A rich tradition of preparing professionals for Nebraska and the World. The College of Education has an outstanding reputation for quality and excellence that benefits our graduates as they move into their chosen professions or move on to graduate education programs.
The College of Education provided me with the education I needed for my teaching career. And not surprisingly, when I decided to earn my educationspecialist degree, my school search led me right back to UNK.

Choosing to be an Exercise Science major at UNK was one of the best decisions I made in preparation for medical school. During the first week of Anatomy here at UNMC, I felt very comfortable because I had four semesters of Anatomy at UNK. Information I learned in courses such as Public Health Aspects, Exercise Physiology, and Fitness Testing has proven useful again and again in both the classroom and especially the clinic.
