SearchEducation Department Mission
The mission of Creighton University’s Education Department is to empower undergraduate and graduate students to become effective, caring teachers, school administrators, and counselors who desire to work with students and families in schools and agencies.
True to the Jesuit tradition of preparing teachers in education, the department focuses on developing critical thinking, reflective decision-making, and service orientation to promote the general welfare of individuals in the local and global communities. Through collaborative planning and research, the department pursues a future in which educational institutions become communities of inspired leaders.
Creighton’s pre-service education students participate in a liberal arts and a professional studies program. The liberal arts provide a broad knowledge base, establish values, and instill an appreciation of cultures. The professional studies programs develop competence, wisdom, and compassion.
