Our Colleges & Academic Priorities

 

UNO Awarded Carnegie Classification

In 2015, the Carnegie Foundation named the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) as one of the nation’s leaders in engagement and outreach with a Community Engagement Classification.

As one of just 74 institutions named to the elective classification when it launched in 2006, UNO is now one of 361 institutions nationwide, and just three Nebraska universities or colleges, to be recognized.

The Carnegie Foundation's Classification for Community Engagement is an elective classification; it is based on voluntary participation by institutions, and is an evidence-based documentation of institutional practice that is used in a process of self-assessment and quality improvement.
