Why Doane?

We can’t explain the best reasons to pick Doane in this tiny space. The best come from the heart, from our graduates as they prepare to leave.

Doane was the right place they say, because of the professors who cared, the community who welcomed, the doors Doane opened, the job that awaits, the semester in Spain, the grad school that said yes, the memories and the certainty that no matter where they go, Doane will remain among the best years of their life.
 

Here are a few reasons that drew them to Doane:

Choices

Doane offers 40 majors, seven pre-professional programs, and 24 minors. Students also can join 60+ student clubs and championship-level athletic programs.

Excellence

We consistently place among the top Midwestern schools in nationally respected rankings. Our 12-to-1 student/faculty ratio allows for classrooms that are interactive, engaging and challenging. Our Hansen Leadership Program, research achievements and Fulbright Scholars are a few indicators of our academic success.

Affordability

95 percent of Doane students receive some form of financial aid. And our four-year graduation guarantee means you pay for four years of college rather than the more national norm of six years.

Results

93 percent of our recent graduates started careers or were admitted to prestigious professional and graduate programs within 6 months of graduation.

History

Doane College turned 140 in 2012. We are Nebraska’s first liberal arts and sciences college and we’ve never stopped striving to be the first, by many standards.

Community

Doane’s 300-acre campus, a designated arboretum, is renowned for its beauty. It’s also safe, close-knit and unforgettable.
