Law Schools in Nebraska: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)

Nebraska has 2 ABA-accredited law schools, and neither one has a published sticker tuition figure in this data, which matters because it means the headline price you'd see marketed isn't necessarily what admitted students actually pay. What is reported is the discount share: 85.1% of Nebraska Law's class gets some form of grant, and 89.3% of Creighton's does too, so both schools discount aggressively even without a confirmed base number to discount from. On admissions, the University of Nebraska is the stronger of the two, a 160 median LSAT, a 3.8 GPA, and a 40.1% acceptance rate. Creighton sits below that at 153 and 3.5, admitting nearly two-thirds of applicants. A student in the high 150s or low 160s is competing for a Nebraska Law seat; below that, Creighton is the realistic in-state option. The placement gap is the clearest signal in this state's data. Nebraska Law posted a 94.8% full-time, long-term placement rate for its 2024 class, a honestly strong number for a public flagship. Creighton posted 87.6%, still solid but a real step behind, roughly 7 points lower. Is Nebraska worth applying to if you're not planning to stay? Without confirmed tuition, that's the piece to nail down directly with each school before you commit, since the actual cost drives the debt-to-outcome math more than anything else here. What the data does show is that Nebraska Law's placement rate holds up well against schools with far more selective admissions, which makes it worth a serious look even for applicants weighing options in other states.
