Tuition & Fees

We're ranked #17 in the U.S. for "Most Affordable Schools for International Students" by College Factual.

That's not our only ranking when it comes to being an affordable institution, either. Kiplinger's Personal Finances ranked UNI among the nation's "Top 100 Values in Public Schools," and as No. 7 in their list of Top 25 Universities and Colleges Under $30,000. We're truly seen as one of the country's "best buys" in higher education.
