Welcome to our online community at UNO. We are honored to share with you a few of the reasons why students, faculty, and staff continue choosing online at UNO.

Student Perspectives

Online students have the passion and drive to succeed while balancing many other life responsibilities. Meet a few of our exceptional students who have found their "today" at UNO:

Miguel Ortiz
Criminology and Criminal Justice

My today started when I found the support I needed to complete my bachelor’s degree while still balancing other responsibilities. The Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Studies program from the University of Nebraska at Omaha was flexible with my lifestyle as a husband, new father and military service member. I took the program online and the faculty and staff were always there to answer my questions and provide support throughout the entire process. The program was great because it didn’t limit me to one area, I was able to get a really diverse education that has prepared me as I pursue my future goals. I consider my educational experience to be top-notch and am proud to have a degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha.


April Shaw
Library Science

My today started when the University of Nebraska at Omaha went out of their way to make sure that I could use all of my previous credits. As a result, I transferred in as a senior. I have been an avid reader and enthusiastic supporter of libraries since childhood and UNO’s Library Science online program has allowed me to work and go back to school without adding to my already lengthy daily commute in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The program is as varied as the field itself and is empowering creative, intelligent people and giving them the tools to share their knowledge and creativity with their communities. For those who are considering UNO, but are unsure about online, do not be intimidated by the format. I had taken zero online courses in my life before, and it was an easy transition. Even if you are not computer savvy, these professors have your back.


Everett Levison
Master of Arts in Critical and Creative Thinking

My today started when I discovered a program that not only fit into my lifestyle but also offered me the opportunity to have a concentration in my field of interest while still offering an interdisciplinary experience. The Master of Arts in Critical and Creative Thinking program offered by the University of Nebraska at Omaha has enabled me to focus on the environment and health but still draw and conduct research from a broad range of fields. One of the biggest advantages for me has been that I can do all of this while still working and traveling abroad because of the completely online format.
