The MEM program at Nebraska is one of the nation's best values, and many of our students are supported through their companies with tuition assistance.
A 15 percent online course tuition discount applies to veterans and active-duty military personnel. Learn more on this page.
Note: The program does not offer any assistantships or scholarships. The MEM is a professional degree rather than a research degree; our students are full-time employed and receive full or substantial tuition reimbursement from their employers.

In accordance with Federal Financial Aid requirements, Nebraska provides an estimated Cost of Attendance as a standardized estimate of the overall cost of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for a specific period. It represents the best estimate of expenses a student might expect to incur.
"I think cost played a key role as well. I needed something smaller and more focused and I wanted to get through it quickly. So it was an economical decision, it was cheaper than the MBA program and I was able to get through it quicker."
