"My experience at UNK has been very beneficial. The instructors, as well as the curriculum, are both interesting and challenging. I have received much guidance in choosing pre-pharmacy and even more in pursuing my decision."
Jami Bartak
UNK Pre-Pharmacy Student
"Now that I have started medical school at UNMC, I am convinced that the University of Nebraksa at Kearney prepares its pre-medical students as well, if not better than any institution in the state."
Ky Newell
Medical Student, UNMC
"I feel I gained a valuable educational background at UNK. It helped prepare me for my Occupational Therapy classes at Washington University. Thank you for helping me to attain my career as well as personal goals."
Kristin Frerichs, DTS
"As a non-traditional student I was more than a little apprehensive about returning to school nearly 10 years since I had last attended. However, the faculty and staff in the Biology and Chemistry departments have made me feel very welcome. Every instructor that I have spoken with has encouraged me to do well and has offered me assistance any time I needed it. It is surprising to me to see several other non-traditional students on the campus and any of them that I have talked to have reiterated the same things I have found myself, 'It is never too late to go back' and 'You're never too old to learn.'"
Rick Thaden
Pre-Dentistry Student
"One of the greatest advantages of UNK over other institutions is the one-on-one relationships students develop with the educational staff. As a student I felt the instructors really cared about the material they taught and more importantly, wanted their students to get the most from the education experience."
Paula Grupe, MT(ASCP)
Good Samaritan Hospital
"When I first chose to attend UNK, I was concerned that I may not receive an education that would adequately prepare me for a health-oriented career. Now four years later, however, I could not be more impressed with the instructors, advisors, and courses available at UNK. I feel extremely well prepared to further my studies in medical school."
Dori Hunt
Medical Student, UNMC
"UNK provided me with excellent pre-pharmacy guidance through counselors and instructors who took the time to get to know me. Information on health careers was always available and useful in deciding on a course of study. I never had a question that went unanswered."
Sarah Steele
Pharmacy Student/UNMC
"My first visit to my advisor was all it took to decide on Medical Technology as a career. My advisor and the faculty were genuinely concerned in helping me find my strengths and to put them to use in a career that would complement them. The background I received at UNK helped me immensely in the classes I took at UNMC."
