How much does University of Nebraska-Lincoln actually cost after financial aid?

What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $12,751 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $22,346. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.

What is the graduation rate at University of Nebraska-Lincoln?

University of Nebraska-Lincoln reports a graduation rate of approximately 67%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How much student debt do graduates of University of Nebraska-Lincoln have?

Students who borrowed at University of Nebraska-Lincoln left with a median of approximately $21,000 in federal loans, and about 33% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.

How much do graduates of University of Nebraska-Lincoln earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $56,887 for students who received federal financial aid at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
