| Mission | |
| School mission: | Creighton University, a Midwestern gem with a national reputation, is committed to being a leading Catholic, Jesuit university in the United States, helping students achieve academic and personal goals with a compassionate, faith-filled view of the world. Creighton's complex and sophisticated academic offerings draw students from across the nation and around the globe. Students find great balance within rigorous academics, abundant opportunities for undergraduate research and life-changing community service experiences. Creighton is steamrolling into the future, with more than $285 million in new construction, renovations and property acquisition, including: a state-of-the-art integrated science building, technology-rich junior/senior town homes, a nationally recognized soccer stadium and campus mall, a signature student life and learning center, and an under-construction athletic center and arena. With about 7,000 students (approximately 4,000 undergraduates), more than 50 undergraduate majors and more than 20 graduate and professional programs, Creighton is the ideal learning environment - small, personal classes, accomplished faculty mentors, a wealth of internship opportunities and a 96 percent job placement rate within eight months of graduation. With recognition from prestigious organizations such as the Fulbright Fellows and Goldwater Scholars programs and extraordinary synergy among undergraduate, graduate and professional faculty, it's not surprising that Creighton launches about half of arts and sciences graduates into medical, dental, pharmacy, physical or occupational therapy, graduate or law school - one of the highest rates nationally for a university our size. At Creighton, teaching matters and values matter, and our students are not only prepared to succeed in their careers, but challenged to go out and shape a more just world. Creighton's gardenlike campus offers a comfortable and safe space within a ten-minute walk of downtown restaurants, music events and corporate business headquarters. Students are often pleasantly surprised to find that Omaha features the cosmopolitan amenities of a larger city in a friendlier, more navigable environment. From nationally renowned academics to NCAA Division I athletics and extraordinary service and leadership opportunities, all set within a thriving metropolis, you get the complete package at Creighton University. |
