Health Sciences Schools, Colleges and Programs NEW
Education with a Patient-Centered Purpose
Creighton University offers a rigorous, future-focused health sciences education grounded in interprofessional learning. Students gain experience beyond the classroom in laboratories, simulation environments and clinical settings that reflect the realities of modern care. Our faculty are educators and researchers who work alongside students in labs and clinical environments.
Guided by the Jesuit, Catholic value of cura personalis—care for the whole person—our programs focus on service, ethical leadership and compassion.
Schools and Colleges
Health Careers Beyond Clinical Care
Improving health and wellbeing takes more than clinicians. At Creighton, students can also prepare for careers that strengthen communities, shape health policy, advance research, and explore the social, ethical, and behavioral factors that influence health.
Programs across our colleges and schools allow students to advance health through fields like health administration and policy, bioethics, public health, psychology, exercise science and related disciplines. These pathways prepare students to contribute to healthier people, communities and systems in many different ways, whether or not their career involves direct patient care.
Residencies and Fellowships
Creighton University prepares residents and fellows to become ethical, reflective clinicians who serve as agents of change in the health care system. Our residents and fellows work with diverse populations in both Arizona and Nebraska, including rural, underrepresented and underserved communities.
