View model for the Nebraska Innovation Campus
Founded in 1869, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is the state's land-grant university and the only comprehensive university in Nebraska. Through its three primary missions of learning, discovery and engagement, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is the state's intellectual center and has been recognized by the Legislature as the primary research and doctoral-degree granting institution in the state. Nebraska is one of a select group of research universities that holds membership in the Association of American Universities - a distinction granted in 1909. Nebraska was the first university west of the Mississippi to establish a graduate college (in 1896); today, UNL is one of the top 50 American universities in the number of doctoral degrees granted annually. The University of Nebraska boasts 22 Rhodes Scholars and three Nobel laureates among its alumni.
Nebraska's tradition of excellence is demonstrated not only in its classrooms and labs, but also on its fields of play. A member of the Big 12 Conference, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Cornhuskers compete in 22 sports. No school has produced more Academic All-Americans or Football Academic All-Americans than Nebraska.
I invite you to explore the University of Nebraska-Lincoln through our web site and to visit our campuses in Lincoln or our many extension and research centers throughout the state. You will discover that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a great university offering a strong education at a great price. You will find evidence that teaching and learning are top university priorities.
Research is at the core of our teaching excellence and the foundation upon which all our missions rest. The answers to real world problems are coming out of University of Nebraska laboratories and classrooms. By using university research to address the state of Nebraska's unique challenges, UNL is a full partner in the state's vitality.
Nebraska's engagement connects and integrates our learning and discovery missions to make a difference in our state and in the global community.
I'm sure you will agree with me that "There is No Place Like Nebraska."
