Explore Our Student's Stories!

The Master of Science in Education programs truly transforms lives to make a positive impact on others. The stories below are only a few of hundreds from our loyal alumni:

"The program changed my life and it all started with the professors. The professors have a genuine passion for education and their profession that carries over to their students -I could sense it in every building and every room. They worked with us and helped in every way for me to succeed. I am proud that I am a Newman Jet!"

- Everardo Flores, MS.Ed., ESOL Curriculum and Instruction

“I loved going to Newman! All my instructors knew me by my name. I have never had any instructor remember my name in other colleges I have previously attended. I was able to apply everything I learned at Newman directly into my classroom. I loved every assignment, there is no such thing as busy work at Newman. I have to say I truly miss having deep classroom conversations with Dr. Burke and Dr. Marx.”

- Liz Cothran, MS.Ed., Building Leadership

"The Organizational Leadership program is innovative and forward thinking. Students are well prepared through the use of leadership coaching, facilitation strategies, and partnership with the Kansas Leadership Center to transform society. This program has helped me become an effective communicator, active listener, and mindful of my impact on others and my environment."

- Megan Rucker, MS.Ed., Organizational Leadership

"This comprehensive program was challenging and personal at the same time, I felt that my professors and department chairperson are committed to facilitating an excellent program that is applicable to a diverse number of fields and organizations. I feel that I am better able to serve my community and organizations with the skills that I have acquired while at Newman."
