Academics
| Academic excellence is a Jesuit tradition here at Creighton University. Creighton offers over 50 majors and has six professional schools and 25 graduate programs. Creighton's undergraduate academic plan is both founded on, and capped by, the Core Curriculum. In this structured academic curriculum typical of Jesuit institutions students learn about the life of the mind and the spirit while exploring different disciplines in the context of our Jesuit, Catholic heritage. The components and composition vary from college to college but all require a broad and deep understanding of the world at large and your role in it. |
