Students can engage with faculty on research and apply learning in laboratories, clinics and community settings. University libraries support research through collections, specialist guidance and collaborative spaces.
Creighton’s Career Center offers career exploration and preparation, and many students complete internships or research projects. For the Class of 2025, 98% of undergraduate graduates with known outcomes were employed, pursuing advanced study or participating in service within six months; the knowledge rate was 68%.
