Wichita, Kansas is home to Newman University. Wichita is a large city. Students select the school partly because it is a Roman Catholic school. Newman University is a private, not-for-profit institution. Degrees at the school go up to the Master's degree.
Students commonly pursue studies in business and management, family and social work, nursing and emergency medicine, and medical assistant and technician.
Prospective students are advised that admissions are not open to all; the school selects from among qualified applicants. Three quarters of students in 2005 had SAT verbal scores of at least 440. Half of math SAT scores of accepted students fell between 430 and 570. Since a large share of students are from out-of-state, you can assume the school has broad appeal.
