Creighton University

Creighton's Blackwolves Battalion operates as the Army ROTC host for the greater Omaha area, with partner cadets from the University of Nebraska-Omaha and Bellevue University — Bellevue being immediately adjacent to Offutt Air Force Base, which creates a joint-service awareness in parts of the cadet corps that is unusual for an Army program. Creighton is a Jesuit Catholic university, and the Blackwolves Battalion carries that institutional emphasis on service-oriented leadership formation, which shapes the culture of officer development within the program. Omaha is geographically central in the Midwest, and the Nebraska Army National Guard offers active commissioning opportunities for cadets seeking in-state assignments. The program covers standard Military Science curriculum and commissions into Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve components. Scholarship opportunities include both national and campus-based awards, with Creighton providing additional institutional support. The battalion draws from three distinct academic communities that bring engineering, health sciences, and business perspectives to the cadet corps.
