Creighton graduates are considered highly regarded, desirable candidates as they search for employment or post-graduate education. Just look at the numbers:
- 95% Success Rate
With 95 percent of our students employed, volunteering, or attending graduate or professional school within eight months of graduation, Creighton graduates go places with their degrees.

About half of the students in the College of Arts and Sciences pursue graduate or professional degrees immediately following their undergraduate programs.
