  • terrific shopping
  • unique restaurants
  • numerous parks, lakes, and biking trails

Internship and Educational Opportunities
Students at Nebraska Wesleyan enjoy living in a city with a confluence of activities and interests—university life, state government, and excellent business opportunities. University life connects all Lincoln residents with outstanding speakers, research libraries, professional performances, and sporting events. State government in Nebraska allows students interested in politics, civic life, and community action easy access to a unique unicameral system and an array of governmental activities. Lincoln also hosts employers such as Kawasaki, Pfizer, and State Farm Insurance and boasts a nationally-respected hospital system. Students at Nebraska Wesleyan not only take advantage of these business opportunities upon graduation, but they also are consistently selected first for internship opportunities due to our excellent reputation.
