On Campus Visit Programs

A lot of the students we talk to say that they really knew they would go to Creighton after first visit to campus. Many say they felt at home when they came to Creighton or that the university "felt right" when they first arrived.

To make sure more students have that experience, we have several events on campus throughout the year.

    Off-Campus Events

    Receptions

    While visiting campus is great, sometimes it's just not feasible, especially when you're just starting your college search. That's why we bring Creighton to you. Throughout the year, we hold receptions in areas all around the country, so that families will become familiar with both Creighton University and their representative in the Admissions office.

    Receptions are a casual way for us to get to know each other better:

    • mix and mingle with other prospective Creighton families
    • hear from Creighton's senior administration
    • meet current CU students and parents
    • hear from alumni about what opportunities await you after graduating from CU
    • and get some of your questions answered in person

    There are no receptions scheduled at this time.

    College Fairs

    College fairs are one way people used to check out colleges and universities before the internet. They still work for people who like to look at materials off-line and talk face-to-face. Free and open to the public, college fairs allow students and their parents to talk to admission representatives from Creighton and other colleges and universities. You can discuss course offerings, admission and financial aid requirements, college life in general, and other information pertinent to the college selection process.
