Creighton University Reviews

"Creighton University has a reputation of excellence and as a student I can see why. They have a rigorous curriculum that both prepares you and builds confidence in your capabilities. The support given from the faculty is phenomenal and the networking capability is endless. It is an entry-level doctorate program and I am very lucky and happy to be here. Amazing choice!"

"The physical therapy program at Creighton University has provided me with a phenomenal education thus far. The only con of the program is that the tuition is steep. However, I strongly believe that the pro's of the education I am receiving far outweigh the cons. The professors are passionate about the field of physical therapy and each is up to date on current issues and topics in the medical field. The faculty is readily available and eager to help students like myself succeed inside and outside of the classroom.Read Less"

"I love the flexibility and support this program offers. The professors are great. The workload is manageable and interesting. Class sizes are small so a lot of learning comes from active dialogue!"

"Creighton is a great masters program for both full-time and part-time students. Classes are held in the brand-new college of business by high-quality faculty and guest lecturers. Many of the students work full-time in the Omaha area and go to school in the evenings. If you are looking for a program with an active social life, this probably isn't the right school. Creighton provides a high-quality Jesuit education in a great city!"

"Creighton provides a quality MBA program, especially in the areas of Information Technology Management and Finance. I have been challenged especially in my finance classes, and the professors are very knowledgeable. I have also enjoyed applying my Christian values to business."

"I really like the partial on-line/partial campus aspect of the program. It makes it much easier to fit school into a busy life. The faculty are supportive and easily accessible. The major downside to this program is the cost but the school does have a good reputation. I did my undergrad here, got a job right out of school and am now back for more."

"As a career educator, I was somewhat reserved about participating in an online degree program; however, my experiences at Creighton were far and above more interactive and deeply personal than my three degrees earned in the traditional classroom from other private and public universities."

"I am attending the Family Nurse Practitioner MSN Program. It is a highly competitive program and well formed. They have increased the amount of online classes you can take with the MSN program, which has increased the availability of the program to distance areas. You started clinical rotations in second semester, which really helps you put your practice into work early on."

"Creighton University SOM is an excellent program that focuses on not only education but development of the individual as a person. I can honestly say I will become a better doctor having attended Creighton than another university."

"Creighton University was rated one of the nation's most "plugged in" campuses. Omaha is an affordable place to live and there's a lot of events, restaurants, and activities around the city. The area of the university is not considered the safest, but public safety does a good job keeping the campus secure"

"There are definitely ample resources for students to use for success in the classroom. The academic support staff cares about the students and will do as much as they can to help. The structure of some of the courses could use revamping, which I know some are in the process of doing."

"This program is rigorous and compels me to think in ways I haven't before. I highly recommend Creighton's leadership program because I have been supported from the moment I expressed interest in the college and through each of my classes. I know help and encouragement are only an email or phone call away."

"PROS: Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions offers not a Masters but a Clinical Doctorate in the field of Occupational Therapy (as well as a Post-Professional Doctorate program). Since the vision now (as stated by the American Occupational Therapy Association) is that all OTs will have their doctorate by 2025, this is especially helpful for future OTs currently seeking higher education. Furthermore, the professors are not only passionate and concerned with each student, most are still practicing therapists and therefore can offer current information or advice to their students. As for lectures, the material is difficult but adequate for a graduate student; students are graded and tested accordingly as the school has high hopes for each professional student. Students are also given their own laptops in which exams and notes are to be taken on, which is extremely helpful in terms of simplicity and organization. CONS: Creighton University is a private school and therefore, tuition can get quite pricey. Although this is not the fault of the school, there is also limited diversity within my program as well.Read Less"

"The online pharmD program is extremely challenging but opens a door to many that would otherwise be impossible. The cost and annual trips to Omaha for labs are a negative. The quality of the education is outstanding."

"Some areas did not apply to me since I'm taking classes online thus the rating. Any degree you seek is going to require work and if it's important to you then the work isn't going to be a major concern."

"I highly recommend Creighton's EdD in Leadership. The professors support the students and the coursework is immediately adaptable to one's profession."

"Pro- Creighton established the nation's first Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree and is recognized as one of the top medical universities in the world. They employ high quality professors, many of whom are recognized as FAOTA (Fellow of the American Occupational Therapy Association). Con- As a Jesuit institution, Creighton's tuition is expensive compared to other OT programs."

"While I do greatly enjoy the freedom that the Liberal Studies program has in allowing us to take courses outside of the specified program, the courses offered within the program are not cohesive. The Pros: you are able to take courses at a relaxed pace, which is important considering that majority of students at this level are working full time jobs and taking care of families. Courses and the professors are relatively flexable and there is not feeling of needing to rush to complete your graduate program within 3 years. Cons: the underlying theme of "Understanding the World" falls short as there are only in-class readings of texts, much of them being literature from high school reading. The program is considered to be one of the adult degree programs and is charged at a lower rate, however, it is still quite expensivel for the course-load and manner of the program.Read Less"

"I love the small community feel of the law school. The professors are expected to be on campus 8 hours a day and when they're not in class they're in their offices. The school has an "open door policy." The professors keep their doors open whenever they're free and students are encouraged to just walk on in and talk with them. Out of all the schools I visited, this was the one that seemed most committed to excellence in academics. The administration is friendly and efficient, the professors are brilliant, the career development efforts are superb (especially if you want to practice in the midwest), and the campus is beautiful. If you're not religious, don't worry about the Jesuit thing; it really doesn't impact your day-to-day experience (other than the fact that it's a wet campus). My one area of disappointment so far is that the professors don't seem to be as demanding in upper-level courses, but many students would consider that a pro.Read Less"

"There are many pros and cons to the distance pathway PharmD program at Creighton University. The obvious pro is that you don't have to move to attend classes on campus, which is perfect for those students who have families and/or jobs and are unable to move. Another pro is that the distance cohort becomes a tight knit group, even though we are spread out all over the US. Additionally, the school has many supports in place for distance students. The cons consist of missing out on campus activities, and having "live" class time. Additionally, the access to professors is not quite as easy, however, they have all been very accommodating and helpful.Read Less"
