We address real issues, providing relevant learning opportunities that uniquely prepare our graduates as professionals and active members of their community.

America’s best small cities. Bestcities, 2018

VALUE

[ BE A M AV.C OM/A FF OR D A BIL I T Y ] UNO believes in breaking down barriers. From creating and cultivating a citywide campus, to setting tuition rates that don’t restrict access to our world-class faculty and programs, we are dedicated to making education accessible. Our tuition and fees are among the lowest of Nebraska’s fouryear institutions according to U.S. News & World Report.

COST OF ATTENDANCE* The cost of attendance is the estimated full and reasonable cost of completing a nine-month academic year as a full-time student (27 credit hours or more) and includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and other expenses. NE Resident
