offerings allows Creighton to reach out and provide a Jesuit education to those beyond the Creighton campus,” said Timothy R. Lannon, S.J., president of Creighton University. “More than 50 percent of our graduate students are now enrolled in online programs. Our online bachelor’s degree completion programs also provide flexibility for our adult students.” Having nine schools and colleges on one campus provides Creighton with a distinct advantage – the ability to create programming that combines expertise from multiple fields. Graduates with this interdisciplinary view of the world bring sought-after skill sets to the workplace. For example, Creighton’s online Interdisciplinary Doctorate in Leadership attracts senior leaders from a variety of public and private service sectors.
Launched in 2011 with 20 students, today enrollment is nearing 300 students, making it one of the largest doctoral programs in leadership in the country. Creighton’s perennial top ranking among Midwestern regional universities by U.S. News & World Report makes it attractive for undergraduates, adult learners wishing to complete their college degrees and graduate and professional students. Providing the same type of quality education through an online platform makes a Creighton education more accessible to students regardless of where they live. “Creighton has a long-standing reputation for academic excellence,” said Fr. Lannon. “We’ve stayed true to that tradition as we’ve moved into the online environment.”
