Online Learning at NU

The past, present and future of learning is digital education. As higher education has dealt with a pandemic, terms such as online programs, remote coursework and digital learning have become common. Around the world, educators and students have adapted and learned to thrive. 

But at the University of Nebraska System, those terms were already part of our culture, not just part of a shifting learning model. We didn't have to learn how to move from classrooms to computers—we were already doing it.

The University of Nebraska has a long history of providing quality distance education, using the latest technology and most effective methods. We create a seamless, professional experience that provides working adults the flexibility they need—and the quality they expect from a leading university.
