These include enrollment fluctuations, growing competition, and accreditation pressures. Variations in overall university enrollments naturally cause the College's enrollments to fluctuate. Also, as the demand for professional business and technical education changes, enrollment in the College responds accordingly. These factors complicate program planning and resource allocation. Moreover, competition to recruit students is keen among business schools in Nebraska.
Students have a variety of options.
There are many business programs in the state's colleges and universities. Major business schools are located in eastern Nebraska, at UNO, UNL, and Creighton University. Community colleges and regional private institutions are also active in the field. Nontraditional programs offered by the small private institutions create another competitive factor with offerings that range from degree-completion programs to executive MBA programs. Enhanced technological delivery techniques will intensify this competition.
