Creighton University is a private Jesuit university located in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded in 1878, it operates as an independent institution affiliated with the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Unlike public universities, which receive state funding, Creighton relies on tuition, donations, and endowments for financial support.
The university offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs across nine schools and colleges. Its private status allows it to integrate Jesuit values into its curriculum while maintaining autonomy in academic and administrative decisions. Prospective students should note that private universities often have higher tuition costs compared to public institutions.
