This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

it definitely does not have ND's academic brand by irishrock

The ND brand is outstanding. By no means, was I saying it wasn't. the Creighton brand is probably undervalued...their business school is excellent. But it is not at ND's level.


My daughter has been fortunate to get to really participate and by that I mean:
manage part of the endowment (They have a trading floor with 8 Bloomberg terminals)
lead the largest student run business symposium in the country
Go to Hong Kong/China for two weeks
go to NYC this past December for a week on Wall Street
Be taught by CFA's...Creighton has more CFA's on staff than any university in the world
Internships at some really great companies where she was able to earn good $ (she worked part time and made more than I made in my first full time real job) that was the advantage of working at a school in a city and one like Omaha which is very business minded.

I take nothing away from ND...who could? But Creighton gets it and is building/enhancing its brand far better than a SLU/Xavier/Marquette/Loyola. It's in the Midwest so flies under the radar.
