Aside from its flagship Quezon City campus, it has four other campuses around the Philippines, including one in San Fernando City, in Lipa City, in General Santos, and in Baras.
Founded on June 17, 1975, it was known as the New Era Educational Institute, and was located along Echague Street, Quiapo, Manila. It initially offered only secondary education but later expanded in 1977 to serve technical and vocational courses under its Center for Livelihood and Skills Training. It also offers graduate programs.
In 1981, it was renamed New Era College after the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports granted collegiate status, and later in June 1995, to its present name, New Era University, when the Commission on Higher Education granted university status.
