Students and parents who come to our campus never fail to remark
upon the
completely different atmosphere in New Era College compared to
other private universities or colleges in Malaysia." There's
no odour of commercialism!"
This is not surprising since New Era College is wholly supported
by the entire
Chinese community of Malaysia as a non-profit making tertiary-level
educational
institution. Its vision is "to develop the college into
one of the finest community-run
tertiary institutions in the world.' This is not far-fetched
since the Malaysian Chinese
school system with 1283 primary schools and 60 Independent Secondary
Schools is
one of its kind in the world. New Era College happens to be its
tertiary-level
extension.
Our mission is "to nurture holistic,
cultured, competent professionals who lead socially responsible
fives.' The dynamic educational and cultural environment in the
College has been inspired by the visionary leaders of the Malaysian
Chinese education movement. Our administrative and academic staff
strive to uphold that
vision by not compromising on excellence and quality.
New Era has been mainly a teaching college
up to now but we have established a research unit to encourage
our academic community to do research work in the
respective fields.
We positively encourage student activism and
leadership. There is an exciting environment for student activities
especially with the completion of our brand-new Academic Block
and Hostel Block with their modern facilities. The new era promises
to be one which will see the flowering of the performing arts.
We also provide excellent support services such as counseling,
safe and comfortable hostel accommodation.
