A Transformative Education
Careers and family life tend to get hectic, but the College of Professional and Continuing Education strives to make this transformative education work for everyone, no matter their situation.
We offer courses for our busy adult learners looking to advance their careers or change direction. We work around schedules and meet the changing needs of our students.
Creighton understands the shifting landscape of higher education. We will respond with innovative solutions, calling upon our alumni and friends for guidance and support.

A new scholarship is bringing more physicians and physician assistants to Phoenix
The new scholarship will boost the number of physicians and physician assistants in Maricopa County and the state at large, both of which are facing a significant shortage of healthcare providers.
A Grit Scholar’s nursing journey
Ola Hezel, a senior in Creighton’s College of Nursing and Grit Scholar, has cared for patients at life’s most tender moments. Through leadership roles and clinical experience, she’s learned the power of compassionate care — a lesson she’ll carry into her nursing career at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Powered by grit, guided by purpose
Stephanie Hernandez came to Creighton as a first-generation student uncertain of her path — but through the Grit Scholarship, she found her purpose.
Lifelong education
"It truly is about lifelong education. We recognize that education goes beyond a traditional degree pathway. We provide professional development, continuing education and workshops for any adult learner to further their education or learn a specific skill or competency."
— Gayla Stoner, PhD, Dean, College of Professional and Continuing Education

Scholarships
Scholarships not only lighten the load of tuition and fees; they give each student a transformative sense of purpose and meaning, sending them into their careers with a desire to help others as our donors helped them.
Faculty development
A tremendous education begins and ends with great faculty. When you make a gift to faculty development, you ensure that Creighton continues to attract and retain our talented professors and excel in teaching, learning and research.
The Creighton Fund
When you support the Creighton Fund, you allow Creighton to use your gift to meet our greatest and most immediate areas of need. It means we’ll use your gift in ways that most directly and effectively help our students right now.
Restricted gifts
A restricted gift is when you designate your gift to a specific program or area of the University. This is a great way to support a cause close to your heart, such as a scholarship for students from an underrepresented group.
