from the Class and Housing Reservation Form of Creighton Univ. This can be found on the Creighton Univ. website, but it took me a bunch of clicks to get there.

I want to be a Surgeon.. and so I am looking at different colleges specialized in the area of medicine. I was curious about Creighton and College of St. Mary's, but it said it was catholic. Do you have to be catholic to go there?

no you don't - just like you don't have to be LDS to attend BYU (in utah, hawaii or idaho). While discrimination based on religion is legal with private institutions, you just have to a) realize the ideology with which they emphasize and b) agree to and abide by any 'honor codes' or 'codes of conduct' rules they may have. Most will usually require some theology coursework to satisfy some part of the degree/program. It's not any different than state institutions requiring 'diversity' courses to 'broaden the horizons' of young people.
Creighton is a great school - even if you bristle as some of the things held sacred by the culture there, it's an amazing school to go to, especially if you want to be a surgeon. GL!

Of course!! I'm not Catholic and I'm planning on going to a Jesuit school in the fall. I believe that if you are a minority, then you might get more finanical aid considering the fact that the school wants to recruit minorities since most who apply there are Catholic.
