History
Newman was established by the Adorers of the Blood of Christ. The sisters first opened a girls school in Wichita in 1902, and a women's junior college in 1932 operating as Sacred Heart College. The school reorganized into a four year liberal arts college in 1958, and became coeducational in 1965. The name was changed to Kansas Newman College in 1973, and to Newman University in 1998.
The university is named after Cardinal John Henry Newman.
