Nebraska Wesleyan University is proud to be Nebraska’s only NCAA Division III institution. Being a D-III school means we seek the right balance of academics, athletics and campus engagement for the students we serve.

It takes courage—and a dynamic education—to do that well. Nebraska Wesleyan’s new Phillip S. Mullin Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program gives students the preparation they need to transform industries and launch effective startups.
