Administered through the College of Arts and Sciences and supported by the Center for Great Plains Studies—a cross-disciplinary, multi-college research and education center established by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents—the specialization is available to graduate students enrolled in various UNL programs. Eligible fields include Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication, Agronomy, Anthropology/Geography, Architecture, Communication Studies, Community and Regional Planning, Economics, English, Geosciences, History, Natural Resource Sciences, Teaching, Learning & Teacher Education, and Textiles, Clothing and Design.
