How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Creighton University admits about 79.8% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,243 and 1,428, and ACT scores typically fall between 26 and 31. Among enrolled undergraduates, 11.5% receive Pell Grants and 18.4% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is modest, at 12.0%. Azimuth ranks Creighton University #1301 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the institution's selective admissions funnel combined with a relatively smaller share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students compared with broad-access peers. The first-year retention rate stands at 94.2%, and the six-year graduation rate is 83.4%, with 73.7% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $76,400 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure not yet updated to the four-year horizon, placing Creighton University in the 98.4 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Creighton University #743 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects a selective institution where low-income students who gain admission complete at strong rates and achieve solid post-graduation outcomes, though the institution's admission scale limits the absolute number of low-income students who benefit from that pathway. Azimuth's analysis of access versus outcomes explores how institutions balance enrollment breadth with graduate success.
