Creighton University was founded in 1878 and named for pioneer businessman Edward Creighton.

Living in Nebraska's largest city provides plenty of great food, shopping, and entertainment. Creighton University is perfectly located for exploring the beautiful nearby parks, neighboring Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha's best attractions -- many within walking distance. The Old Market provides a fantastic destination for food, shops, art galleries, and live music. This historic section of Omaha includes cobblestone streets and gorgeous architecture. Other nearby locations include the Henry Doorly Zoo, the Omaha Riverfront, and Heartland of America Park.
