Why study at UNO?
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) is a premier metropolitan university that combines the resources of a doctoral research institution with the opportunities the thriving community of Omaha provides.
With global reach and vision, UNO is large enough to provide opportunities students seek, yet small enough to provide the mentorship they need to achieve academic excellence, creativity, and engaged learning at competitive tuition rates.
