Nebraska Wesleyan University

From its Lincoln campus, Nebraska Wesleyan University educates more than 2,000 students through numerous undergraduate and graduate degrees. Learners can pursue bachelor's degrees, including four accelerated undergraduate programs NWU created for working professionals. These degrees boast online and evening courses, as well as new courses that start every eight weeks. Graduate degrees at this Nebraska university prepare learners for careers in business, education, and nursing. Academically motivated high school juniors and seniors can apply to NWU's dual-credit program. Applicants should possess a B+ average, and these students can take college courses in a high school setting and pay a reduced per-credit tuition rate. Additionally, dual-credit learners do not pay university fees or textbook expenses. Application requirements include a high school diploma and prerequisite courses. All incoming learners submit FAFSA results, and in-state students receive the $12,000 Nebraska-Strong Grant. Other merit-based scholarships award up to $22,000 per year, meaning that some degree-seekers pay no tuition or fees.
