Ready to be a Warrior?

About Midland Founded in 1883, Midland University offers relevant opportunities in more than 30 undergraduate academic areas, in 24 online graduate and doctoral programs, and a wide range of professional studies programs at both our Fremont and Omaha locations. Midland sits in the heart of Fremont, Nebraska — just close enough to Omaha for bigger city vibes, but rooted in a town that feels like home. With a campus alive with energy, a tradition of excellence, and a future-focused mindset, Midland blends the best of both worlds: the comfort of a close-knit community and the reality of a university overflowing with excellence. It’s a place you will call home, even if you’re miles away. This is Midland.

Mission At Midland University, we inspire students to learn, serve, and lead in the world with purpose.

Values Faith | Quality | Respect | Stewardship | Learning

Our Home

The Midland University Student Ambassadors welcome you to Warrior Nation.

Fremont is located in Eastern Nebraska and lies in the valley between the Platte and Elkhorn Rivers. Recreational opportunities and community amenities make Fremont an excellent location for students to enjoy the quality of life unique to Nebraska.

It is our role to be your advocate and campus expert as you explore all that Midland has to offer. There are a lot of decisions ahead of you. Are you looking for a smaller school or a big campus? Should you stay in-state or go out-of-state? How involved should you get? What academic courses catch your eye? Visiting campus is the best way to experience the culture of every college that interests you and helps bring clarity to the questions listed above – straight from current students living the Midland experience. We can’t wait to meet you on your campus visit. Whether it is your very first campus visit or you’ve lost count, we want to make sure that when you’re done hanging out with us, you truly know all that you are capable of and what a partnership with a school like Midland can help you become. We promise to keep it real with you every step of the way. Let’s do this.

Activity abounds as the community is home to the Fremont State Lakes, a state park with 20 lakes. The Fremont Family YMCA is the largest in the country, offering an Olympic-size swimming pool and aquatic center. Fremont is also a shopper’s delight, brimming with wonderful antique stores, boutiques, and a historic downtown district. A movie theater, minutes from campus, gives students a place to unwind, and there are an abundance of restaurants and coffee shops that will cater to everyone’s culinary tastes. Fremont is just 20 minutes from Omaha, where all the amenities of a major city are available.
