About this school
Creighton University is a private non-profit university located in Omaha, Nebraska. The campus participates in federal financial aid programs (Title IV), meaning students may use FAFSA, federal loans, and Pell Grants to help pay for eligible programs. Among its trade and career-focused offerings tracked in federal data, Creighton is credited with one program family: EMT & paramedic training. The university holds regional accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission, along with a number of specialized accreditors covering health and legal fields, though these apply mainly to its broader professional programs rather than the trade-program data reported here.
Federal Scorecard data reports a median debt of $25,000 among graduates and median earnings of $73,911 ten years after entry. Completion rate for this campus compared to the state average is not reported in federal data, though the state average completion rate for similar institutions is 61.0%. About 11.5% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Annual cost of attendance is not reported for this campus in federal data.
Because Creighton's federally tracked trade program count is limited to a single EMT & paramedic training pathway, this listing may be most useful to students specifically researching that program rather than a full range of vocational options. Given the university's large undergraduate enrollment (4,348) and academic setting, it may be less oriented toward short-term, adult career-changer formats than dedicated trade schools, though program length details are not reported here. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status and outcome data directly through the College Scorecard or by contacting the university.
