About

The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) is a dynamic metropolitan research institution renowned for nationally ranked programs in public affairs, criminology and criminal justice, and information science and technology housed in the state-of-the-art Peter Kiewit Institute. Spread across its interconnected Dodge and Scott campuses, student life balances an engaged commuter-and-residential culture with spirited NCAA Division I athletics, most notably Maverick hockey at Baxter Arena. UNO distinguishes itself through deep civic integration within Nebraska’s largest city, giving students unprecedented access to internships, clinical placements, and research partnerships across Omaha’s Fortune 500 companies and non-profit sectors.

Wikipedia:The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) is a public research university in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. Founded in 1908 by faculty from the Omaha Presbyterian Theological Seminary as a private non-sectarian college, the university was originally known as the University of Omaha. Originally meant to provide a Christian-based education free from ecclesiastical control, the university served as a strong alternative to the city's many successful religiously-affiliated institutions.
