Making Advances Through Research and Scholarship
As a Jesuit Catholic institution, Creighton University promotes principles of ethical living, service to others, a passion for justice and the search for truth. That’s why research is such a core element of a Creighton graduate education (although our undergraduates have exciting research opportunities too).
Research at Creighton is mission oriented. Our faculty work closely with all their graduate students to answer pressing, social-justice oriented questions in areas ranging from natural science to business and beyond. They work closely with students on both theoretical and applied research, teaching practical job skills that differentiate our graduates.
Creighton’s faculty do more than teach and research, though. They develop students as individuals, serving as mentors and advisors for their graduate students. With such a deep understanding of their students, they can develop practical, impactful programs that give students the tools to succeed before and after graduate school.
Research plays a role in both Master’s and Doctorate programs, although it is much more central to doctoral degrees. No matter the program, faculty encourage students to think critically and ethically, making them not only better researchers but also better consumers of research.
