Newbury College Top Questions

The academics at Newbury College are challenging yet the professors work very hard with every student so that they do the best they can. Class sizes are small so the professors know if their students face, name and if they were in class or not. Many times in class there will be group projects and interactive lectures and discussions.

The academics are good because the professors know you by name and they take the time to help you learn and grow as a student. The academics are good because the professors get to know you and they help you with jobs and internships that they see fit for you.

I am a Corporate Communication and Business Management Major. I'm also in Newbury's Honors Program. So my course load is pretty big. But definitely manageable! Most students take 5 classes a semester (I always take 6). The majority of our professors work in their field currently, so you can trust that you are learning all the latest that your field has to offer from the field itself. My favorite class has to be my honors class because it is geared toward discussion and thinking about the broader image of different concepts and topics. The courses at Newbury are engaging and challenging at times but are never overwhelming in my experience. We also require every major to complete an internship for a grade. So you get to learn the process of getting a job or internship step by step. In a lot of cases, those internships lead to jobs or other opportunities!

All the professors here, whether I have had them or not, know my name and know who I am. I am known as Kylie here and not as a number which is fantastic because its more of a personalized feel! My favorite class that I have had within my 3 years has been between my Human Resource Class and my Organizational Theory and Behavior class. This are my favorite classes because the professors take things from the outside world and their careers and use them as examples to help you understand the materials they are teaching. I am studying Hotel and Restaurant Administration with a Minor in Psychology. Within the Hotel program we learn about hotels, events, resorts and everything that has to do with the hospitality industry. In Psychology we learn everything from what it is exactly to diagnosing patients with what we are currently knowing. Outside of class I love to go and talk to my professors, a lot of my professors I can relate to and have conversations with about not only classes, but about what is going on in my personal life! At Newbury we are required to do an Internship before graduating, Hotel and Restaurant and Culinary are required to do two, my first internship is really helping me prepare for the real world. Having to do an Internship before graduating is great help before moving into the real world, and the professors and staff are excellent is helping and guiding you!

I believe that our academics are really strong here at Newbury which can be contributed to the experienced professors. Since our professors have worked within the field that they teach, you get the full experience, not just a teacher who has a PHD in the subject. Personally in the psychology department, the professors have worked in vast amounts of jobs like working in prisons or counseling. I think that this makes the classes and lessons stronger and more interesting because they put their own experiences into the lesson. Also their teachings can really help you with getting jobs and ready for the real world since we are a career orientated college.
