Moving to Kearney

The Kearney divisions of the UNMC College of Nursing and the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions are located on the University of Nebraska at Kearney campus. The new Health Science Education Complex includes state-of-the-art classrooms, clinical teaching laboratories, clinical simulation facilities, a gross anatomy laboratory, and plentiful student interaction space. UNK also offers bachelor's degrees and pre-professional programs for preparation for further studies at UNMC.
One of Central Nebraska’s tri-cities, Kearney is big enough to offer every amenity and small enough to feel like home.
