Creighton is a very popular regional school boosting student population from within Nebraska and surrounding states and although known for its basketball scholarship programs, success in Creighton's academic programs can open up many opportunities, as I have known numerous Creighton students and graduates.
I called a representative at Creighton University to get some information about this degree.
Their new Doctor of Education in Leadership is meant to be inter-disciplinary, so graduates are able to apply the degree to multiple areas (education, health care administration/management, and business). They indicated that the cohort format students only take one class per term, but each course is only 8-weeks, so curriculum is pretty fast-paced.
Creighton has a reputation for delivering a quality education, and this degree program looks like an "A" from that perspective.
However, at $850/credit hour, the 60-credit program may make the affordability difficult, and their residency requires two 4-day visits to the Omaha campus, so that the time/cost of that is a factor as well.
This looks like an "A" program academically, but a "C" in terms of affordability, so I would give this a "B" overall.
