Creighton University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Creighton University?

Creighton is a private university, so the reported full-time undergraduate tuition is the same for Nebraska residents and out-of-state students. For the 2024-25 reporting year, tuition was $46,800 and required fees were $2,056, for $48,856 before housing, food, books and other living costs.

Reported room and board charges provide a further benchmark of $14,453 for an academic year, and books and supplies are estimated at $1,200. Students also need to budget for transportation, personal spending and any program-specific expenses. Because published figures can come from different reporting schedules and housing choices vary, those benchmarks should not be mistaken for an official, individualized annual bill.

A published price is not the same as a net price after grants and scholarships. Reported average net prices vary with family income: approximately $22,095 for students from families earning no more than $48,000 and $35,090 for those above $110,000. These are averages for defined groups, not aid offers. Creighton reports substantial undergraduate grant aid, but borrowing remains common: 42% of the measured students had student loans. Applicants should compare their own aid offers using both the amount due and the amount they would need to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at Creighton University?

Creighton students can seek part-time campus work, and eligible students may qualify for Federal Work-Study through their financial-aid package. Federal Work-Study is an earned-wages program: receiving an award does not mean that its full amount is credited to a tuition bill or that a job is automatically assigned.

Students generally establish federal-aid eligibility through the FAFSA, then search and apply for available positions according to the university's student-employment procedures. Other campus jobs may be open to students without a Work-Study award. Hours, pay and access to particular roles depend on the employer and position. A job related to a major can provide experience, but ordinary student employment should not be confused with a required internship or a verified postgraduation placement.

For financing beyond wages, eligible students may receive federal grants, institutional scholarships, other grant assistance or federal loans. Veteran and military education benefits may provide another route for eligible students; the veterans-support and financial-aid offices can clarify how a specific benefit interacts with tuition and other aid.
