University of Nebraska System

The University of Nebraska System, established in 1869 and headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, is the state’s only public university system. It comprises four distinct campuses—University of Nebraska–Lincoln, University of Nebraska at Omaha, University of Nebraska at Kearney, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center—serving nearly 50,000 students. For farmers, the system plays a vital role through its land-grant mission, offering agricultural research, extension services, and education via the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture and the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute. These initiatives support innovation in crop production, water conservation, and rural development across North America.
