About Us
Real-World Experience
The Scholars Academy is a close-knit community of ambitious and high-achieving students who want to challenge themselves while pursuing a degree. Throughout the four years in the program, Scholars are mentored by business professionals in the Omaha community, enroll in special business courses taught by award-winning faculty, and gain real-world experience through community engagement and international travel.
