Undergraduate research
Undergraduates do hands-on research at Creighton. Because the graduate and professional schools work with our undergraduate colleges, students can experience advanced studies in their field long before they might at other schools. Some of them even get scholarships from the College of Arts and Sciences to carry out their research.
With all these opportunities, it's no wonder U.S. News & World Report named Creighton among the nation's Top 10 undergraduate liberal arts colleges for success in involving undergraduates in research.
Internships
If you want to pick your own real-world experience, Creighton has more internships than it can fill with more than 22,000 listings every year. Maybe you want to spend some time at a Fortune 500 company? Take your pick—there are five with headquarters a few miles away from Creighton.
"Creighton interns have a knowledge and maturity level that not only makes them a true asset to our team but also allows them to learn how to make real world investment decisions."
