Nebraska Colleges and Universities


If you're looking for a Midwest college town with a lot of sports spirit, look no further than Nebraska. While Omaha is the largest city in the Cornhusker State, Lincoln--home to the University of Nebraska--is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest, with a vibrant live music scene (home of the Nebraska bluegrass festival), hiking trails, golf courses, and fine dining, from Creole to Greek and continental cuisine. State parks and recreation areas across Nebraska offer students and tourists access to historical Old West museums, waterfalls, and premier fishing spots.

Nebraska is host to more than 40 public and private colleges and universities. In addition to the Lincoln center, the University of Nebraska has campuses and extensions in Kearney and Omaha. Creighton University -- in Omaha -- and Wayne State College are also highly respected schools within the state.
