At Newstate University, we believe you shouldn’t have to pay to learn what you already know. Our disruptive approach to Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) and Competency-Based Education (CBE) ensures that your professional certifications and real-world experience have a direct seat at the table.
Whether you are a certified ScrumMaster, an AWS Cloud practitioner, or a HubSpot marketing expert, your skills are currency. We map your proven mastery directly to our curriculum, allowing you to bypass redundant coursework and focus on the future-forward skills that matter.
The traditional 120-credit degree is a relic of the past. Newstate University offers a 93-credit Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS), specifically designed for working adults who need to move fast. By combining transfer credits with CPL, you can graduate sooner and without the burden of unnecessary debt.
We don't just look at course titles; we look at mastery. Our curriculum is built in collaboration with industry leaders to ensure you are ready for the labor market.
Step into leadership with our accelerated 3+1 Pathway. Complete your BAS and your Master of Business Administration in AI (MBAi) in a streamlined format where graduate-level courses count toward both degrees.
