Description

Newbury College in Brookline, Massachusetts, is a small, four-year New England College where students get both a practical career education and a liberal arts education. Classes are small and there are numerous opportunities for getting to know fellow students through Newbury’s clubs and activities.

Bachelor’s degrees at Newbury are focused on professional areas within different disciplines. Some majors include:

  • Business Management
  • Communications
  • Criminal Justice
  • Culinary Arts
  • Hotel and Restaurant Management
  • Interior Design

Newbury is also a great believer in a liberal arts education. Thus, students also take a spectrum of courses within the arts, sciences and humanities.

A requirement for graduation from Newbury is an internship in one’s area of study. This gives Newbury students the experience in and exposure to their future profession as well as the chance to network.

A tightly knit, small student body means that students get a chance to know one another. One way of doing this is through Newbury’s student clubs and campus activities.

Newbury is located just outside of Boston, so students are also within a short distance of the entertainment, shopping and cultural events of the city.

Admissions are fairly generous, as Newbury accepts approximately 60% of applicants each year. Prospective students must fill out an online or paper application and submit a writing sample, two letters of recommendation and transcripts. SAT or ACT scores are optional.

Federal financial aid is awarded based on financial need. Federal aid awards include Pell grants, supplemental education grants, loans and work-study. Newbury also awards its own grants and scholarships, many of which cover a large portion of the tuition. Most scholarships require a history of academic merit, or at least a minimum grade point average, in order to qualify.
