Creighton University

Since its founding in 1878, Creighton University has been shaped by a mission rooted in Jesuit tradition: to form women and men who are committed to service, justice and academic excellence. Inspired by the vision of St. Ignatius of Loyola and made possible by the generosity of the Creighton family, the University continues to educate students who use their knowledge and compassion to make a difference in the world. This enduring commitment to faith and service remains at the heart of Creighton’s identity.
