The University of Nebraska is a public university system, not a private institution. It is funded by the state of Nebraska and operates multiple campuses, including the flagship University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As a land-grant university, it emphasizes accessibility, research, and service to the community.
Public universities like Nebraska typically offer lower tuition rates for in-state students compared to private universities. The system is governed by a Board of Regents and adheres to state educational policies, further distinguishing it from private institutions that rely on endowments and tuition for funding.
