Centers and Institutes

Multi-disciplinary and intercampus organizational entities have become increasingly important for pursuit of the University of Nebraska Omaha's (UNO) mission.

Such multi-departmental organizational entities may organize faculty and programs for numerous purposes, including:

• Creation of partnerships with external organizations

• Enhanced university research and outreach programs

• Development of new funding patterns

• Addressing emerging disciplinary educational needs

• Other emerging problems and issues

Organizational entities of this type are encouraged since they support important university goals. They may be called “Centers,” “Bureaus,” or “Institutes,” or designations other than colleges or schools.
