For more than a century, Creighton University has been a leader in health sciences education, building on a foundation that began with early programs in pharmacy (1905) and nursing (1928) and has grown into one of the nation’s most respected academic health sciences communities. Today, that legacy extends across two campuses, our historic home in Omaha and our state-of-the-art Health Sciences Campus in Phoenix.
Together, these campuses bring four top-ranked schools and more than 40 degree and certificate programs into one remarkable Jesuit, Catholic university. Whether you’re interested in an advanced degree or are just starting to explore the possibilities of health sciences, you’ll find pathways to match your goals.
