I enrolled in Capella because the courses were cheap, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The first class I enrolled in was the Ethics course. I used to teach ethics, so I figured this would be a breeze.I was absolutely shocked to see how much wrong information the university has in the course work. They pass off what is clearly whimsical opinions about a situation and present it as an ethical framework. One item I remember well, under Divine Command Theory, said eating veal is okay because the Bible says we may eat all living things. I clicked report a problem with this question at the bottom of the screen and quoted Leviticus 11, where it clearly says some foods are unclean.In other places in the course, the answers on the tests completely contradict the actual coursework, and its literally impossible to get the answers right because you just have to guess at what the author happened to think at the moment SHOULD be the right answer, completely irrespective of the ethics or philosophy.I tried contacting the university several times by reporting problems with questions. They didnt offer any valid explanation, and basically responded with either weak justifications, or simply repeating the answers to the questions I reported.Im seriously wondering how on earth they got accredited... also, if this is the ethics course, I cant imagine what the other courses will be like.

From the beginning of my Masters level school search, Capella stood out. I had a great recommendation from a friend already, but in researching complete online programs to work with my schedule, Capella checked all of the boxes I needed. I had a wonderful experience with my admissions counselor and continue to have great interactions with all communication. I am happy with all faculty thus far and feel that I am learning exactly what I need for my future as a school counselor. The course load is what I expected it to be and the time I spend on classwork is time well spent. I feel very confident that I will be prepared to enter the field of school counseling when I graduate. The very first thing Capella does once you are enrolled is to start you in a class to help navigate your program and get you familiar with the online format. This helped immensely and calmed my nerves for entering into a graduate program online. I feel very well cared for and have not had a negative experience yet! I am 1 year into my program.

I had a great experience at Capella University. I completed my masters in Medical Health Administration and returned for my masters certificate in Public Health. My professors were fantastic and the school sets you up for success. It was a lot of hard work and I graduated with distinction. I feel that the school, classes and professors contributed to my great experience.

When I first started signing up for my MBA I advised them that I had just graduated with my bachelors degree. My goal was to start August 5, and I submitted all my necessary paperwork and cooperated as such. When it got to my transcripts I was advised I could not start because the conferral date was not on the transcripts. The enrollment specialist told me to reach out to my previous school. I did and it was a hassle. I called the enrollment specialist at Capella to advise of the updates to only find out that Capella’s registrar team had already been in contact with my school. I wanted to start on the 5th as it was very discouraging to go through the process to be turned away at last minute. 1). Total waist of time as I took time out of my day to complete orientation and do what they advised of me. 2) I asked to speak with a supervisor who was very vague and could not provide the information needed. 3) I again called Capella to try and escalate the situation, but the manager never returned my call. I feel as if they had me sign up because they were the ones to get paid for each student to enroll and failed to educate me properly in the beginning, which is very misleading and discouraging. Since no one wanted to comply and take responsibility I will be escalating this to the BBB as this is not my fault and I should had been able to start in the promised time given and should have been educated properly.

As an adult learner pursing an advanced degree I enrolled in Capella University with a great deal of apprehension. I was greeted by an enrollment counselor who assisted with my enrollment process and it was an outstanding experience. Every step of the way the faculty was supportive and wanted all students to be successful. My doctoral project mentor was absolutely amazing and provided the support necessary every step of the way for my success. The collaboration with other professionals through the program helped to develop friendships beyond school, some of us were able to meet at graduation. The graduation ceremonies and activities were outstanding and the highest quality. My experience with Capella University was memorable and has allowed me to achieve my life long goal of both teaching and nursing. An outstanding educational program.

Worst school to deal with. I started school here and had to figure everything out on my own. After a semester, my wife lost her job and we moved states. I didnt attend for a year. When we settled, i started back up, but was forced to reenroll. I was then told that since I was still paying off my tuition from prior semester, I cant register for classes until late September (wasting whole summer semester). Due to timing, i enrolled at a different college to be able to continue with school faster. They are not refusing to release my transcript to my new school due to the same reason. I even offered to roll the remaining balance into my student loan, and they refused that too. Have been completely unwilling to even listen to my requests. Will definitely not be continuing my education here!

I absolutely love the fact that I registered for the MSW program last year. It was the best decision Ive made since completing my bachelors degree. I love the online learning aspect and feel that it provides me with just enough of what I need and nothing of what I dont. The only reason not to give it five stars is because the reformatted the classrooms (online) and they are much harder to navigate on the screen.

As a student and Ambassaor at Capella University, Ive had nothing but great experiences. The faculty have always been really great and super helpful. I highly recommend Capella if you are seeking a quality education and have a busy schedule or need the flexibility of online schooling. The schoolwork is great and youre not bombarded with too much work at one time. Everything is paced just right.

As a graduate Scholar my experience with Capella University have been exceptional. People think just because Capella University is an online program its not viable. However, online programs hold the same criteria as brick and mortar institutions. Im Capella proud. 🎓

I received my M.S. in Human Services in 2012. Staff was wonderful, helpful and supportive. I made an error in enrollment and they quickly refunded my tuition even after the deadline. The website is user friendly. Professors care about the students and the learning environment. Expectations are high and classes are fulfilling. I loved the writing intense program.I highly recommend Capella University. Worth every minute.

The online Post Graduate Certification program in Applied Behavior Analysis is outstanding!! The staff is very friendly and the school as a whole is very concerned about every student. They are committed to making sure we receive the necessary knowledge needed to help start or further our careers. And it was definitely an honor to be chosen as an Ambassador for Capella University and I will forever represent with dignity! I encourage anyone who is seeking to start or further their education to give Capella University a try. I promise that they will give you the tools you need to succeed! #I❤CapellaUniversity

Registering and navigating my way through the Capella experience was not what I expected to be. Not having a lot of experience doing education online, Capella made it very easy and they were extremely supportive along the way. Never did I feel that I was going it alone. The educational experience is another story altogether. The professors are tremendous.Its hard to believe that I am almost done with my Masters in Human Resource Management.

I enrolled in Capella University last February and the experience has been so great so far! From the professors, advisers and financial aid have helped me a great deal in my academic career. It is a great school to attend!

I am on my second year as a MFT graduate student at Capella. I was really worried about doing an online counseling degree but am so glad I chose Capella. The professors are amazing! I have to required residencies where I go on campus for a week and we listen to lectures, role play, and learn important therapeutic tools. I am feeling more and more confident as the end of my coursework and internship approach. I am so grateful for Capella and how it has prepared me to enter the world of counseling!

I am a Doctor of Philosophy recipient from the Harold Abel School of Social and Behavioral Science; Counseling Studies at Capella University and will be attending my graduation commencement ceremony in March 2016. Capella University is an awesome school for those who are dedicated to their learning experience and are willing to work hard for their degree. Online schooling is not for everyone. It requires a lot of time and dedication, however the professors at Capella are ready and willing to assist you through your journey. They have specialized knowledge and experience in the course of study they teach. I am very satisfied with my Capella experience. I would and have recommended them to other learners.

This is my second masters degree, and Capella University has been amazing. The university offers scholarships to the students, and this was not offered at my previous online university. The professors are very responsive to the students needs. They are available during the week in the online classroom platform. Capella is highly recommended in meeting ones educational goals.

As a busy Manager, Mother, Daughter, and Grandmother - I appreciate the guided plan and adult learning environment. The courses are geared toward the adult learner and help me achieve my goals. I love the mobile app so I can check discussion posts on the go.

Deciding to enroll into Capella University was both a great and frightening experience for me. I was excited to go back to school but yet frightened of not adapting to online learning. Communicating with the great professors put my fears to rest. I am currently in my masters program for Information Assurance and Security and loving every minute of it. So, my advice to anyone ready to take that next step i would highly recommend Capella University be that stepping stone.

At the beginning of your journey, settle in your mind that Capella will not give it to you, but the university has dedicated individuals who will help you reach completion if you are willing to stay the course and work until the end. Plan ahead and yet take each week, each post, each major assignment, and your dissertation, thesis,, whatever applies, one project at a time. The weeks will turn into months, the months years, and soon you will know success and be transformed into a critical thinking, more well-rounded individual than you could have even surmised with so much to offer professionally and personally..

My experience with Capella was great while receiving my BA so I decided to continue and get my MBA as well. Biggest mistake!! The course instructors are rude and offer no help whatsoever. There is no way to reach out to them besides sending a message and they have up to 3 days to respond. The college has strict policies that they hold the students to but let instructors slide and they do not back up there students at all. They give you an advisor who attempts to be helpful but you can rarely reach them and always receive help from someone different every time you call in. They only care about money and their instructors. Worst experience ever I would not recommend anyone get their graduate degree from this institution.

I absolutely love this program. I have had the most understanding instructors who provide real world insight to the career path that students are pursuing. I have had some truly amazing classmates, so learning from one another has been great. I was able to enroll quickly, and my academic adviser was able to help me get approved for exceptions to move forward in my clinical program even faster. One thing that could be improved is the internship process; the support team is great and responds promptly, but awaiting approval after everything on behalf of you and your site supervisor is completed could be faster.

Capella University is very helpful when it comes to learning. They work with you to make sure you are getting the best experience possible. I would recommend Capella to anyone going back to school or anyone that wants to continue their education at their own pace.

My PhD journey has been the most rewarding challenge I have ever undertaken. Enrolling at Capella was the right decision--it has allowed me to expand my worldview and meet people from all over the country and from many backgrounds. The program is rigorous and I have felt supported every step of the way.

I absolutely love Capella. I have had experiences with other colleges and this by far is the best. I wish I didnt have to go through the mud to get to shinier pastures but Im glad I have found the gold mine. Capella by far has taken me on the best journey and I cant wait to travel more. There have only been about two (2) things that I dont care for but they have been there for me every step of the way. I couldnt recommend a better school. You go at your place, they really get involved with what they teach, staff is absolutely wonderful. I couldnt be happier.

So far so good. I am a full time father and hold a full time job. Capella has made earning a degree online very manageable and achievable for those willing to put in the time and effort.

I came to Capella seeking a graduat degree in psychology. My undergrad was done online so this format was not new to me and I came with some general expectations. Capella met none of them.First of all, the blackboard is a hot mess. My first assignment had a rubric, a template, and instructions but, for whatever reason, none of them were found in the same place. Hunting information goes from difficult to nearly impossible if youre using the app which mobile friendly is a severe understatement for.The instructors and the assistants were not on the same page. I had an assistant correct me in the comments of a discussion post for not doing something the instructor, very literally, discouraged us from doing in the very same discussion.I cant elaborate on everything or Id be here all day. Those were my largest frustrations that made me run away within the first 3 weeks, however other honorable mentions on the list include, but are not limited to:-Lack of specific information on the site, then again if its anything like blackboard maybe I just couldnt find it.-conflicting information in coursework.-down right incorrect information in coursework because theyd rather stress opinion over facts.-cost, which honestly wouldnt have been an issue if the education and establishment itself wasnt so inadequate.-the credit system. Earning 5 credits at a time looks great on paper until you realize that the unconventional breakdown of their courses makes transferring difficult.

The content of the classes are, if you stay on top of it, offers so much opportunity to learn and understand and develop as a professional and as a student. As for the faculty and staff, they are a joke. They are for profit and the bottom line to them is the bottom dollar, it doesnt matter about the students lives. I wouldnt recommend this school to ANYONE! Amelia W.

Even though the classes were flexible, the materials, teachers and technology are good, but the flex path is NOT flexible at all. If your instructor takes over the required time to grade your assessments even by one day, you will be charged for an entire billing cycle.The only answer they give you is Im sorry, well get back to you. But they never do.I just finished my degree, but it doesnt feel right, now, since my instructor went over, into the next billing cycle. A degree would really cost you ...

I had almost daily contact from an advisor until I completed enrollment. Not once after that was I able to reach a counselor, nor did instructors returns calls or emails. Absolutely no support or guidance was offered after they had my money. I tried to reach someone about unenrolling and did not get a single call returned until it went into a new billing cycle. The school told me I owed them the fees even though I had not been engaged with a class since a week before the end of the first billing session and hadn’t been able to reach anyone to discontinue! This school is a SCAM!!! BEWARE!

I am part of the Doctorate program and it seems like a new language.It seems memorization is a part of language learning, and the most crucial components for many languages are nouns and verbs if you need to express basic needs. Learning how to conjugate, word order, and other word classes comes along the way, some of it following set rules/guidelines while other are exceptions needing to be remembered instead. Capella University is such a language and school.

If your dream is to have to pay someone thousands of dollars to teach yourself and earn a piece of paper that is worthless in the real world, this is the school for you. I mistakenly took a chance on this waste of funding, because my employers were associated with this school for advancement. Except for putting me into greater debt (it was great for that) the education I received here was: Quality doesnt matter. If anything its finest contribution attempting to ruining my chances to get into a better school when I withdrew. I have a theory that their professors are paid to put good reviews on websites, because I know very few students, who care about advancement, who have good things to say about them.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in 2014 and am now close to finishing my Master’s and I just started in February 2019. I find some of the negative comments very interesting. First, Flexpath is extremely flexible. You literally set your own timeline so yes, if you have kids or a job, you are still accountable for you. Second, you only pay a set price every 12 weeks. As many (or as little) classes you can take in that time is up to you. Simple. If you take the time to fully understand the process, curriculum and support offered, there is nothing hidden and nobody to blame for incompetencies except for yourself. This format doesn’t work for everyone. If self paced, self taught is not your thing, then maybe a traditional university setting would be more suitable. To each their own.

My experience has be terrible. I first had the rudest admissions advisor. Then the school requested a thousand explanations for my nationally accredited school. In their request, they sent broken links. After all their demands my 3.0 GPA was denied. Terrible experience. If this is how the beginning is, I am fearful of the actual school experience.

I am currently working on my second degree with Capella and this time it is my doctorate degree. As a doctoral learner I love how Capella staff and professors never leave you by yourself and always treat you like you are not in it alone. My adviser and my mentor are always attentive, , encouraging and supportive. Making a decision to become a Capella learner was a great decision but an even better one to obtain my doctorate degree.

My experience at Capella was a positive one. Capella is a school of excellence in every aspect. All encounters with faculty and staff were always professional. The school culture was to support and help learners every day and in every way. I have only praise for the Capella experience.

I had a great and realistic experience so far in my General IT PhD program. I had a very attentive and personalized on boarding, and the flexibility of pursuing the course work online was helpful for a professionally working parent to balance the work life and education. The dissertation seminar prepared me in the selection of the research topic and writing the research plan for dissertation. Now in dissertation phase, I am guided in completing the chapters of my dissertation by an experienced mentor. Hoping to complete this phase and get my PhD soon.

Ive been going to this school since 2008. I graduated with a MS in Psychology in 2012, and I am currently working towards my PhD. This is a great school. It is regionally accredited and I have personally found the school to be well respected. I was concerned when I first started with this school because the reputation that most online schools had at the time. Having a degree has certainly had a positive impact on my life. Searching for quality employment and promotions at work have correlated with my education achievements at Capella. I am glade I chose Capella to pursue my graduate education. For those who have had a negative experience...education isnt for everyone. If your expecting a free ride, then this school probably isnt for you.

Capella has been an outstanding experience for me so far! The course format promotes the ability to adapt and learn new concepts fluidly. Discussions provide a means to collaborate with fellow learners and push research beyond the courseroom. Most recently, I have participated in a course that encouraged group work and generated a very team-oriented atmosphere. You dont feel like it is a solo experience. Instead, you feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself. I encourage everyone to pursue an education. Furthermore, I suggest starting this journey with Capella!

I am a current Doctoral learner with Capella and I love this school. Everyone is so helpful from the application process to my dissertation phase. If youre seeking a school thats in it for your academic success and beyond then this is the school for you.

I am thoroughly pleased with Capella University (online) and their staff. I will be graduating next year with my Bachelors in Business Administration. I have attended Capella for almost 2 years and during my time I have only had 2 issues that were resolved in no time at all. I would recommend Capella to anyone that does not prefer a traditional classroom/lecture setting.

I was looking at several schools for my Masters degree and when I sat down with a professor from my Undergrad studies, Capella was the best option for me. We compared several schools and Capellas Clinical Psychology program was one of the best. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience at Capella and all the staff members I have come into contact with have been awesome.The only reason I did not give a 5 star review was recently I contacted my advising team regarding comparing my classes with South Carolinas required classes for licensure requirements and I have yet to hear back. It has been over a week since I submitted my email.I would highly recommend Capella to anyone looking to forward their education.

I have a family of 7, a full time job, and needed to be able to pursue my education while making sure that I handled all of my other responsibilities. Im glad that Capella helped me to accomplish this! The wonderful faculty, positive residency experiences, and overall flexibility allowed me to reach me dreams in a real way. Id recommend it anyone hoping to reach the aspirations in their heart and still be able to take on day to day life.

I am very happy with Capella and my team at the school. Online learning is not for everyone and it requires serious discipline. With that said, I’ve never had an experience where you can text your admissions counselor, your academic advisor, AND financial aid!!! Wow! Was I spoiled. I did have some challenges with my enrollment. I was in default status with an old student loan I didn’t know was out there. I thought I paid them off. When I finally got my clearance letter from DOE, the financial aid office got my package done the very next day. I woke up at 6 am and had to approve my aid! FAST! By 8 am (my time EST) I had a text from the financial aid office telling me it was done.I’ve had no difficulty with the instructors. If for some unknown reason that you couldn’t reach your instructor, there are teacher aides (doctoral candidates) there for help or to lend an ear.My academic advisor is the best. She knows my goals and makes them happen. No one enrolled me in classes I didn’t want. We made a clear plan of what I’m doing and when. I did make a class change and was done very easily with no problems.My admission counselor was with me every step of the way and didn’t pass me off until I was comfortable with my academic advisor.The library and resource tools could not be better. I attended University of Phoenix for one semester. God, that was the worst experience EVER! No support or contact. Capella has been a breath of fresh air!Each person has different needs and different expectations. Capella has been there for me!

As a working adult learner returning to coursework and working full time, I appreciated the support network, the convenience of working in the courseroom as my schedule permitted, and learning with such a diverse group of people. That diversity, in particular, gave me the opportunity to learn about multiple contexts which was invaluable in helping me to grow as a learner. Additionally, I had the flexibility to choose from multiple paths, something that was unavailable in the area where I live. The nearest university would have been a 40 mile drive a few times a week and at least 6-10 hours in a classroom creating a schedule that would have made it challenging for me to complete the degree. I know people who struggled because it required you to be self-regulated, but we were given calendars and other tools to help with that. It was a great experience for me.

The administrative staff and faculty at Capella University have made it so very easy for me to achieve my PhD. It took no time for me to register, arrange financial aid, and get started. I think the process took me a lunch-hour to do, overall. Then, the staff. During this journey, the staff has been so very supportive, professional, helpful. I have had challenges - which make the journey rewarding - but they were all challenges that were meaningful towards my experience; not challenges with a difficult registration, payment, or classroom interaction experience. Love and would recommend this university for advanced degrees to anyone who is serious about their education and can flourish with a quality experience.

DO NOT choose Capella. This university is unethical and a disgrace to people who are looking for an online education with their busy lives. I turned to Capella looking for a way to take online courses and graduate with a Bachelors degree as a full time worker and mom. I wanted to receive a degree at my own pace and easy to work with. That was NOT the case here.Amanda Collins my enrollment counselor is unhelpful and sets you up for disaster. She is money hungry and purposely will not give you deadline information so she can most likely receive commission. The university automatically enrolls you in a course... (funny how that works), classes begin and then you find yourself struggling to maneuver through an intro course. As a first timer at online courses, I found Amanda unhelpful and the course set up was not easy. One thing Amanda Collins will never tell you is that you are responsible for 25% of Capellas UNREASONABLE tuition if YOU do not drop within 2 weeks. Other universitys REASONABLE ones at that, will never even let you into a course without payment/ or a payment plan. I never received any invoice via email or at home. They make it SO easy for you to miss deadline and then end up with a large bill after not even enjoying or learning from the class. Amanda was well aware that I did not enjoy the course and didnt even bother to let me know about a penalty.After 6 months, I received an awful collections invoice for 677 dollars approx. And now here I am trying to dispute those charges with one woman enrollment counselor, I believe her name is Emma, being rude and just on the phone and telling me Amanda wasnt available. Minutes later Amanda Collins was suddenly available and immediately had a bad attitude and couldnt be bothered. I kindly asked Amanda to please transfer me to a supervisor on her end since our conversation was going in circles and she transferred me to the business department......again. She unfortunately now must realize that her communication was poor and not fair to me. The enrollment counselors that I spoke with are extremely unprofessional and could care less about you and your side.Do yourself a favor and choose wisely before committing to any online university. Your enrollment counselor is your key communication and a window into the university. Amanda Collins enrolled me into a course BEFORE I had any idea how many courses I would need to take at Capella and pricing.Its very unfortunate that Amanda ruined my online experience for me and from reading others reviews, she has done the same to them.

I loved when I was a student at Capella. My first colloquium was a major eye opener as to how many students were online. This session can be over whelming. Finding away to offer comfort to new students would be a suggestion. Maybe setup an initial small meeting with students upon arrival to the sessions would be an idea.

I would not recommend this school to anyone. It is convenient as its online and the coursework is not too bad if you keep on top of it. The faculty and staff are useless and not supportive at all. I could never reach anyone and when I did I got the run around.

Capella has the most encouraging staff who wants to see you succeed. The professors are by far, the #1 instructors that never seem to get annoyed with any questions about assignments. I am enjoying my journey here at Capella and would not consider switching colleges any time soon. :)

Deciding to enroll in Capellas FlexPath Program was a difficult decision at first due to being so accustom to the traditional in person, classroom bases schooling. A little over a year into now, that once difficult decision became one of the best decisions I have ever made! The program allows a full time working adult to complete school on their time and the flexibility allows for those unexpected events life sometimes throws at you. I would highly recommend Capella, it has truly been a learning experience not only with the course material but with life!

Im currently obtaining my masters in nonprofit management and leadership. The university has everything you could think of for an online university. The staff us amazing, helpful and quick to respond to any questions. The courses and straight forward and its a quick 10 weeks of school and 3 weeks off.

This school was introduced to me in 2016. I applied and got accepted and started January of 2017. It was the best decision I could have ever made for myself and my son. I am constantly interested in the class work especially covering my field! Is it expensive? Of course it is, all colleges are. Am I going to be owing money for awhile? Yep!! But nothing beats the BEST education out there! I highly recommend this school.

Be very careful attending this school. There are a few instructors who really care about your success. Then you have some who sit behind key strokes and dont care about nothing but a salary. I made the biggest mistake of my life attending this online school. I regret paying them a nickel let along the time to hear about their programs. Try Walden University!!

Capella is a wonderful academic facility that allows a person to go along in his or her degree program at the pace that best suits them and the schedule they have in life. While the University is not affiliated with Virginia banking for student loans FA directs to Sallie Mae first as many students use them. The experience is enlightening and the Masters program is thorough for those willing to invest in self and not simply get by. Takes commitment to follow through...quitting is not an option!! Striving toward LCPC with pride @ Capella

This university has been a blessing. You leave with a fantastic degree and true joy knowing that the educators and fellow graduates will ne there for you in the future. Thank you Capella for making dreams a reality-@Aleisha Adorni

Currently my husband, as well as muliple peers I work with are enrolled in various masters programs - and by far I am the most vocal and outspoken in support of my program. From the beginning when I started working with my enrollment counselor to my current advisor, I have never gotten anything below 100% support from student resources. So far Capella has given me a fabulous experience returning to school.

I had my doubts on e-learning and to be transparent, I had to get used to it. However, how the courses are set up and the support network is great. I will be finishing early 2018 and I feel like I started yesterday. Capella made it fun and easy.

Capella offers the adult learner flexibility, convenience, and a variety of learning formats. What impresses me about Capella is that it offers state-of-the-art on-line education in a consumer-oriented way. Capella offers its students just-in-time tools and resources that are engaging, developmental, and marketable!

I have learned so much during my time here and love the classroom content although very much intimidated. If you are considering attending somewhere where the work is not challenging, then steer clear of this school. But if you want to receive a great education where you are challenged to actually offer up scientific-worthy work then this is the school for you. It is also nice to be in school with other grown-ups who have the same mindset. Of course every school has their slackers, but at the end of the day, as with anything, you get out what you put in. Great school and I hope it stays this way, especially with the dire collective state of education in our modern world.

Faculty staff are extremely dry and very unprofessional in their email etiquette. In fact, they have an entire tutorial dedicated to email etiquette, yet their very own chair will not follow it. I didnt even enroll, even though I took their doctoral orientation in 3 hours (7 hours ahead of schedule), and achieved an overall score of 92%, and even after trying to be polite, the chair program still refused to be polite to a potential new doctoral candidate, and engage in a professional manner. Imagine if you were a student, and stuck with financial aid, and had no choice but to stick it out. As an MBA, and an industry professional with over 20 years industry experience, I would highly suggest you move onto another school.

I have been studying on the MSC Mental Health counseling program since 2016 and have also been an ambassador for Capella since then.There are mostly excellent instructors on the program which is high quality and stands out!Over all the University is very supportive,if you have personal issues they will assist in referring you to relevant services.My faculty advisor is also supportive and advocates information pertinent to careers in counseling.Capella is a good University and listening to its students needs raises the standard!

I love how easy it was to become a student at Capella University. They do everything to set you up for success and teach you the necessary skills needed to perform well at your career. They have a variety of programs for the social sciences but many opportunites to get a graduate degree too. I finished my B.S. in psychology and I am in my last year for getting my graduate degree in mental health counseling.

I attended this school for a year, and I was withdrawn from the school due to a financial aid issue. My academic standing was good here. I paid off my financial aid balance and attempted to re-enroll. It has been a nightmare. From conflicting information from my Enrollment Counselor to long waiting periods for simple decisions, it really has been such a horrible waste of time. They make you request to re-enroll, wait days, complete a new application, send in a resume, answer three random questions, and then wait days for you to find out if you will actually be admitted, and lets be honest...its a for-profit online university that is definitely going to admit anyone willing to pay. So just to be clear, what has given this school is a combination of their re-enrollment process, the confusing information I have received along the way, and the self imposed wait times. For a returning student who had good academic standing, getting back into school should not be this hard.

I am more than satisfied with Capella University! I took a long break from school, I thought I would have a difficult time getting back in the groove of things. I am doing a great job with my courses and learning a lot at my own pace. I do not have much time to travel to a campus, and the online school is great for my busy schedule. I am able to jump in complete my assignments, and move on with my busy schedule.

I liked Capella because I could set my times of the day to study and submit my work. I equally enjoyed interacting with my peers.Most of the professors were very interactive and helped me become the distinguised Scholar that I am today.

Jump Start Your Career Here! Im sorry for those who have had bad experiences. I believe an education is what you make of it. Some say that courses are self taught, I dont see it that way. I see the assignments, discussions and reading assignments as apart of our learning. If an individual wants to believe they taught themselves, then so be it. However, I do not see it that way. I learn from my peers, and some instructors are better than others, but I have learned from the Capella instructors as well.I am near the end of my graduate degree and I have grown, learned and developed as a result of Capellas instructors. The best part of this degree is the intensives that are required. This is where the rubber meets the road (so-to-speak). If one is able to endure to this level, then they are cut out for the program and will accomplish his or her goals.I love learning at my own pace - as fast or as slow as I deem.

My experience was wonderful. I learned a lot about topics that affect the healthcare industry today and found, through extensive research that was required for my classes, outstanding resources that I use in my job every day. The professors were enthusiastic and very receptive to questions or concerns. Remember like everything one does in life, you get out of it what you put in it. There are plenty of opportunities to do extensive research, collaboration and most importantly, learn about new objectives, but this requires initiative and commitment on the part of the student. Overall a great experience for me because I took these courses seriously and wanted to learn.

I absolutely LOVE Capella! I got my BA from a brick and mortar University, so attending an online school was a shade intimidating. The transition began with problems getting everything from my BA college. The enrollment counselor helped resolve the issue and I completed my MS in 2015. I have continued with Capella for my PhD and the experience remains the same. Everyone has been helpful, understanding and simply, AMAZING! There were two professors that I thought were not up to what I have experienced there, but all schools have a few faculty members that dont quite seem to be on the same page.I highly recommend Capella! I am thru the coursework for my doctorate and will soon be writing my dissertation. I could not have done it without the school, the faculty or everyone Ive encountered at Capella!

The program is self-taught. The professors are instructors and do very little of that in general. There are many disparities involved in the program and very little efforts are made to rectify them. If you play by their rules, do not question anything, turn in your work and keep your mouth shut, then you will do fine and receive the necessary degree in order to advance your career. Otherwise find a different program. The only positive about Capella is that the information is valid and can be valuable, but you are by no means allowed to question any of it and it is up to you to do all the work anyway. THERE IS ZERO SUPPORT SYSTEM - And for an online program that is A HUGE DOWNFALL!!!!!!!!

The joys and excitement of education should not be an end but a beginning. Capella University reminded me of that when I enrolled for my Ph.D. in Business with a specialization in leadership. I will not tell those who read this review that the journey is easy; it is not! But I will tell you that the joys and excitement of success are real. You own your educational destiny and the hard work you put into it will make an astonishing difference in your life and the lives of your family, friends, and co-workers.That is the vision of Capella University. The faculty, the advisors, the counselors, and all administrative support staff will stand with you to help you through the hard times and to celebrate the victories of your educational successes. Your coursework will prepare you for each step of the journey and your fellow learners will draw from your strength, share their own with you, and together you will find the future bright with the joys and excitement of continued education.Capella University was recommended to me by a friend, a mentor, and an alum. I will forever be grateful for that recommendation and for the enrollment counselor who walked with me in my early times of decision. I am in my last few milestones of the dissertation process and have found the core faculty to be passionate about sharing their knowledge, supporting learners for success, and walking side-by-side with all who accept the challenge of this journey to share in the commencement of achievement of the Capella program. I will always hold Capellas vision and mission for its learners in high esteem for truly this school has earned that standard. You too will come to know, understand, and appreciate the gold standard that you are learning to become and share. Cherish the journey and always remember the dedication that Capella University has committed to you and all its learners for excellence and achievement.

Light years ahead in going digital! Everything is online, easy, and intuitive! Love this school.

Do your research! I did get flexibility in that I am able to complete my programs online instead of traveling, but they are not as flexible as the commercials claim the school to be. If you are working, have a family or have other things going on, you probably wont keep up. I have had to retake courses because of poor communication between professors/the school and students. I have only been notified of courses starting a week after they have already opened up on the website, which means I start off doing my work late. I am a hard worker, so I do my best to fix the problem and pull up my grade, but there is no reason to start off with 0s because of a lack of communication. Somehow certificate courses are actually harder than Ph.D. courses, which doesnt make sense. I am proud of myself for pushing through, but because of complications along the way, I will have to finish without student loans because of a lifetime limit, which I wasnt aware was going to be an issue. Hopefully I will be able to complete my programs.

I am a current Capella Learner and Capella cuts no slacks with the quality of education. First of all, the Instructors are from a variety of institutions, from Ivy League schools to state schools and everything in between. My PhD program has been very challenging, but the journey has been well worth it as I have learned a lot including becoming an expert writer and almost an expert in my area of concentration. I can say that I have enjoyed learning at Capella to include the residencies.

Completed my degree in 6 months from start to finish. Classes were good and advisors were excellent. They give me credit for my past certifications and work experience. Good school and now started on my masters.

I am looking to continue my education and was looking for a self-paced online degree with affordable tuition rates. I narrowed down my choices to Capella University and Western Governors University.From the first moment Michelle Beling from Capella University contacted me, I felt that she really did care about my success in this endeavor. She was very warm and accommodating in her demeanor. She was very patient in answering all of my questions. She took the time to explain the whole process from start to finish. She even called me to follow up and remind me to sign my transcript requests. I was pleasantly surprised with the reminder.It is because of this above and beyond customer service from Michelle that I have decided to pursue my education at Capella. Needless to say, I did not even receive a tenth of this level of service from Western Governors University.Finances at this point in my life are a bit of an issue, and thats why I had to quit pursuing my degree last year. And even though the tuition rate at Capella is a bit higher than WGU, I am more than glad to pay the extra tuition because of the outstanding staff and service I have received.Capella University has made the whole process to return to school completely effortless-- and for someone that has such a hectic, busy schedule with work -- that is a priceless experience!I hope this helps anyone looking to further their degree.

They really work with you and make the whole process so easy. The classes are challenging and I love it. Coming All the way from Tennessee. Hopefully Ill visit one day!

I have been enrolled with Capella for over 2 years, I transferred to Capella after being enrolled with another online college and have been totally happy ever since. I have two semester left until I complete my B.S. and am thinking about re-enrolling with Capella in the Masters program. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and the instructors are top notch. If your looking for a great online college you must check out Capella.

Terrible experience. The FlexPath program is not truly flexible if you work and have a family. I also picked this because of the inexpensive cost but like someone else said, you get what you pay for.The communication with some instructors is SO horrible because they don’t provide detailed feedback for you to succeed in assessments. For this to be solely online, details are everything. I submitted an assessment based on the data provided in the Required example and the instructors tried telling me that I can’t use the example. When I submitted a new topic, I was given a copy and pasted response all through my paper. I then tried to find information to contact the department head and there was nothing readily available. Finally the coach submitted a complaint about the course and instructor (because other classmates had similar issues) and I was told that I would not be getting another attempt to submit my work and that the instructor provided enough feedback. Really?!? Copying and pasting?!? Waste of MONEY. Don’t do the FlexPath option!!!!!! Now I am stuck because I can’t transfer and I am a few classes from the end and STILL being charged because I and waiting on communication from the instructor and the university. Huge regrets.

18 years after graduating from college, I decided to return to school to get my Masters degree. After researching schools, I decided to give Capella University a shot. From the initial telephone call, they were nothing short of PHENOMENAL!I was connected with Financial Aid, who got me approved for aid as well as signed up for my courses on that one telephone call. Of course, I completed the application, and was admitted. Assistance was given for automatic enrollment in the next class, so I never had to worry about registration.If you are looking for a program for working adults, I recommend ONLY Capella University. As my response may be biased, it is based on the superb teaching and customer service that I received during my three years that I was in the program. I wish you the best of luck and YOU CAN DO IT!J.

I am currently a junior at Capella University and I have been most impressed with everything I have experienced. Phil Molling was my enrollment advisor and explained everything I wanted to know, was very prompt in his responses and always continued to answer questions I had long after I was enrolled. I was so worried about doing college completely online as I feared I would not have the discipline to do it. There are so many resources Capella offers that help you manage your time, write papers, answer questions, network, etc. The professors always give you their background information, lots of resources to complete your classes, when your homework is due and how to be successful.What Capella will not do is hold your hand through every step. You must get your grown-up pants on and learn how to get it done.For questions on the credits, in the guided path option it is 180 credits for your degree. This is because the classes are in quarters and 1.5 quarter credits equals one semester credit. Normal universities are 128 credit 4-year degrees. Do the math :)I have been so thankful for being able to achieve my education online and have not been disappointed by Capella.

I am posting this because I had to learn the hard way and wish I had a truthful post like this to read before I enrolled. Capella is NOT a research institution. Do you diligence and check your state specific and program specific accreditation. Just because the school is accredited does not mean the specific program is. Most doctoral programs are not, only certain bachelors are. State of Minnesota does not recognize Capella as an institution because it is all online. They will not award State financial aid to Capella. It is sad that the Department of Eduction does. If you work and your only option is this I would still stear clear, the name will only hurt your reputation instead of helping it. Nobody considers it acceptable only laughable. Instructors are so desperate to be called doctors, when they should be concerned about learner success instead. They have another 100 years of learning before they should be considered accredited. You don’t know who you dealing with online. They never show face and you cannot meet them in person. Shady as it gets and how they are even accredited is beyond belief. I am not a disgruntled learner, I am ones who sees right from wrong and I have never experienced in any institution what I experienced at Capella, a continuous battle, mostly pointing out flaws in their academic approach. It is like an online Casino, probably operated by the same criminal enterprise.

I am a Capella learner in my last year of the PhD program. At first when I decided to enroll in the program I thought to my-self what am I doing. The first week of class was challenging. while I was excited to be in the program, it seems like a dream. Capella advisors, and admissions staff, professors was supportive. They communicated effectively to me about the program and all the resources available to me. This is my 6th year and it is a wonderful journey despite the hard work and challenges. The world of knowledge is open to all who dare to taken it in. I can attest to this new way of learning, you will never be the same. Capella is the place to be.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL. I WAS UNEMPLOYED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND DECIDED TO ENROLL IN AN ONLINE PROGRAM. I DID NOT DO AS MUCH RESEARCH AS I SHOULD HAVE BEFORE ENROLLING. BIG MISTAKE ON MY PART. SHORTLY AFTER ENROLLING, I STARTED A FULL TIME JOB AND COULD NOT FOCUS ON MY NEW POSITION AND AN ONLINE DEGREE. I AM NOW BEING CHARGED THE EARLY WITHDRAWAL FEE WHICH I UNDERSTAND. WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS THE SCHOOLS REFUSAL TO WORK OUT A REASONABLE MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN WITH ME TO REPAY THIS BALANCE. I AM BEING TOLD I CAN ONLY SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN FOR $60 A MONTH. I ALREADY PAY ALMOST $300 A MONTH FOR STUDENT LOANS. I CAN AFFORD HALF OF THAT FEE, BUT THEIR BUSINESS OFFICE REFUSES TO GIVE ME ANY OTHER OPTIONS. TALK ABOUT A DETERRENT FOR ATTENDING SCHOOL! IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME COMPLETELY, AND OVERPAY FOR A PLACE THAT I AM NOW LEARNING DOESNT EVEN HAVE ACCREDITATION FOR HALF OF THE PROGRAMS THEY ARE SO-CALLED OFFERING THAN YEA, WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND GO HERE! BUT IF YOURE SMART, AND ARE WILLING TO DO SOME RESEARCH AHEAD OF TIME, YOU WILL LEARN THERE ARE BETTER PLACES FOR CHEAPER PRICES (LIKE NOT-FOR-PROFIT SCHOOLS ACTUALLY LOOKING TO BETTER YOUR EDUCATION AND NOT SCAM YOU OUT OF EVERY DOLLAR). STAY AWAY FROM THIS HUGE RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in my fourth quarter at Capella and I couldnt be happier! It has definitely taken some time to get back into the swing of doing schoolwork but I am so grateful that I have taken the steps to do this. I am even thinking of continuing on with a doctorate after this which is saying something coming from me because that is The Last thing I ever thought Id be saying!

Buyer Beware. All of you reviewers below ever applied to a real research institution? It is a process. With Capella it’s a 5 minute phone call and your in. This is a student predator for profit business that will milk your financial aid dry. It is not reputable for employment nor recognized in its own state, Minnesota for the SELF loan. Only a few bachelors programs are accredited, PhD programs are not. Unless the president’s pet cat does the accreditation. Please do your research before you make a big mistake, go with your gut and if it feels bad, then it is.

I am a 48 year old who never got their degree, I work full time and travel a lot for my job. Ive had a goal since I was young to finish college, but life happened. When I started looking for an online school to go to, I had 2 major requirements - 1) I wanted an online school where I could attend a physical commencement ceremony and 2) I wanted a school that offered flexibility and guidance Capella met both of these requirements. I have been more than impressed with the program, professors and academic advisors. The advisors are very helpful and the professors Ive had have been very good about making their expectations clear and explaining why points may have been deducted from an assignment. I cant say enough good things about Capella or their program. Im happy to say that I will be done with classes this year and attending commencement in person!

As a current student with Capella School of Social Work and a current Ambassador, my experience with this great institution has been wonderful. I have learned and still learning under great and cool professors who have taken their time to explain and give some basic advice from their own experience in the field of social work. I will recommend anyone who is considering to go back to school by selecting Capella University as their first place of option..... Great school nice staff members!!!! #EgweJohn..

I really like Capella I like the fact that they actually give you more than the necessary information you will need to succeed. I am currently 10 weeks away from graduating with my masters in school counseling. The only thing I would change is to make the school counseling and mental health program a dual program. A lot of what we learn is mental health and actually working with kids now in my internship I would say I use much more counseling much more mental aspects plus combining the two of offering a dual degree would help with employment because if you are not already in the school district it is pretty hard to get in especially with the stipulation of attending an online college opposed to brick and morter (I feel like we do more work though). But overall I would say do your own research choose a program that is best for you whether it is online or physically attending. Because I must say a lot of the complaints are things that happen anywhere. We Are adults and we are in control of whether or not we pass not the professor. The single class that you are in is not the only class your professor has. Remember they are humans as well. If you are the type that slacks off and youre not good at being responsible for yourself then any program you attend will not be a good fit until youre ready to do the work.

Absolutely love the DHA program. If you are serious about your career but have a life, Capella is a great choice to advance your education.

RUN AWAY from this school ! They Lie and trick you and are not helpful.They hold your Official Transcripts Hostage and refuse to give them to you. They are a Disgrace and practice Unethical policies.They charge you money for classes even when after you have un-enrolled, and if you dont take any additional classes inside of their new billing term - You are charged money for the billing cycle because they are not able to receive any funds from your Federal Financial Aid.They punish you for dropping them and send you to collections as well as refuse to give you your Official Transcripts.I am a Straight A Student even while I was with Capella just for 2 Flex-Path classes. I would prefer to give any other University money both Federal and Personal money than Capella.STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNETHICAL UNIVERSITY

I absolutely love Capellas online program! They offer traditional online classes and FlexPath (self paced). I am enrolled in their FlexPath program and I couldnt be happier. One flat tuition rate for 12 weeks, and you can use that time however youd like. Im currently about to finish my 3rd class within this semester, which means that the average price of my classes is cheaper than community college and Im working towards my bachelors degree. Its all around amazing!!!

Choosing to attend Capella University has been one of the best decisions that i have every made. Being able to know that my education path is set and that I have excellent career opportunities when I complete Capella is not only rewarding but beneficial. I have grown leaps and bounds since starting at Capella a year ago and I will be completing my bachelors degree with a 4.0 and on the Deanss List. I am truly proud! #Capellastrong

With every path that I take with Capella, whether it be a student, tutor, or ambassador, I find it to be a challenging task that requires decision making skills and application of real world experience. I also find that it works the other way as well with all I do outside of Capella.

I am an EdD student expected to graduate Fall 2020 whose financial aid options have been exhausted.  I reached out to the Financial aid office and they provided me with the standard script.  However, I noticed no mention of a payment plan. This was only revealed to me after I contacted Dr. Seneses office. This is a snippet of what I received in my email: If you are interested in a payment plan option, I encourage you to reach out and speak with a specialist in our Business Office. I do know that we are able to allow students to enroll when a payment plan has been agreed upon, but our Business Office will be able to provide you the most accurate information moving forward. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions or concernsAs a first generation student, I can attest to the frustration many of these students have with the financial aid process. Your institution relies on federal funds and I find it extremely disheartening that the payment plan option is omitted from the financial aid webpage.  What makes it even worse is that after meandering through your website, I could not find contact information on the Business Office.  Is this to intentionally reduce the number of people to engage in the payment plan option? Students and potential learners should be provided this information on the Financial Aid Webpage. Even if I dont finish my capstone at Capella, you can best believe your institution will be included as an example of reasons first gen students find the college application process difficult.

Ive been with Capella since 2010. Its a great school. I have no complaints and have never had any issues with them at all.

Great course plans and awesome instructors! Completed my BS degree in HRM in 3 years!

Amazing Experience! I received my degree with Capella back in 2012. Earning my degree from Capella was a ton of work, but extremely rewarding!

I never ever write these types of reviews but I wholeheartedly do NOT recommend this university. I am so so disappointed - 2 years of my time and over USD$ 20 K ... GONE.Whether or not there a scam, I dont know - all I know is that I am not able to graduate from this uni. and had to pay an insane amount of money.IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT (as in NOT a US CITIZEN)- AVOID AT ALL COSTS.There is false advertisment on the website saying they accomodate international students - when its time to do your practicum or internship you receive 0 help.1. Capella does not have a SEVIS ID because they are not registered as an international university2. the MASTERS OF ADDICTION program is NOT recognized.3. NO ONE will provide you with help, guidance, or advice.4. they are unwilling to help accomodate tricky situations.Obviously I did not know all of this at first - they have great marketing and programs - flexible, study from all over the world blablabla. NO.Dont be fooled.I read reviews like the one I wrote and thought to myself those people were just unlucky or whatever, but now I am one of those people and I swear if I had more funds I would sue this university.PS. Check their graduation rate. 17 %. Really?

I literally wish i could give this school a negative star. This University is the sorriest excuse for a school i have ever researched. Like seriously do your home work before considering this school. Look at their classes and make sure they have the classes you need, to not only achieve the degree you want, but also that you will be proficient in the career path you are choosing to get into. So I will be going to school to get my bachelors degree in accountancy to be able to sit for my CPA Exam when i am done. So, to be able to sit for the exam you must have very specific amount of credits and specific classes you must take take be able to sit for the exam. So i am going through Capellas classes and checking off the classes I need from my state. And i am noticing Capellas CPA Pathway program is lacking TREMENDOUSLY! Now the course requirements per my state isnt asking for any crazy or irrational. They require stuff like, a class in AUDITING. Which Capella doesnt offer AT ALL in the BA in accountant CPA Pathway Program. What kind of school offers a degree in accountancy but dont offer Auditing? Another class they do not offer which is required is Financial Reporting, or anything dealing with spread sheets. They are misleading students left and right. I was told by my enrollment agent they are up to date with each states licensure requirements. THAT IS A LIE. If i had gone through with their program and lies, I would have graduated looking like a fool trying to sit for my CPA Exam and being turned away because i am missing a tone of course credits. DO YOUR HOME WORK. Make sure you will be getting the education you need to excel in the career you are PAYING to get into. Because they will have you twisted and not knowing basic things to go out and get a job! I bet you, if they offered a literature degree they wouldnt even review romeo and Juliet or if they offered an composers degree you wouldnt review Mozart. Like thats how ridiculous this school is! They are a joke.

This is a great school. I have had a great experience going through their PhD program!
