Pre-Professional Scholars Program
One-of-a-kind Pre-Professional Advising and Guarantees
Because more than half of our students come to Creighton with the goal of pursuing a professional degree, we have created the country’s most comprehensive, intentional pre-professional advising and guarantee program. The Center for Advising Resources and Support in Student Success offers a premier pre-professional advising program to all students that’s unlike any other university.
The Creighton Pre-Professional Scholars Program (CPPSP) provides qualifying students the opportunity to be a part of our extraordinary guarantee program. Each CPPSP program requires an application with specific requirements.
