A college education is an investment. So, why invest in Creighton? At Creighton, students find value throughout their college years and after. With every college course and every academic credit, with every challenge and every success, Creighton will make your college experience well worth the investment.

At Creighton, the value of our education starts in the classroom.

Our low student-to-faculty ratio (11:1) means you get personalized attention. Our four-year graduation rate is 25 percent higher than the national average and the highest in the state of Nebraska—saving you time and money. The Creighton EDGE® offers academic coaching and counseling, alumni mentoring, internship opportunities, resources to you help identify and achieve career goals, and other services.

Our students can begin as early as their freshman year collaborating with faculty on hands-on academic research—an experience not found at larger universities. CURAS (Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship) helps facilitate undergraduate student research. Nationally, Creighton is the only Catholic university among 36 universities recognized for an extraordinary commitment to undergraduate research.

Creighton students have access to more than 6,000 internship opportunities locally and around the country. In Omaha, students often find internship roles at several Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies that are headquartered here. The John P. Fahey Career Center offers many tools and resources—including our worldwide network of alumni—to help students find employment opportunities and reach their career goals.
