NewU University.[1][2] is a private not-for-profit university in Washington, D.C. The university, founded by Stratsi Kulinski.[3], is licensed by the Washington D.C. Higher Education Licensure Commission.[4] NewU offers three years[5] bachelor's degrees in Psychology & Human Behavior, Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Innovation Leadership, Sustainability & Climate Change, and Computer & Data Science[6]. The university welcomed its first freshmen class in Fall 2022[7], the first class is due to graduate in May 2024[8]

Name Controversy[edit]

In May 2023, an unrelated institution, the University of Idaho[9] created an entity to purchase the University of Phoenix[10] and named the entity "NewU, Inc."[11] NewU University reacted with a claim for trademark infringement of its registered trademark "NewU Inc."[12] This led to the change of the name of the newly formed entity[13], but the matter of monetary damages or inter-institutional collaboration is still open[14]. The naming issue brought into question the whole purchase[15] of University of Phoenix for $550 million.
