Over the past 40 years, UNO's international student population has grown to more than 1,700, representing 131 countries. These students from around the world add to the diversity of thought and cultural perspectives on UNO's campus, creating opportunities for meaningful international exchanges right here in Omaha. A young man from Saudi Arabia debates international policy with a sophomore from Wahoo, Nebraska; an aspiring entrepreneur from Japan meets executives at an Omaha-based Fortune 500 firm – these global exchanges change lives and, in turn, the world.
