University of Nebraska at Kearney Reviews

"Financial aid needs to learn to communicate. I was misinformed so many times, I'm looking to finish my master's elsewhere because of financial aid! Professors were mostly good. Some were terrible about grading in a decent time. Some liked to put words in your mouth when what you wrote about was IN THE MATERIAL THEY GAVE US!!!!!!!!!!! Some also tested us on stuff that didn't matter to the class."

"UNK is a fantastic school. My time at UNK taught me a lot about the world and helped me in my career. The education you get at this university is exceptional. Most of my classes were available online, but that doesn't mean that they are less rigorous than on-campus courses. If anything, the courses are more rigorous online, but all the extra effort is worth it because you are getting a great education."

"I am enjoying UNK's online graduate program. The professors are flexible and caring. The coursework is rigorous, enlightening, and highly relevant to my teaching profession. I would recommend this college to anyone pursuing an advanced degree in education."

"Pros - accessibility is amazing. Professors and fellow classmates are always available to lend a hand. Cons - Student Affairs is going all online. This is a pro and a con because more people can work the program no matter where they are. Con because the online will not give the students the counseling background they need for this area in person."

"Great graduate program for those teaching and trying to work towards their masters. The perfect amount of intensity and rigor. Highly recommend!"

"The pros of my graduate program are the helpful information they are providing for me to succeed, teachers and staff that are caring, helpful and knowledgable along with the flexibility for me to take classes online. The con of my program is the difficulty to receive financial aid grants and scholarships."

"The biggest pro is the relationship you build with the faculty and staff. The graduate program is a very personal setting, where they want you to succeed."

"I earned my undergraduate degree from UNK in 2005 and could not imagine pursuing my graduate degree any other place. The faculty is amazing and so helpful and the online classes are challenging and rewarding."

"You have a chance to really get to know your classmates and instructors. Both of which you will see throughout your entire program. The city provides many internship opportunities if you choose not to do a thesis. The classrooms were recently outfitted in conjunction with the brand new Student Wellness Center. Kearney is a beautiful city, but rentals and groceries can be pricey. Parking on campus is often limited."

"I love UNK! I'm in the online masters program. Every person I have spoken with is so helpful and patient answering my many questions. It's a great experience!!"

"The flexibility of an online graduate program is wonderful for a busy teacher and father who is pursuing an advanced degree! As a con, there is little assistance with the rising cost of grad credits."

"The University of Nebraska at Kearney provides a great environment to get a graduate degree in any field. The size and composition of the campus create a lively structure that is full of excitement and academic prowess. Every professor and school worker has real world and academic experience to prepare you for life after graduation. I received my undergraduate degree and now masters from this university. I am from Colorado and the town and university have everything you need to have a fulfilled college and graduate experience. Kearney is not a big city, but with over 7,000 students and a town of 40,000 people there is everything that you need. The town has an old world mid-west feeling with strong values that are missing in most big cities. The athletics, academics, and social life are top shelf and this has truly been a great town to live in for 7 years.Read Less"

"A pro of my graduate program is that it is all online so I can complete it while I'm teaching. A con is that I'm not able to interact with teachers and classmates face-to-face."

"I feel that the graduate program at UNK is very easy to follow. I am able to schedule my classes out from the time I started all the way to my projected graduation date. I enjoy that the whole program is online. I teach and live in New Mexico and I get to go to school where I want to and take classes where I want to through UNK. It's easy to get in touch with my professors and advisers, and they always respond in a timely manner. The downfall of not living in the place I also go to school in, is the fact that I don't have a personal relationship with my professors and my advisers. I don't get to know them the way I would if I were in the class in person, and they don't get to know me on a personal level. This program fits in with my schedule though because as a teacher and a coach, my time is very limited. Through this program I am able to also do course work on top of the other work I already do. I enjoy this program at UNK and am glad I chose it.Read Less"

"Really nice that you can take a GOOD online program! Everyone is very helpful and quick to answer any questions."
