Capella University

As a student and Ambassaor at Capella University, I've 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 you're not bombarded with too much work at one time. Everything is paced just right.

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.

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..

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.

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 that's 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.

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 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!

18 years after graduating from college, I decided to return to school to get my Master's 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!

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 Capella's 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.

First of all, Cec is my daughter and not a learner at Capella University. My name is Maria W. Cruz, as an Ambassador to Capella, I happen to be working towards earning a Doctorate in Education. I have reviewed all comments and it is unfortunate that some learners were dissatisfied with their experience at Capella University. With this said, I agree that the program is somewhat of an independent study, yet, I have learned so much from my peers and professors and my experience has been very fullfilling. This journey is an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. It is perhaps the most challenging goal I have had to accomplish in my life thus far, it has truly been a very rewarding challenge. Wherever I go and whomever I speak with, Capella University will always be presented as the best school I have thus far attended. The staff and professors have been very instrumental in guiding me through this journey. I will look to post another review as I near completion of my program. I will recommend the University and its program to those that are serious about advancing their educational path! Best educational wishes, Maria W. Cruz
