Global Education NEW
Learning That Serves the World
At Creighton University, global education grows from our Jesuit, Catholic commitment to walk in solidarity with others and engage the world with compassion, expertise and innovation. We prepare students to learn from diverse perspectives while applying their knowledge to real challenges facing communities locally, nationally and globally.
Through courses, programs and partnerships across the University, global learning becomes part of the Creighton experience for every student. The Global Engagement Office (GEO) helps create a hope-filled environment for intentional global learning, strengthening Creighton’s capacity to serve in solidarity with neighbors and nations and preparing reflective, informed and culturally competent leaders for a more just, sustainable and globally connected future.
Creighton’s Global Focus
The Creighton Global Initiative
The Creighton Global Initiative, overseen by the Office of the President, advances learning across borders by strengthening opportunities for students, faculty and staff to engage international and intercultural perspectives. Through philanthropic support, the initiative builds on Creighton’s longstanding programs—and launches new ones—to expand service, research and learning opportunities worldwide, grounded in Jesuit, Catholic higher education’s long tradition of connection beyond borders.
Our Global Partnerships
Creighton University fosters a dynamic global presence through a wide range of partnerships and collaborations that support student learning, faculty engagement, research and service around the world. These relationships span universities, healthcare systems, nonprofits and industry partners across multiple regions and disciplines.
In addition, Creighton is an active participant in numerous professional associations and international networks that advance global education and strengthen institutional collaboration.
