School Mission

(Data appear as originally submitted by this school)
Creighton University is on the forefront as one of the finest Jesuit, Catholic universities in the United States. It is, by far, the most diverse institution of its size in the nation. Creighton is recognized as one of the top colleges in the U. S. for its balance in offering a highly sophisticated pre-professional and liberal-arts education (more than 50 majors). We have been recognized among the Top 66 universities in America for involving undergraduates in research opportunities. Our students balance their academic development with an additional focus on developing leadership skills and an intense desire to be of service to others. Students come to Creighton to become experts in their chosen fields. . . even if they haven't already chosen a field of study! About 45% of the seniors graduating from Creighton go immediately into medical, dental, pharmacy, law, physical and occupational therapy programs, the highest rate of any Midwestern university. Creighton also produces exceptional teachers, business professionals, scientists, journalists and writers and community service advocates. Our size is ideal. With 4, 000 undergraduates and 2, 800 professional and graduate students, Creighton students feel they have the best of both worlds - first-rate academic programs and facilities as well as an atmosphere that promotes intimate relationships with faculty that often lead to involvement in research projects or internships. Creighton students tend to have a deeper focus on their careers and life-style choices than other students as they are encouraged to examine the moral as well as factual dimension of issues. Most students get involved in leadership training programs and community service and/or campus ministry organizations. The campus has its own comfortable and safe sense of space and is only a five minute walk from downtown restaurants, music events and corporate business headquarters. One of our students stated it best: "Creighton has the academic quality of the best East Coast colleges, the friendliness, warmth, and hard work team-oriented ethic of the Midwest, and the relaxed, optimistic but ambitious attitude of the West Coast.
