NewU University granted Candidate status by MSCHE

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, March 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Earlier this month, NewU University was granted Candidate for Accreditation status by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) - a major milestone in the college's evolution.

This recognition affirms NewU as a trailblazer in the design and delivery of a high-quality, shorter, affordable, career-ready, and innovative higher education model. NewU students earn a 3-year Bachelor’s degree on campus with no summer semesters, no extra courses per semester, and no per-credit tuition charges while getting the full 120 credits - truly saving students and parents a year of time and money.

“Achieving Candidate for Accreditation status is a rigorous, multi-step process requiring compliance with MSCHE’s accreditation standards and federal regulations. It is a significant step forward for NewU and a testament to our commitment to transforming higher education in better service to society,” said Stratsi Kulinski, President and founder of NewU University. “We designed NewU to provide a faster, truly affordable path to a degree for those who previously could not afford college. This latest MSCHE action strengthens our position as a pioneer in the design and validation of innovative education. A new, credible model for college is taking shape.”
