Native American Studies at Creighton:
Native American Studies was initiated at Creighton University in the fall of 2002. We are the only Jesuit University in the world to offer this major. We are also the only University in Nebraska to offer Native Studies as a major. Our program is listed in the Guide to Native American Studies Programs in the United States and Canada, Robert M. Nelson, Editor and in the American Indian Education Guide (Creighton University - in .pdf format). Dr. Herb Grandbois was the first director of the program. He has been succeeded by Fr. Raymond Bucko, S.J.
