Pre-Professional Advising

Your goals are our focus.

At Creighton, we turn ambition into achievement. With 1 in 3 graduates successfully enrolling in professional or graduate programs, our pre-professional advising results speak for themselves. We provide guidance, resources and support for students preparing for medical school, law school or another professional path.

Creighton’s pre-professional advising offers:

  • Real-world experience that sets you apart: Build a standout resume through curated experiences and expert support.

Creighton also offers an optional scholars program for added support: The Creighton Pre-Professional Scholars Program (CPPSP) offers selected students enhanced advising, defined benchmarks and, in some cases, guarantees for Creighton’s professional programs.
