School Details
UNO is Nebraska’s metropolitan university — a university with strong academic values and significant relationships with our community that transforms and improves life. In 1908, the University of Omaha was founded as a private, coeducational college by the Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Omaha. Since then, the University of Nebraska Omaha has been firmly anchored in the community, forging partnerships with business, education, government, arts and civic organizations. UNO has long set the pace for accessible higher education in Nebraska and continues to offer an academically rigorous experience to a diverse student body. The university became part of the Nebraska System in 1968.

In addition to these colleges, students can pursue degrees at UN Lincoln from the colleges of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Architecture, and Engineering. Through the department of Online Learning, students can earn undergraduate and graduate degrees, certificates, and endorsements as well. UNO’s mission is to “transform and improve the quality of life locally, nationally, and globally.” UNO’s values are excellence, engagement, inclusion, discovery, integrity, and maverick spirit.
