If you’re looking to immerse in international destinations to expand your education and prepare for employment, turn to our Global Scholars Program.

Others recognize what we offer. U.S. News & World Report ranks us among the leading National Universities with high rankings for undergraduate teaching, innovation, best value and business programs.

Meet Our Community
Nearly 80% of our students come from out-of-state cities and towns, coast-to-coast and across the world. They settle into a home of their own on campus supported by students, staff and faculty ready to welcome them with events and activities every day of the week. Students live on campus because there is a vibrant life found in the residence and dining halls, student centers, fitness and athletic facilities. The on-campus hustle and bustle creates the caring community that Creighton is known for. Plus, campus is nestled next to downtown Omaha for easy access to nearby food, music, art and sports scenes.


Future Focused
From your first day on campus to long after graduation, you’ll find the support to succeed. Unlike many other universities, classes are taught by industry experts and professors, not teaching assistants, and world-class research opportunities begin here as early as freshman year. From analyzing limestone votive statues in Cyprus to developing non-invasive lasers to diagnose cancer, there is no limit on what you can research as an undergraduate student at Creighton.
We have many opportunities for you to dive into research or just about anything else. Student Success will help you, with academic coaching, tutoring, advising and more, to navigate college and your future. Whatever path you pursue, we’re alongside you every step.

International Alumni Network
Our alumni and friends—a one-of-a-kind community—help prepare generations of Creighton students to land their first job or advance their careers. Our 77,000 alumni live and work in diverse industries across the U.S. and dozens of other countries.
When you earn a Creighton degree you join a lifelong network of notable Bluejays including Kyle Korver, professional NBA player; Mike Johanns, former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture; Cathy Hughes, the first Black woman to head a publicly traded corporation; and Sheila Nix, chief of staff to the Department of Education.
