on-line courses foster shared, participatory learning. Topic varies by semester and instructor. May be repeated for credit with change of topic. Prerequisites: Sophomore standing and completion of NSP Skills Courses.
