That’s why our programs are designed to provide an incredibly flexible path to earning your degree—without demanding that you put your life on hold. Most of our students come to us with credits from other institutions, wanting to finish what they started before life threw them curveballs, seeking an option that can adapt to their unique schedules and commitments. A Newlane degree isn’t just about checking a box; it’s about providing the flexibility and quality needed to help you achieve the dreams you’ve been working toward.
Here are just a few examples of how our students have completed their journeys with Newlane, advancing their educational and career goals along the way:

This achievement launched her into a Master’s program in Systematic and Philosophical Theology at Nottingham University, which she completed in 2022.
