Driver Education Endorsement

The Nebraska Safety Center at UNK offers the Driver Education Endorsement for addition to the Nebraska Teaching Certificate. This endorsement program also provides the courses necessary for non-certified teachers to be approved by the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. Students pursuing certification in other states must check with their State Department of Education for certification requirements. The nine credit hour program consists of three undergraduate courses offered for three credit hours each. This coursework can be completed online; however, observation of range and simulation, as well as demonstration of teaching proficiency, must be completed at the Nebraska Safety Center Driving Range in Kearney, Nebraska. This laboratory component can be completed in a minimum of three to five days.

The University of Nebraska at Kearney offers affordable tuition to out-of-state online students. For 2011-12, nonresident undergraduate online tuition is $319.00 per credit hour; resident undergraduate tuition is $207.00 per credit hour (fees are additional).
