Founded in 1883, Midland University is a liberal arts college providing relevant opportunities in more than 30 academic areas, 16 graduate programs, and a variety of professional studies programs to students at both their Fremont and Omaha locations. Recognized by the Chronicle of Higher Education as the 9th fastest-growing private, nonprofit baccalaureate institution in the country, Midland takes a modern approach to liberal arts education. Our innovative approach of working from the marketplace back provides students with the relevant skills to lead in the world with purpose.


Midland University’s Growing Fremont Campus

Midland University is one of Nebraska’s fastest-growing colleges. With Nebraska’s largest athletic department, hundreds of opportunities in the performing arts, and a cozy campus where you can learn and live, it’s no wonder more students are calling Midland home than ever. 


Midland University’s Omaha Location

With a need for skills and talent to meet and serve the community, Midland opened its doors in Omaha in the spring of 2017 to provide adult learners and non-traditional students access to our many programs.

In the fall of the same year, Midland Omaha was officially established as the Center for Graduate and Professional Studies. In partnership with local businesses and nonprofit organizations, Midland has been operating and providing a relentlessly relevant graduate and professional experience for its students.

Core Institutional Values

Midland University is a liberal arts college affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We hold the following core values to be the foundation of our identity as a community.

  • Faith – We believe as a college of the Lutheran tradition that faith and learning are inexorably linked. We believe that the exploration of faith and religion is an essential human endeavor.
  • Quality – We believe in upholding exacting standards of quality and accountability. We believe in a learning experience where excellence in all things is valued and expected by all our constituents – our faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees, and friends.
  • Respect – We believe in the sanctity of the individual in a mutually supportive community of a small college. Therefore, we believe in a focus on each person as an individual with inherent worth.
  • Stewardship – We believe we are called to educate morally and ethically responsible citizens of a pluralistic society. In this endeavor, we are guided by the ideas of service, integrity, and mutual respect.
  • Learning – We believe that learning is best based on open inquiry and the liberal arts. We believe that an appreciation of the empirical, theoretical, and aesthetic forms of knowledge is critical to the development of citizens who can respond to an ever-changing world.
