UNIVERSITY OF REDLANDS
The University of Redlands is a private, independent liberal arts university committed to providing a personalized education and to preparing students for a life of personal and professional growth and service to the community. The University provides a welcoming environment where access and opportunity come together to equip individuals to build a better future for themselves and those around them.
Academics
The University of Redlands is an independent, nonprofit liberal arts and sciences university of 3,500 students. Approximately 2,000 of these students are enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences, with approximately 70% residing in on-campus housing. The remainder of the student body is enrolled in the University’s programs for graduate and professional students in business, education, or theology, attending classes on campus, online, or at locations throughout Southern California or Marin. The University is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is governed by a Board of Trustees. It is one of 283 colleges and universities in the country to have an active chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
The University defines itself as a community of scholars and encourages a value-centered education by challenging assumptions and stressing ethical concerns in both classes and activities. A commitment to liberal arts and sciences education forms the foundation of the University’s programs. Skills and values developed in this context not only support specific disciplines but also promote professional development and career education, as well as personal growth. In seeking to develop responsible citizenship as part of a complete education, faculty members and other personnel strive to provide students with a variety of opportunities for learning through excellent teaching and individualized personal interaction beyond the classroom. Intense intellectual activity is complemented by immersive and experiential learning, as well as time for quiet reflection, programs for cultural enrichment, community involvement, recreation, and social life. The University’s full-time faculty consists of 204 teaching faculty, librarians, and coaches. Ninety-one percent of the teaching faculty hold a Ph.D. or other terminal degree.
The College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences, referred to as CAS, offers undergraduate majors and minors in more than 40 departments and programs grounded in the liberal arts. A smaller number of graduate programs is offered at the master’s level in Communication Science and Disorders (CDIS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Public Policy and Administration, and the Conservatory of Music. Numerous opportunities exist for students to take advantage of special interdisciplinary courses on campus and approved off-campus study programs throughout the world. The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences is both talented and dedicated to the learning process. Classes generally are small, and individual attention to students is a hallmark of a Redlands education. In addition to their work with students in regular classes, faculty members mentor students in many ways, from First-Year Seminars (where faculty members serve as academic advisors as well as teachers of first-year students) to guiding students in selecting, planning, and completing majors. Faculty members work closely with students in such areas as individualized studies, fieldwork, community service learning, summer research projects, May Term travel courses, internships, senior projects, and advising for postgraduate education and careers. Students in the College of Arts and Sciences may enroll in almost any course (assuming they satisfy prerequisites) regardless of major and are encouraged both to study in-depth in a major and to explore the range of ways of knowing and creating through the Liberal Arts Inquiry and additional elective courses. The College of Arts and Sciences’ Johnston Center for Integrative Studies allows students to design their own education in consultation with faculty advisors. Students write contracts for their courses and receive narrative evaluations in lieu of traditional grades. Johnston has received national acclaim for its innovative approaches to education and a robust living learning community.
The School of Education
Founded in 1924, the School of Education has prepared leaders in California public and private education for nearly a century. Teachers, counselors, and administrators have selected Redlands for its long tradition of academic excellence, personalized approach to instruction, innovative programs, and focus on educational justice. The School offers multiple and single subject teacher credential programs to University undergraduate students and to applicants who have earned their baccalaureate degrees. In addition, the School of Education offers an Education Specialist credential with an emphasis in mild/moderate disabilities. Nine master’s programs are offered: clinical mental health counseling, educational administration, school counseling, curriculum and instruction, learning and teaching, higher education, human services, leadership for social justice, curriculum and instructional design. The School offers four programs online: the MA in teaching and learning, human services, leadership for social justice, curriculum and instructional design. For those holding master’s degrees, the pupil personnel services and both preliminary and professional-level administrative services credentials are offered as credential only programs. Intern credentials are available to students who receive contract offers from districts while still enrolled in their degree programs. Students also may pursue the Doctorate in Leadership for Educational Justice (Ed.D.). All credentials are accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The teacher credentials are aligned with the SB2042 standards, and service credentials meet current state standards. Students receive personal attention from an outstanding full-time faculty, seasoned adjunct practitioners, and experienced field supervisors. The curriculum purposefully blends theory and application, integrating professional development, personal reflection, and principles of educational justice into each of its programs of study. The School of Education also features the Center for Educational Justice, which sponsors institutes, symposia, workshops, and other educational efforts related to social advocacy, research, and policy development.
The School of Business & Society
In 1976, the University founded the Alfred North Whitehead College for Lifelong Learning, dedicated to providing high quality education for adult students who are employed and wish to undertake advanced undergraduate or graduate study. Recognizing the evolution of its adult business programs, the University formally launched the School of Business & Society in the Fall of 2001. The School now has 40 years of experience in delivering business programs to working professionals. Its mission is to train the business leaders of tomorrow in 21st century business skills, including critical thinking and analysis skills, persuasive communication abilities, firm business ethics and functional business skills.

Classes are taught online and on the main campus. In addition, the School of Continuing Studies offers customized certificate programs, workshops, and courses for individual businesses and organizations based on their specific requirements and tailored to their organizational needs.
The Graduate School of Theology
San Francisco Theological Seminary (SFTS) at the University of Redlands Graduate School of Theology (GST) prepares students for deep theological engagement, transformational impact, and active leadership in public life. The core values of social justice, spirituality, and innovation nurture more equitable and inclusive ministries to create more loving engagement with the world.
Presbyterian since its founding in 1871, GST/SFTS continues to lead theological graduate studies as the only Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA) seminary in the west. The ecumenical nature of the Presbyterian Church welcomes all Christian faiths for study. GST/SFTS is a founding member of the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in Berkeley, CA—the largest consortium of interreligious graduate study in North America.
GST/SFTS offers Master’s and Doctoral degrees, along with diplomas and certificates. Students take classes at all the GTU seminaries, as well as the GTU’s centers and affiliates for the study of Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and other world religions. An additional benefit of GST/SFTS includes access to other premier higher education institutions throughout the Bay Area, including the University of California at Berkeley. GST/SFTS is grounded in Reformed traditions and fosters faith-filled engagement in public life and service to others. As part of this, the University of Redlands is proud to offer its first theological school to the communities of Redlands, Northern California, and abroad.
Student Life
For undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences, student life includes over 120 clubs and organizations and 21 NCAA Division III athletic teams (11 women’s, 10 men’s), which compete in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). On average, 25 to 28% of incoming students each year are “Bulldog” scholar-athletes, eager to engage in the classroom and the field of play. Outdoor programs and travel adventures are bountiful before and during the school year. Art and culture flourish at Redlands with many opportunities for students to participate in theatre productions, art shows, and musical performances. Redlands has a vibrant fraternity and sorority community, in which students are encouraged to develop their academic, social, and leadership skills and to make community service contributions. All fraternities and sororities are Redlands-developed, with no national affiliation.
Recently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as the fifth best regional university in the West and tenth for undergraduate teaching, the University of Redlands has also been recognized in the top six percent of master’s universities by Washington Monthly. Highlighted by Colleges of Distinction for providing a personalized education with strong engagement, teaching, community, and outcomes, the University is featured in the popular Fiske Guide to Colleges and The Princeton Review. With an award-winning residential campus boasting over 1,700 trees, the Arbor Day Foundation has recognized University of Redlands as a Tree Campus every year since 2009.
Known for having the highest study abroad participation rates among its peers, Redlands’ students travel the world, choosing from more than 80 international programs, including the renowned Salzburg semester (a 60+-year program site), which invites students to immerse themselves in the living-learning community while actively participating in the local culture. The U.S. Department of State has designated Redlands as a top producer of Fulbright students, awarding 27 Fulbright scholarships since 2008.
University of Redlands emphasizes community impact, and its community service-learning program has received national acclaim as students annually complete over 120,000 hours of public service worldwide. Redlands was one of the first non-sectarian universities in California to require service for graduation, holds the Carnegie Civic Engagement classification, and is a Peace Corps Top 10 volunteer-producing institution.
Inclusiveness and Community
Diversity is valued at Redlands, because the community believes in the ability to appreciate differences and find common ground will make the community stronger. Its nationally recognized programs challenge students to put themselves in other people's shoes and see issues from a new perspective. The Office of Campus Diversity and Inclusion works collaboratively with many individuals, departments, and offices to create a University where diversity, equity, and inclusion is welcomed and celebrated, including the Multicultural Center, Pride Center, Women’s Center, International Student Services, and Summer Bridge for first-generation students. In 2020, the University recommitted to the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion and a multi-part plan of action is well underway. Important steps have been the appointment of the University’s first senior diversity and inclusion officer and the adoption of a University-wide statement against racism, endorsed by faculty, administration, and trustees and the development by President Newkirk of a anti-racism committee charged to address areas as recommended by the Anti-Racism Framework developed by the NADOHE. In addition, the University was recently designated a Hispanic Serving Institution. Finally, a University-wide Council on Inclusiveness & Community was created in 2016 to provide a forum for dialog and positive change and the Board of Trustees established a Board standing committee on Diversity and Inclusion in 2022. The Council's job is to address issues of concern related to diversity and to make recommendations to the President and the President’s Cabinet.
Academic Success and Accessibility (ASA) helps College of Arts and Sciences students by offering tutoring, writing assistance, peer mentoring, and academic success workshops, as well as support for students with disabilities. The School of Business & Society, School of Education, and Graduate School of Theology also have separate Offices of Student Success, and a formal Mentorship Program assists School of Business & Society students in their professional development. The Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD) prepares both undergraduate and graduate students from across the University for success, hosting a variety of events and supporting students as they chart their paths. Due to the small classes, residential environment, and opportunities outside the classroom, the connections students make with professors, peers, and mentors form academic and professional networks that serve them for a lifetime.
Leadership ~ President Krista L. Newkirk, J.D.
Krista L. Newkirk became the University of Redlands’ 12th President in July 2021. Since coming to Redlands, she has been highly engaged, connecting with a wide range of constituents by meeting with and listening to faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of the University.
Upon her arrival to Redlands, Newkirk prioritized and led the charge to create a safe environment for the University’s return to in-person activities, oversaw the launch of the School of Business & Society, implemented, and expanded the Redlands Promise marketing plan, initiated a collaborative strategic planning process, completed the University’s comprehensive Forever Yours fundraising campaign which raised a record-breaking $207.2 million, and led the process of restructuring University debt to allow for the substantial renovation of campus facilities.
Newkirk spent her formative years on a cattle ranch in Missouri before attending the University of Missouri’s Honor College on scholarship. She transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English. She earned her Juris Doctor degree from the Marshall Wythe School of Law at the College of William & Mary, where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the William & Mary Journal of Women and the Law. During her time in law school, she served as an intern at the Newport News Commonwealth Attorney’s Office. She worked with victims and witnesses, negotiated outcomes for the Domestic Violence Unit, and prosecuted cases. She worked for several years as an attorney in private practice and at a Fortune 300 company.
Newkirk joined the Office of Legal Affairs at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2003. In that role, she provided legal advice to the Chancellor, the Board of Trustees, and faculty and staff on various legal topics and complex litigation. During this time, she was selected by her peers as a Legal Elite in the corporate counsel category by Business North Carolina in 2010, was a graduate of Leadership North Carolina’s Class XIX in 2021, and served on numerous boards, including as Chair of the Education Section of the North Carolina Bar Association, the Institute for Social Capital which she helped to establish, and the Women + Girls Research Alliance.
In 2012, Newkirk became the first Chief of Staff at UNC Charlotte. As Chief of Staff, she assisted the Chancellor in addressing the significant issues confronting the University, managed large-scale projects that crossed divisions, organized the start of the University’s football program and, aided in the related conference change, provided coordination for the achievement of strategic goals and initiatives, oversaw the strategic plan development and execution, ensuring that analyses were completed to facilitate timely and effective decisions, developed the agendas of the Board of Trustees, and reviewed the annual budget allocations.
Newkirk assumed the presidency of Converse College in 2016. Under her leadership, Converse enhanced its financial, academic, and cultural strength. Her accomplishments spanned developing an innovative strategic plan; launching its first doctoral degree program; expanding its master’s degree offerings; opening an extension campus; celebrating the 50th anniversary of Converse’s enrollment of African American students; establishing a campus Unity in Diversity Committee, which developed a targeted strategic plan and implemented a restorative justice model for incidents of discrimination; expanding athletics to include teams for field hockey, acrobatics, and tumbling and five new men’s programs as well as esports; and reaching record levels of annual fund giving and other fundraising. In addition, Newkirk led Converse through a thoughtful, research-driven, and collaborative process that resulted in one of its most transformative decisions: to add a coeducational, residential college in the fall of 2020, to change its name to Converse University on July 1, 2021, and establish the Converse College for Women.
During her time in South Carolina, Newkirk was a member of the South Carolina Tuition and Grants Commission (which she chaired), the South Carolina Research Alliance Board, and the South Carolina Independent College and University Board, including chairing its President’s Council. She also served on the advisory Board and task groups for the Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce (OneSpartanburg), the Spartanburg Academic Movement Board, the College Town Board, the Globalbike Board, and was a Spartanburg Rotarian.
In 2020, Newkirk was honored as one of the 50 Most Influential People and one of the 25 Women of Influence in the Upstate of South Carolina and was named a Woman of Achievement by the Spartanburg Herald-Journal in 2018. Newkirk currently serves on the Executive Committee of the AICCU, the Tax Policy Committee of NAICU, serves on the Board of Redlands Bowl, and is a Redlands Rotarian.
Strategic Plan
For the past year, Redlands has been working to map out a visionary framework for creating the University of Redlandsʼ next strategic plan. The framework was informed by President Newkirk’s meetings with faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni, donors, and Board of Trustees to understand the best of what the University of Redlands offers and the community’s vision for a transformative future. After a collaborative development process, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to approve the University’s revised Mission Statement, Vision 2032, the University’s Values, and the Goals and Objectives that will guide our path to Vision 2032.

LOCATION
The University’s campuses include an award-winning 160-acre main campus in Redlands featuring orange groves, architectural landmarks, and more than 1,700 trees; a wooded 14-acre campus in Marin County; and six other regional locations across Southern California that provide innovative programs for working professionals. In all, the main campus has 64 facilities, including 27 residence halls, housing a majority of the University’s undergraduates. The Administration Building is the most iconic building, erected in 1909 with identical façades on the north and south and four pillars gracing each colonnade in a Greek Revival Beaux-Arts architectural style. The Memorial Chapel was built in 1927 and offers a venue for large University and public events. The Stauffer Complex for Science and Environmental Studies provides a four-building complex of classrooms, laboratories, and faculty offices. The Center for the Arts—a 42,000-square-foot space for art, art history, and theatre—is the first Gold LEED Certified Building on campus, as well as the first in the City of Redlands.
The 160-acre Redlands campus is located on Serrano and Cahuilla Native American lands, halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs and at the base of beautiful Southern California mountains in the city of Redlands. Redlands, named a “Great So Cal College Town” by AAA Westways magazine, is known for its historic homes, beautiful parks, and America’s longest continuously running summer music festival with no admission charge. Among the City’s other fun events is the Redlands Bicycle Classic, the longest continuous running invitational, professional stage race in America, bringing hundreds of racers and spectators to the region every year. The City of Redlands is part of San Bernardino County—the largest geographic county in the U.S. and one of the most diverse—located in California’s Inland Empire, one of the fastest-growing population centers in the U.S., consisting of over 27,000 square miles with nearly five million residents. The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority plans to introduce North America’s first zero-emission, hydrogen-powered train as part of the Redlands passenger rail line, and in October 2022 a commuter rail connecting downtown Los Angeles to the Redlands campus began service, opening myriad possibilities for expanding the University’s educational and co-curricular initiatives.
Nearby Ontario International Airport is the fastest-growing airport in the U.S. and the No. 1 airport for outgoing cargo. Loma Linda University, a global leader in healthcare, completed a $1 billion expansion in the Inland Empire in 2021, and the University of Redlands benefits enormously from its close ties to nonprofit organizations and local businesses, including Esri, the largest geographic information systems mapping software company in the world. In addition to the campus in Marin, the University offers classes— largely in business, education, and continuing studies and for working adults—in strategically placed cities around Southern California: Burbank, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, San Diego, and Temecula.
