A New Campus & New Building
In the fall of 1936, the Municipal University of Omaha purchased land for a new campus in what was then west Omaha. The 20 acre parcel of land was located on West Dodge Street and on the north side of Elmwood Park. Construction on the Georgian-style building (now Arts & Sciences Hall) was begun in 1937 and the building was dedicated in November, 1938.
100 Years of Excellence in the Liberal Arts
Since established in 1909, the College of Arts and Sciences has grown to be UNO’s largest academic unit, enrolling more than 3,000 majors and providing general education and foundational courses needed by all students. The College is a liberal arts college within a metropolitan university. The College’s three divisions—Humanities, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences—encompass 20 departments and programs that offer more than 30 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
Our College is distinguished by its disciplinary diversity, but such subdivisions do not fragment our mission, which is framed by the goals articulated in the Strategic Plan of the University of Nebraska at Omaha to (1) place students at the center of our academic enterprise, (2) achieve academic excellence, and (3) actively engage our community.
In addition, we are united with other universities in our mission to help students gain essential knowledge and skills that will prepare them for twenty-first century:
To attain knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural world
through the study of sciences and mathematics, social sciences, and humanities
To encounter people and places that are different from those of their home communities
To understand how individuals and communities, both past and present, have confronted and dealt with challenges
To write effective arguments and to read texts critically
To solve ethical problems employing moral reasoning
To comprehend environmental challenges and discover solutions
UNO’s first president wrote in 1909 that the new school was designed “along lines of study required for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees” to prepare well-rounded and informed students. Today, we take pride in our mission to provide a liberal arts and sciences education to all students. This education provides the best preparation for success in life and in a world of increasing diversity and ever-accelerating change.
