Capella has been a great college to attend. The professors are great and are there for you when you need them. Advisors keep in contact with you for the most part and help you along the way by helping you choose the learning guidelines that are best for you. Librarians and other writing assistance is provided when needed. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking to further their career in any field that is available at Capella University.

Choosing Capella was the best decision I have made for my Ph.D. Program. The counselors are there to help you every step of the way. Some people may feel that counselors should be contacting them, but it is up to you if you are willing to put in the effort to keep in contact with all counselors and advisors for your needs. It is easy to set up appointments to meet with advisors and teachers. All of my teachers have been helpful and friendly. Both faculty, students, and former students are available... Read More

When you walk away with a degree from Capella University you are proud of your accomplishment. Yes the coursework is challenging but they give you all the tools you need to complete it. The teachers, my mentor and all resources are extremely helpful.

In one case, I had to add a chart in which I did the same day and it took 13 days and several text messages and emails to get this work reviewed.... Read More

I went to Capella for my masters and then transferred into the Ph.D program. The Ph.D program started out great, no real issues. All the issues started with the comprehensive exam. I attended the required residency weekends which was supposed to prepare you for comps and milestones 1 to 3. Three weeks before comps started Capella emailed my the comprehensive exam manual, however when the course room open up there was a different manual. The new manual was the opposite of the one that was sent to... Read More

Capella runs a good scam. They play a game of bait and switch on the comprehensive exam. Their so call residencies/ Colloquiums are supposed to get students ready to take the comprehensive exam. Well they did under the model that Capella University used to used, however the Capella changed the model this past quarter Summer 2015. Under the model I was trained under all a student had to get to pass was a total of 30 points out of 50 per question. The model did not care how you got the 30 points per... Read More
