Overview

Midland University is a Lutheran-heritage university in Fremont, Nebraska, with an Omaha-area location that supports internship access beyond the campus itself. It enrolls an unusually large share of its students as varsity or club athletes.

Academics

Business, education, and health-related fields are Midland's central academic programs, taught in small classes typical of the university's size.

Campus & student life

Athletics participation is a defining feature of Midland's campus culture — the university fields an unusually wide roster of varsity and club sports relative to its enrollment, and a large portion of the student body competes in one. Fremont's proximity to Omaha gives students access to a larger city's internship and social opportunities without the campus itself being urban.

Getting in

Midland's admissions process is access-oriented, and athletic recruitment across its wide sports offering is a major channel for enrollment.

Worth knowing

The scale of athletic participation here is unusual — prospective students should know that campus culture is heavily shaped by the sports program's breadth, not just its academic offerings.
