Why UNO ?

The University of Nebraska at Omaha is fueled by its historical
ties to Omaha. As the first municipal university in Omaha, the
early founders’ goal was to make higher education accessible and
affordable for the city’s residents. In 1968, the campus joined the
University of Nebraska system, and today has the unique role of
serving as the state’s metropolitan campus.

Accessibility remains a top priority in UNO’s mission and vision.
Today, the campus is known for its student-centered environment,
its community engagement, and its dedication to embracing students
from all types of backgrounds. UNO’s ranking as the 2020 Best
College for LGBTQ+ Students In Nebraska reflects a commitment to
the Maverick values of access, inclusion and diversity that make
UNO a welcoming campus community, evidenced by the numerous
resources and support services offered by the university.

The campus has built strong partnerships with local business,
education, government, arts, and civic organizations in the city.
UNO’s commitment to community engagement has landed UNO on the
President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for seven
consecutive years-the highest federal recognition a school can
receive for civic engagement.

This honor is but one of many points of pride for UNO . In 2019, it
was ranked in the top ten public institutions in the nation for
military friendliness by Military Times magazine for the fifth
consecutive year. Nearly 90 percent of UNO’s 15,500 students are
from Nebraska, and roughly 60 percent of recent alumni surveyed
report graduating with no debt or less than $5,000 in debt. It is
simply one of the most competitively priced institutions in the
region. UNO, while large enough to provide students with global
opportunities, thrives on its personal and close-knit campus
culture, where students come first and partnerships with the
