| Mission (as provided by the school) | |
Chartered in 1869, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in one institution combines the state's land-grant and state university (member of Association of American Universities). In the university's early days, renowned educator and administrator Charles Bessey wrote the language for the Hatch Act which on a national scale helped define land-grant and extension services missions, and firmly placed Nebraska among universities whose mission is to do 'practical' research and outreach. But Nebraska also maintains a solid mission for teaching and for research in the arts and sciences, pointing us toward the traditional AAU philosophy. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is the state's comprehensive research university. |
