With an enro ment of 6,226 persons taught by a facu ty of 1,361, Creighton has setas its goal the conduct of higher education in the context of Christian values.Founded in 1878, Creighton is coeducational, independent, and has always beenoperated by the Jesuits in the traditions of that Catholic religious order. Creighton hasa faculty and student body made up of individuals of many races and faiths from everygeographical region of the United States and from numerous foreign nations.Creighton is a university in the true sense. In addition to the College of Arts andSciences, Creighton has a College of Business Administration, University College,Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Law, Nursing, and Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, and a Graduate School offering master and doctorate degrees. Creighton hasbeen active in the establishment of continuing education programs and of a SummerSession of modern design for the contemporary educational consumer. The UniversityCollege offers undergraduate degree and certificate programs for part-time studentsand specializes in noncredit offerings for adults.Thirty-four percent of the University’s students are enrolled in the College of Artsand Sciences, 32 percent in the health sciences professions, 11 percent in BusinessAdministration, 7 percent in University College, 8 percent in law, and 8 percent in theGraduate School.LOCATIONOmaha, Nebraska’s largest population center, is located on the western bank of theMissouri River, which serves as the Nebraska-Iowa boundary. Originally settled bythe Omaha Indian Tribe, Omaha was soon a favorite stop for early settlers traveling upthe Missouri River. Omaha’s frontier traditions and values have remained largely intact as the city has progressed toward the 21st century. Creighton’s campus is locatedon the northwest edge of downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The University’s planned campus of nearly 93.5 acres is near the city’s revitalized urban center.Omaha is a city of 390,007 that serves as a regional center. The city is the majorurban area between Chicago and Denver and between Kansas City and Minneapolis.The center of a metropolitan area of 716,998 persons, Omaha has rolling hills and treelined streets.Creighton University is perfectly situated to enjoy both the charm and beauty of thecity and its cultural and recreational attractions. The campus is minutes from downtown theatre, shopping, government and financial districts; Central Park Mall and theHeartland of America Park, the jewels of downtown Omaha’s scenic riverfront development; Henry Doorly Zoo, which features the world’s largest indoor tropical rainforest,a 450,000 gallon walk-through aquarium, a Desert Dome, and IMAX Theatre; andRosenblatt Stadium, home of the NCAA College World Series and the Omaha Royals.Omaha is the home of the internationally acclaimed Opera Omaha, Ballet Omaha,and Omaha Symphony. Joslyn Art Museum not only displays impressive permanentcollections from 19th and 20th century European and American artists, but also sched-

against the nation s best co ege ath etes in Memo ia Stadium, Devaney Spo ts complex, and Haymarket Park, less than forty-five minutes from Omaha.Omaha is the site of a vital downtown area. Omaha’s Missouri Riverfront has undergone a massive redevelopment supported by private and public funds. ConAgra, Inc.,a multi-billion dollar food processor, has built its headquarters operation, completewith a research facility, on the riverfront. The City of Omaha is extending its downtown Central Park Mall to the river front. Recent development has also included aconsolidated operations center for Union Pacific Railroad and a major computer center for Qwest Communications.Omaha is served by over 180 regularly scheduled daily flights by twelve majorairlines plus two regional airlines and by four class-one railroads. Two interstate highway systems serve the metropolitan area—I-80 going east and west and I-29 north andsouth.Many students find inexpensive and charming apartments in renovated historic buildings close to both Creighton and the European allure of “ The Old Market,” downtownOmaha’s shopping and dining quarter. The cost of living in Omaha is less than that ofalmost any other major city — a comfortable lifestyle is within easy reach.HISTORYJohn and Edward Creighton, builders of the transcontinental telegraph that linkedpioneer America, have given their name to the University.Edward's widow, Mary Lucretia Creighton, carrying out her husband's wishes, leftmoney and directions for establishing a college in his memory. Following her death onJanuary 23, 1876, the present University site was purchased and the first Bishop ofOmaha, the Right Reverend James O'Connor, D.D., invited the Jesuits to conduct theCreighton College.One priest, three scholastics, a layman, and a woman formed the faculty when classesbegan September 2, 1878. On August 14, 1879, Bishop O'Connor surrendered his trustto a new corporation, “The Creighton University.”Jesuits were exclusive managers of the corporation until, in October 1968, the Boardof Directors was expanded to include laypersons. Today twenty-three laypersons andeight Jesuits conduct the corporate affairs of Creighton University.The early growth of Creighton University and the enlargement of its endowmentwere due mainly to the benefactions of John A. Creighton and his wife, Sara EmilyCreighton.THE JESUIT ORDER AND CREIGHTON UNIVERSITYCreighton University, situated in the heart of America, is Jesuit education. JesuitAmerican education on the secondary level network is all-embracing. Forty-six Jesuithigh schools dot our map; one was established in the 18th Century, twenty-four in the

There seems to be an instant bond of camaraderie and identification among graduates of diverse American Jesuit universities and high schools before they have visitedtogether for five minutes. Creighton graduates have commented on this again and again.It is a subtle but real bond that these gradutes feel. They are part of a great and satisfying network calculated to prepare them for a full and rewarding life. This Jesuit educationis shared with 1,000 other institutions conducted by the total number of 25,000 Jesuitsacross the world.American Jesuit Priests and Brothers are active on every front. They are the largestmissionary Order in the Catholic Church. Of their 6,000 American Jesuits, every fifthman is in the harvest field of foreign or American mission.GOALS AND OBJECTIVESCreighton University exists to educate her students with a view to their intellectualexpansion, social adequacy, physical development, aesthetic appreciation, and spiritual enrichment. Creighton serves her publics primarily through teaching and research.Employing the techniques of teaching and research offers numerous other opportunities to provide community services and leadership.Creighton has behind it a pattern of more than four centurien.of Jesuit teaching. TheOrder’s focus has always been on the total person, an approach that includes development of each student’s talents to assure that he or she can meet both material andspiritual needs.Members of every denomination are enrolled in and welcome to all courses in theUniversity. While Creighton fosters learning in a Christian-oriented setting and challenges students to reflect on transcendental truths, students are not required to participatein religious services or activities.All educational programs of Creighton University are open to both men and women.The University Assessment Plan has been established to help measure the success ofCreighton’s academic programs. Each college and school has in place its own appropriate plan to determine student achievement in its programs and to implement changesfor continuous improvement in Creighton’s assessment plans, and students participatewith faculty and administration in striving for improvements in the teaching-learningprocess. sn addition, the University Plan embraces Student Services, and the specialareas of cultural diversity and service to others, values which are emphasized inCreighton’s Mission Statement.CREDO OF CREIGHTONCreighton, a Jesuit University, is convinced that the hope of humanity is the abilityof men and women to seek the truths and values essential to human life. It aims to leadall its members in discovering and embracing the challenging responsibilities of theirintelligence, freedom, and value as persons.We therefore profess, and pledge ourselves to teach in the perspectives of, the fol-

sharing through family and social systems, and through political, scientific, and culturalachievements.We believe that we must strive for a human community of justice, mutual respect,and concern. In this context we must cultivate respect and care for our planet and itsresources.We believe that laws exist for the benefit and well-being of
