From CU Pres:
“Creighton’s distinctive offerings and complexity across our nine schools and colleges has been recognized by the prestigious Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. Carnegie has added the University to its new category of Doctoral/Professional universities from our current ranking as a Master’s university.
As a result, Creighton’s ranking on various recognition lists, such as U.S. News & World Report, will soon change. The University has been listed under Midwest Regional Universities, and we have been No. 1 in that category for 16 consecutive years, but we are now included in the highly regarded National Universities category, which should be a new source of pride for the entire Creighton community.
The change by Carnegie was the result of the creation of an entirely new category of doctoral universities that offer at least 30 professional practice doctorates – such as MD, JD, DMD, PharmD, etc. – across a minimum of two programs. There are 123 private and 29 public universities in the new category with an average enrollment of just below 10,000 students each.”
