Creighton University

Step into the vibrant world of Creighton University, a distinguished private research institution with a profound Jesuit heritage, shaping leaders and innovators since its founding in 1878. Born from the generous vision of Mary Lucretia Creighton, who established it in memory of her husband, Edward, the university quickly flourished, sustained by the dedication of Edward's brother, John A. Creighton, becoming a beacon of education and service.

At the academic heart of Creighton lies the College of Arts and Sciences, a cornerstone established in the university's inaugural year, and today, it remains its largest and most comprehensive college. Creighton has consistently demonstrated a forward-thinking spirit, opening its doors to women in 1913 and evolving its academic and research capabilities to meet contemporary needs. Its Jesuit foundation emphasizes a holistic education, nurturing not just intellect but also character and a commitment to justice.

With a robust student body of 8,838 and an impressive endowment of $0.9 billion, Creighton University continues to expand its impact and reach. This commitment to growth is exemplified by the opening of its Phoenix Health Sciences Campus in 2021, a testament to its ongoing dedication to innovation and preparing students for the challenges of tomorrow. For prospective students and families, Creighton offers a dynamic and supportive environment where rigorous academics are intertwined with a purposeful and engaging student experience.
