College Park is located at 3180 W. U.S. Hwy 34 in Grand Island, Nebraska, directly north of Stuhr Museum. Our location is convenient for those living in central Nebraska.
Courses are geared specifically for community members and students wanting to earn a bachelor’s degree. Those enrolled in community college can supplement their college studies with our courses. High school students can earn college credit by taking General Education courses. Those already with degrees or in careers can supplement their education and training. Courses are taught by our top professors from UNK, a #6 ranked Midwest Public University. You will receive personal attention for your academics.
High school students who are admitted as Dual Enrollment/Early Entry will pay approximately one-third of the cost of actual tuition and fees, receiving substantial savings. Otherwise, see our tuition and fees schedule.
Courses at our College Park location begin the spring 2021 semester, which starts January 25, 2021.
The application for admission is available until the first week of classes. We recommend you apply early.

If you are a high school student, your school may offer advanced courses for high school credit and college credit. This is considered dual enrollment. Classes will be taught at the high school by a high school instructor approved by UNK. Check with your high school counselor for courses that are offered.

No. UNK will accept students who rank in the top half of their high school graduating class or have a 3.0 cumulative high school GPA. However, ACT or SAT scores are important for scholarship consideration if you are a degree-seeking undergraduate student.
