Tuition & Fees

Invest in your future

The cost of your education is an investment in your future as a healthcare professional.

Tuition and fees are subject to change, as determined by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.

Costs of Attendance

Student Accounts

Residency Status

Qualifying for residency for tuition purposes at the University of Nebraska differs from what is normally required to be considered a "resident" of the State of Nebraska. A person may be considered a "resident" of Nebraska and still be Non-Resident for tuition purposes. More information regarding residency status can be found at UNMC Nebraska Residency.

Medical Nutrition Scholarships

Two scholarships will be awarded to incoming students each year from the Sandy Stork and Barbara Robertson Medical Nutrition Scholarship Fund. One scholarship will be awarded to a Nebraska resident and one will be awarded to a non-resident. Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated financial need.

Health Insurance

Medical Nutrition Program students must have health insurance throughout their enrollment in the program. This requirement can be met by purchasing a University-endorsed plan, or the student can provide evidence of comparable coverage through spouse’s, employer’s, parent’s, or personal plan, in which case the fee is waived.

Variable Costs

Please note: For those students accepted to the Kearney location, there is a nominal cost differential resulting from fees generated for miscellaneous items such as the campus newspaper, access to sporting events on the UNK campus, and a multicultural allocation. This nominal cost cannot be waived. For more specific information regarding the fees, please contact the College of Allied Health Professions' Enrollment Management and Student Affairs Office at 402-559-6673.

Housing and Living Allowances

Information about housing both on and off campus may be found at the UNMC housing website. Housing and living expenses are not included in the estimated tuition and related expenses above. See the financial aid office for details on living allowances.

Technology Requirement
