Overview
The College of Business and Technology at the University of Nebraska at Kearney developed alongside the broader growth of UNK, which traces its roots to 1905 as Nebraska State Normal School before becoming part of the University of Nebraska system in 1991. The college combines business administration, technology, and applied science disciplines into a single unit, reflecting a practical, career-focused philosophy typical of regional public universities in the Midwest. It has built a reputation for producing graduates well-prepared for roles in accounting, management, marketing, information technology, and applied engineering technologies within Nebraska and neighboring states.
