Frequently asked questions

Why did we start Newstate University?

🎓 Empowering You for the Future—Newstate University

We founded Newstate University because we saw people struggling, being pushed out of the middle class, and at risk of job loss due to AI. 💡 It was clear—people needed a better way forward.

That’s why we created a transformative education model—one that equips you with high-value skills to secure great jobs and build strong communities. 🔥

To thrive in today’s workforce, you need the right skills, the right certificates, and degrees that truly matter—not outdated credentials that don’t translate into real opportunity.

Because you deserve skills. Not debt.

Confidence in Your Degree—Built for the Future!

We just launched in 2025, and as you may know, quality processes take time. But that doesn’t mean your degree is any less valuable! Here’s how we protect you and ensure academic excellence:

Articulation – We partner with high-quality, accredited universities, so you can transfer your credits seamlessly.

Confidence in Leadership – With over 100 years of combined experience in higher education, our founders know how to deliver quality. We and our faculty hold PhDs, MBAs, MAs MFAs, JDs, and all the credentials that back our commitment to excellence.

New is a feature, not a bug – Our curriculum is built for today, not years ago. Traditional college often fails to serve the middle class, but we’re rebuilding it—better, faster, stronger.
