Mission, Academics and Programs

A Creighton education is more than a degree; it’s a chance to achieve a singular perspective, to find collective purpose and meaning, to learn how to live a life in the service of others.

Leading the way

Our Jesuit approach to teaching, research and programs is the cornerstone of a Creighton education. Through access to innovative mentors and opportunities, our students attain the skills, perspective and passion they need to go forth and set the world on fire.

Our nine schools and colleges offer a wide variety of programs and experiences for students pursuing careers in the arts, sciences, law, business and health sciences fields. And our reputation for top-tier research is recognized across all areas of campus. Creighton offers our students countless opportunities to grow — through service-learning, studying abroad and other immersive experiences.  

This is the heart of our mission: to form every student as a "whole person."  

Every gift made to mission, academics and programs serves this aim. Your support allows us to continue creating well-rounded women and men, ready to lead the way in pursuit of a better world.
