“They are more than a customer and a student to us,” Neuman says. “We see them as someone who is part of the same community and we’re preparing them for the next few decades. We’re not just giving them technical things to take away, but rather helping them become contributing members of the society who can still make money.”

“Most of our students are happy in their jobs, but are finding it a good time to get credentials to advance in their careers,” Neuman says. “Some are interested in switching jobs, others are figuring out what to do once they’re out of military life.”

To those who are considering Creighton’s online MBA program, the school says they are looking or students who demonstrate hard work and academic success. This can be done not just through grades, but also by taking more challenging courses, writing thoughtful personal statements, and asking colleagues and supervisors to write their required letters of reference.

“When prospective student applies, we ask what their goals are and where they want to go,” Neuman says. “We want to help students know how to choose the best paths.”
