Creighton is No. 1 in U.S. News Ranking

For the seventh year in a row, Creighton University is No.1 in U.S. News & World Report magazine’s rankings of Midwest Master’s universities. It is the 12th time in 14 years that Creighton University has ranked No. 1 in U.S. News & World Report magazine’s “America’s Best Colleges” edition.

Creighton was also recognized as No. 1 in the Midwest region as a “best value” university for giving students the best return on their tuition investment.

In the “Schools to Watch,” peer experts identified schools that are innovative and focused on the future and continuous improvement. Creighton ranked No. 5 in the Midwest.

“Academic excellence is a part of our mission and it is particularly rewarding to be acknowledged by the broader community for our academic excellence. It speaks volumes for the quality of our faculty,” said the Rev. John P. Schlegel, S. J., Creighton president.

The U.S. News ranking category, Universities-Master’s, reflects the scope of academic offerings, including a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs, and in Creighton’s case, doctoral programs. The criteria are academic reputation, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.

Creighton also is cited as outstanding by other publications like The Princeton Review and continues to receive rankings and honors for academics, community service, and student, faculty and staff accomplishments.
