How Azimuth compares programs across colleges

Further analysis

Outcomes at Creighton University vary by field, and Azimuth's program rankings evaluate four-year earnings among completers, median debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. The university has 13 programs with published earnings data.

The degree mix is concentrated in three large families (Health Professions at 29.6% of bachelor's degrees awarded, Business at 28.6%, and Biological Sciences at 13.8%). The largest single program is Nursing (342 degrees awarded, with completers earning a median of $84,294 four years after completion), while the highest-earning program is Accounting (48 degrees a year, with completers earning a median of $95,837).

Award counts are degrees conferred in a single academic year, not distinct students, and program earnings cover federally aided completers four years after completion. The spread between the largest program's earnings and the highest-earning program's is one measure of how much the choice of field matters here.
