Creighton University

Creighton University admits approximately 65% of applicants, making it a less selective law school relative to the national average. Applicants with a strong undergraduate record and reasonable LSAT scores have a solid chance of admission. The school provides accessible entry into legal education for students building toward bar passage and professional practice. Enrolled students posted LSAT scores from 150 at the 25th percentile to 156 at the 75th percentile, a typical 6-point spread that reflects a fairly defined applicant profile. Applicants should focus on crafting a thorough application that demonstrates commitment to the legal profession.

Creighton University offers a lower cost of attendance relative to most ABA-accredited law schools. The full-time non-resident tuition is $0 per year, which is below average for ABA-accredited law schools. Living costs off campus are estimated at $23,400 per year. The lower tuition base means that even without scholarship funding, graduates face a more manageable debt burden compared to higher-cost peers. This cost advantage can be especially meaningful for students planning careers in lower-salary public service, government, or public interest law. Applicants should still compare total net cost carefully, accounting for fees and living expenses, when weighing options.

Scholarship funding at Creighton University is widely distributed: 89% of full-time students receive some form of grant aid. The modest median scholarship of $25,600 per year — ranging from $15,200 at the 25th percentile to $37,458 at the 75th percentile — indicates that merit and need-based awards are broadly available. This high grant prevalence suggests that applicants with above-median academic credentials have a realistic opportunity to reduce their cost of attendance meaningfully. Prospective students should request a scholarship estimate directly from the financial aid office and should not assume that the sticker price reflects what most students actually pay.
