The story

The University of Nebraska system was formed in 1968 from the merger of the University of Nebraska and the University of Omaha. Upon the merger's completion, the system originally included the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, which the University of Nebraska–Lincoln had previously acquired in 1902. The system later added the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 1990, and the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in 1994.
