Creighton was also named among 32 universities in the nation in “Academic Programs to Look For” under Undergraduate Research/Creative Projects. This recognizes universities where students working independently or in small teams, mentored by a faculty member, do intensive and self-directed research or creative work that results in an original scholarly paper or other product that can be formally presented on or off campus.

‘Best Online Programs’ for 2015

Several Creighton University online programs have been ranked in the nation’s Top 20 for their respective categories in the fourth annual U.S. News World Report 2015 Best Online Programs . The Creighton online program categories recognized are: No. 16 in Best Online Bachelor’s Programs (B.S. in Leadership ); No. 12 in Best Online Graduate Business Programs (Master of Business Intelligence and Analytics and Master of Security Analysis and Portfolio Management ); and No. 11 in Best Online Graduate Education Programs (M.S. in Educational Leadership and M.S. in School Counseling and Preventive Mental Health ).

Online Programs Earn High U.S. News Rankings for Veterans

Creighton’s online bachelor’s degree program was ranked 15th, the online graduate business programs (excluding MBA) were ranked 12th and the online graduate education programs also ranked 11th, all out of 737 programs providing veterans with high-quality, flexible online education options. This is the third year U.S. News and World Report has issued rankings for Best Online Programs for Veterans.

To qualify for the Best Online Programs for Veterans rankings, an online degree program had to report participation in two key programs that offer educational benefits to people with military service. The rankings methodology requires programs to belong to institutions that are certified for the G.I. Bill and must also belong to schools participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program or to public institutions that charge in-state tuition for all out-of-state veterans.

“Colleges that Pay You Back” 2015

Creighton University is among the 200 colleges and universities profiled in Princeton Review’s new, “Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Best Value Colleges” and “What It Takes to Get In.” This book is an expansion of Princeton Review’s annual “Best Value Colleges.”

Creighton ranked No. 23 in the section on schools that make an impact. The 25 schools on the “Best Schools for Making an Impact” list were selected based on student ratings and responses to the survey questions covering community service opportunities at their school, student government, sustainability efforts and on-campus student engagement. Also taken into account was PayScale.com’s percentage of alumni from each school that reported that they had high job meaning.

“They are always willing to talk outside of class and offer suggestions about subjects of study that might make what is learned in the classroom more interesting and applicable to the individual,” said one student about the faculty at Creighton. “It’s clearly evident they are passionate about their subjects and genuinely care about the success of their students.”

Best Dispute Resolution Program

The Werner Institute at the Creighton University School of Law is ranked 14th in the 2016 U.S. News and World Report rankings for Best Dispute Resolution Programs.

The ranking puts Creighton s program on a footing with similar programs at Harvard University, Northwestern University and Georgetown University. As an interdisciplinary program guided by Ignatian values in settling conflict, the Werner Institute offers a cutting-edge approach to dispute resolution, said Patrick Borchers, J.D. professor of law and director of the Institute.

Rankings were based on nominations and votes from legal educators across the nation. Founded in 2005, thanks to a generous gift from the family of Creighton University alumna Gail Werner Robertson, the Werner Institute offers a Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution and a Graduate Certificate in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution. Classes are available both in-person on the Creighton campus and online.
