Description: In the heart of downtown Lincoln, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is also at the heart of higher education in Nebraska. It’s the NU system’s flagship campus, and it’s also home to the University of Nebraska press, the Sheldon Museum of Art, and the majority of the state’s college students. UNL established the world’s first undergraduate psychology laboratory. It was the first institution west of the Mississippi to award doctoral degrees—the first in 1896 in physics. Ecology as a course of study began at UNL.Today, UNL is one of the nation’s leading teaching institutions, and is a leader in research, with grant-funded projects in the sciences and humanities. Prairie Schooner literary magazine comes out of the University of Nebraska Press, and Sheldon is home to one of the world’s most significant collections of 20th century American art.In 2010, UNL became part of the Big Ten Conference, which raises the school academically—the Big Ten Conference is recognized for world-class academic institutions—and athletically, as the Nebraska Cornhuskers will now play a slew of new competition.UNL offers more than 150 undergraduate majors and close to 300 graduate programs; more than 400 student organizations make campus life broad and active for students no matter their interest.
