Doane College
Doane College offers bright, ambitious, and service-minded students a world-class liberal arts and sciences education grounded in the uncompromising pursuit of leadership through academic excellence, innovation, community, and the creation of a special sense of place for each individual.
Founded in 1872, Doane is Nebraska’s first liberal arts and sciences college. More than 130 years later, Doane continues to graduate ethical leaders who serve their communities with distinction and impact the state, the nation, and the world.
As a private, independent, coeducational college, Doane is nationally recognized for its innovative, student-centered, results-oriented approach to education; the wide variety of outstanding programs it offers traditional and nontraditional undergraduate and graduate students across three strategically placed campuses; and the numerous leadership opportunities it provides students. In fact, Doane was one of the first institutions in the nation to offer undergraduate students a four-year graduation guarantee.
The first liberal arts and sciences institution in Nebraska, the history of Doane College extends all the way back to 1871, when the General Association of Congregational Churches established an academy in Crete to serve the region as a literary institution of the highest order. On July 11, 1872, thanks to the combined efforts of the local Congregational pastor and Thomas Doane, chief civil engineer for the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, Crete Academy was reborn as Doane College, an incorporated non-profit institution governed by an independent, self-perpetuating board of trustees.
