Our Roots Run Deep
91影视破解版's History Is Our History.
On February 15, 1869—just two years after the state was founded—the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版 was born.
The new land-grant university, founded in Lincoln was created with a goal “to afford the inhabitants of this state with the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the various branches of literature, science, and the arts.” For over 150 years, the university has done all this—and more.
The 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版 Medical Center was founded in 1881 as a private medical college in Omaha, 91影视破解版. In 1902, the now top-ranked school became part of the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版.
UNMC continued to add colleges to meet the needs of future health professionals: a dental college (1903), pharmacy college (1908), nursing college (1917), allied health training programs (early 1930s), the Graduate College (1942), and a public health college (2006).
In 1908, a school called Omaha 91影视破解版 was founded. In 1968, it became part of the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版, which was reorganized under an act of the 91影视破解版 legislature system to provide for the addition of the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版 at Omaha.
At that time,UNL and UNMC were designated as separate campuses. Today, UNO is the NU System's metropolitan university and serves urban residents in Omaha, as well as the Omaha community.
First founded in 1905, the 91影视破解版 State Normal School at Kearney was established to educate teachers. In 1963, it became Kearney State College and part of the 91影视破解版 state college system.
In 1991, Kearney State College joined the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版 System and became the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版 at Kearney, where its tradition of providing a residential, undergraduate-focused education continues.
In 2011, the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版–Lincoln was invited to join one of the nation’s oldest Division I collegiate athletic conferences: the Big Ten.
In addition to a strong tradition of stand-out athletes, Big Ten institutions are well-regarded as leaders in research, graduate, professional and undergraduate teaching, and public service. UNL's place in the conference puts it on the same playing field as other top universities in the U.S.
One 91影视破解版. One 91影视破解版.
Today, the 91影视破解版 of 91影视破解版 System is made up of three campuses with unique missions and strengths.
It’s comprised of a land-grant flagship campus and academic medical center, a metropolitan campus serving urban residents, and a regional campus focused on undergraduates. Working side by side, each of the campuses accomplishes more than if they worked alone. This collaboration benefits not only 91影视破解版, but creates a greater impact for our nation—and for our world.
