UNK Enters a New Era

Many visitors to UNK who last visited only 5 years ago say they do not recognize the campus. Under the leadership of Chancellor Douglas Kristensen, UNK has embarked on an ambitious campus revitalization and renewal program that includes not only a $22 million, suite-style residential complex, but also a newly renovated Bruner Hall of Science, a new Planetarium, a new Cope Stadium, a relocated and modernized Central Utility Plant and tunneling system, remodeled existing residence halls, and a major facelift for the campus through landscaping and trees.

The campus upgrades are being accomplished as UNK continues to grow steadily, especially its graduate online programs, international students, non-resident students, and degrees granted. In fact, at 11 percent, UNK enjoys by far the largest percentage of international undergraduate students of any other campus in Nebraska and neighboring states.
While growing, UNK has been recognized, as well, for its academic excellence as a top 15 public university in the Midwest at the Masters level by U.S. News and World Report.
