Change provisions relating to instructional priorities and degree programs at state colleges

Summary

The bill rewrites Nebraska statutes to make the University of Nebraska the lead agency for graduate and professional degree programs, while directing state colleges to focus first on baccalaureate education degrees. It also limits new baccalaureate programs at Chadron, Peru, and Wayne State colleges to rural needs and allows those schools to add certain graduate degrees with board and commission approval. The changes aim to coordinate higher‑education offerings, strengthen education programs, and align new degrees with regional workforce demands.
