Experience Community, Not Cutthroat

Most business schools are ruthlessly competitive, but at Nebraska, the only competition that matters is you versus you. Our industry-leading faculty and programs will challenge you to become the best at what you want to do. You’ll find professors who care about you, peers you can rely on, and people you can work with to create great things – before you even graduate. Best of all, you can make friends and prepare for your future career at the same time.
