As a graduate of the Heider College of Business, you know firsthand the difference in a business degree from Creighton—integrity before profits. Our students learn exceptional business and leadership skills in a Jesuit, Catholic environment that distinguishes Creighton students and makes them extremely attractive to employers.

I am proud to tell you that essentially all of our undergraduate business students are placed in a career or graduate school of their choice immediately following graduation. With thousands of internship opportunities available for our business students each year, we find that those who participate in more than one internship while in college receive three to five job offers before they graduate. 

Both our graduate and undergraduate business programs have been ranked highly year after year by US News and World Report, largely in part to our cutting edge business education with innovative programs in areas such as financial psychology, health care, leadership, entrepreneurship, finance and more.

I firmly believe that you, as a graduate of Creighton’s values-based Jesuit education, are among a group of professionals uniquely prepared to engage today’s complex business issues and develop solutions for a better tomorrow.

On this Alumni website, you will learn important information that will keep you connected to Creighton and your fellow alumni. Be sure to also read the Heider College of Business news to learn the latest on our students and faculty and check out our school’s website.

If you haven’t been back to campus recently, please visit. You will be amazed! And please stop in at the Heider College of Business office. We would love to see you.
