What are the graduation rates for students at Creighton University?

Creighton's reported six-year graduation rate is 83% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 74%. These are cohort outcomes, not predictions for an individual student or completion rates for every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 94%, meaning a large share of the measured entering students returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures answer different questions: returning for a second year does not establish that a student will finish, and a six-year rate includes students who took longer than four years. Applicants comparing schools should use consistent populations and reporting periods.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Creighton University?

Federal College Scorecard program data report earnings measured one year after completion for certain Creighton fields. Examples include $64,954 for registered nursing, $58,537 for accounting and $47,149 for economics. These are program-level figures for the covered federally aided completers, not starting-salary offers or amounts every graduate can expect.

In Scorecard program reporting, the one-year earnings measure is a median: half of the covered earners are above it and half below. The population and credential level matter when interpreting a field, and reported figures may reflect graduates working in different occupations or locations. Further study, part-time work and the availability of reportable records can also affect comparisons. For example, a low one-year figure in a laboratory science should not be treated as a forecast of that major's lifetime earnings or of earnings after a later professional degree.

Creighton's career center offers counseling, résumé and interview support, employer events, job-search resources and opportunities to connect with alumni. Those services are available to help students plan and apply; they are not employment guarantees.
