The University

Creighton is one of the 28 Jesuit universities in the U.S. For 125 years, it has been educating men and women who are successful in their professions and leaders in their communities. Creighton itself is a leader among U.S. colleges and universities. The U.S. News and World Report ranks Creighton first among Midwestern Master's universities. The Princeton Review lists Creighton as one of the Best 361 Colleges.

Creighton's 6,800 students come from every state of the U.S. and over 40 countries. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio has earned Creighton a "best value" ranking by Money magazine.

The undergraduate colleges (Arts and Sciences, Business Administration and Nursing) offer over 50 different majors. The university offers precedence to its own qualified undergraduates seeking entrance to Creighton's medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy and occupational therapy, and the graduate school.

There are over 180 student organizations at Creighton, including academic, social and athletic groups and clubs. And speaking of sports, Creighton is an NCAA Division I university!

Omaha's own symphony, opera, and ballet productions are held in the Orpheum Theatre; the new 17,000-seat Qwest Center holds sport events and popular concerts.
