Creighton makes it easy for admitted transfer students with sufficiently high grades (C or higher) earned at an accredited post-secondary institution to transfer credit.
To initiate the credit-transference process, please send all of your official college and/or university transcripts electronically. The college to which you apply — Arts and Sciences, Heider College of Business or Nursing — determines how each specific course transfers.
A maximum of 80 credit hours can be transferred toward a Creighton degree. To graduate from Creighton, you must complete at least 48 credit hours at Creighton.
Browse below to learn about each college’s transference process. We encourage you to get in touch with the transfer counselor for your intended college.
Many students come to Creighton with possible college credit to be applied to their Creighton degree. Creighton University awards university credit for certain scores on college-level examinations such as Advanced Placement (AP) exams, Cambridge International A-Level exams, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams, DANTES Standardized Subject Test (DSST) exams, and International Baccalaureate (IB) exams.
However, in accordance with the university Transfer Credit Policy, university credit will not be awarded for examinations covering remedial knowledge and skills that students should have acquired in high school.
Exam credit may be awarded for a specific Creighton University course or for elective credit. Exam credit may be awarded for a specific Creighton University course at the introductory level provided that the specific course does not have a course prerequisite that the student has not yet satisfied. In other cases, elective credit may be awarded according to the most current standards published by the university. Creighton University will award up to a total of 32 hours of exam credit to any given student. For more information, please consult your Dean’s Office.
Creighton is proud to award credit for sufficiently high:
Please review the exams we accept and the corresponding benchmarks for each:
College credits taken during high school will transfer to Creighton provided the student took the course through an accredited institution and passed with a grade of “C” or better. The Dean’s Office of the student’s college will review the course description of these classes and determine if it matches up to the requirements for a class at Creighton.
To be eligible for credit, you must request that the awarding institution send your official transcript directly to the Creighton college to which you are applying.
If the descriptions match, the student will receive the credit for that class at Creighton. If the descriptions don’t match, the credit will still likely come in but as elective credit. College credits are reviewed after the May 1st deadline for enrolling freshmen. Students should contact an admissions counselor with any additional questions.
