More in Creighton's Future:
A vision for Creighton
Creighton is a world-class academic institution recognized for excellence in teaching, learning and research, and enriched by a centuries-long tradition of Jesuit, Catholic education.
With our depth and breadth in the liberal arts, distinctiveness in the health sciences, preeminence in law and real-world innovation in business, we’re ready to advance the University’s standing and influence — locally, nationally and globally.
Leading the way
A dynamic vision guides our path forward. And we call on our alumni and friends to help us lead the way as Creighton continues to:
-
Form critical thinkers through the power of a Jesuit education.
-
Increase access to that education for our high-achieving students through scholarships.
-
Expand Creighton's influence with campuses in Omaha and Phoenix. Expand our reach with professional, corporate and health care partners throughout the country.
-
Innovate in interprofessional education and collaborative health care among our health-science-based schools
-
Expand our world-class business education.
-
Passionately pursue our Jesuit, Catholic mission, with a special concern for diversity, inclusion and a more just, reconciled and sustainable world.
Lighting the way
Creighton University’s strategic plan illuminates a bold vision that strengthens our core mission, one enriched by a tradition of Jesuit, Catholic education more than four centuries in the making.
