Beyond the classroom
Our students come here to do more than learn—our students come here to experience. Each of our programs offers a huge array of opportunities for students to engage their creativity in the real world and help them come into their own as artistic professionals.
Create, design, experiment, listen, network, travel, showcase, sell, intern, launch your career and chase your dreams. At Nebraska, you can experience it all.
