How to Apply to a Program

To be considered for a program, submit 1) your application for undergraduate admission and all required credentials; and 2) the program application with all additional required materials by January 10, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (in your local time zone). Some programs require an interview. The applications will be available in the student portal for eligible students beginning in November. 

Applying to Multiple Programs

Please apply to all programs you’re interested in and eligible for. Applying to multiple programs doesn’t impact the chances of being accepted. However, you can participate in only one program. Creighton Pre-Professional Scholars Program (CPPSP) is the only exception to this. For example, you could participate in both Honors and CPPSP, but not Honors and the Freshman Leadership Program. 

If you apply to more than one program, you’ll be able to rank your preferences after the application process is complete.
