Our Mission
The mission of the Department of Biomedical Sciences is to provide education and opportunity for research in the sciences basic to medicine.
Terminal learning goals for the Biomedical Science Department: Within the context of Creighton as a Jesuit, Catholic University, the Graduate School provides value centered education that develops advanced mastery of a field of study. It puts graduate students in personal contact with faculty scholars in an environment which fosters critical judgment, scholarly initiative and disciplined inquiry. From the Mission Statement emerge six objectives. At the completion of their graduate program, the student will:
- Demonstrate an appreciation for the use of specialized knowledge in a field of study in service to others
- Identify and suggest possible solutions to ethical dilemmas that occur in their work and in their field of study
- Analyze, interpret, and critique advanced knowledge in structural and functional biology
- Effectively communicate research findings at scholarly fora and in the literature alike, both orally and in writing.
Our Vision
As part of the School of Medicine, the faculty and staff of the Biomedical Sciences Department will be respected by their peers for excellence in teaching, research, and clinical care. They will be distinguished for preparing graduates who achieve excellence in their chosen fields and who demonstrate an extraordinary compassion and commitment to the service of others.
