Creighton's Jesuit Roots
Creighton is one of fourteen Jesuit Catholic law schools in the U.S. One out of every ten American law students is enrolled in a Jesuit law school. Situated primarily in urban centers, these schools were traditionally among the first to provide women and minorities access to high-quality legal education. (Today, minority students comprise about 12 percent of the Creighton law student population.) With a reputation for rigorous study, Jesuit law schools value the pursuit of academic excellence and preparation for public service.
