No, prospective students do not need to be Catholic or practice any specific religious faith to attend Creighton University. As a private Jesuit institution, the university actively welcomes undergraduate and graduate students from all religious backgrounds, diverse philosophical viewpoints, and secular traditions. While campus life is deeply infused with Ignatian values—such as a commitment to ethics, social justice, and community service—spiritual participation in religious services is entirely voluntary for all enrolled members of the student body.
