UNMC College of Allied Health Professions
Preparing the Health Care Workforce of the Future. Like Only Nebraska Can.
The College of Allied Health Professions is known for excellence, innovation and teamwork. As a key provider of allied health professionals in Nebraska, the college is committed to providing accessible, affordable and high-quality allied health education programs that serve students across Nebraska and the country.
Relentless Focus on Student Access and Success
The college is committed to increasing access and decreasing debt for all students pursuing careers in an allied health profession. The college is focused on a holistic admissions initiative, which aims to ensure all students can pursue their academic ambitions, particularly first-generation students and those who are historically underserved.
Enhancing Faculty, Academic and Clinical Excellence
The national shortage of allied health faculty places the College of Allied Health Professions in an increasingly competitive environment for recruiting experienced faculty. Endowed chair positions are powerful tools in recruiting these talented individuals as they allow the flexibility for faculty to pursue additional teaching and research opportunities.
Transformational Research and Innovation
The college is committed to robust research that responds to the changing needs of the community and enhances the learning experiences of students. Private support will provide ongoing and sustainable funding for ambitious and varied initiatives, including startup costs for new educational program development, research equipment and intermittent personnel support.
FOR THE FUTURE WE’LL BUILD

SHARED VISION.

None of these ambitious goals are possible without private support.
A MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP
“If the past is any predictor of the future, it’s likely that over the next 50 years the College of Allied Health Professions will add professions that don’t even exist today. As health care has advanced, our professions and our college have advanced with it. We’ve equipped allied health professionals to improve the health and quality of life in Nebraska, the country and the world for 50 years, and UNMC looks forward to continuing that mission for the next 50.”
