University of Nebraska Medical Center

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Nebraska Medical Center?

UNMC's published undergraduate tuition differs sharply by residency, and required fees are a substantial additional charge. In 2024-25 IPEDS figures, average full-time undergraduate tuition was $11,416 for Nebraska residents and $34,405 for nonresidents. Required fees were $5,557 for each group, producing tuition-and-fee amounts of $16,973 and $39,962, respectively, before living and other expenses.

• 2024-25 resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $16,973.
• 2024-25 nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $39,962.
• 2024-25 resident graduate tuition and required fees: $12,006.
• 2024-25 nonresident graduate tuition and required fees: $21,696.

The graduate figures combine reported average full-time tuition with $4,925 in required fees. They are not a reliable substitute for a medical, dental, pharmacy, or other program-specific budget: professional-program tuition, fees, equipment, insurance, and clinical costs can differ. Part-time charges also depend on credit load and residency.

A complete annual budget must add housing and food, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses without counting any charge twice. Published tuition is not the same as net cost after grants and scholarships. Reported undergraduate grant aid averaged $10,027 among recipients in the cited aid data, while 47% of the reported student group used loans; neither statistic predicts an individual award. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review UNMC's program-specific aid and scholarship instructions. Federal loans must be repaid, while grant eligibility and veteran or military education benefits depend on individual circumstances.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Nebraska Medical Center?

UNMC students may be able to pursue paid campus work, including positions connected to academic offices, laboratories, or health-related operations. Federal Work-Study is a separate form of need-based aid: an eligible student earns wages by working an approved job rather than receiving the full award automatically.

Students seeking Work-Study should submit the FAFSA, review their financial aid offer, and ask UNMC's financial aid office how eligible positions are advertised. Other part-time jobs may be open without Work-Study eligibility. A paid research role or clinical job can provide experience, but it should not be confused with a required clinical placement or an internship, which may have different compensation and academic rules.

Career development is also program-specific. Faculty advisers, clinical educators, and professional contacts may help students understand licensure pathways, residency applications, research opportunities, or employers in their field. Applicants who want résumé reviews, interview practice, or employer events should check which services their college makes available rather than assume a single undergraduate career center serves every UNMC program in the same way.
