Capella University Reviews of Doctoral in Organizational Leadership

This might be the worse school for pursuing any degree. They will treat you like a king until they get you enrolled after that you are on your own. They have no clue what an adult learner has to deal with on a daily basis. When you need them the most they turn their backs on you. If you call them out for their incompetence, they will hold it against you and try to get you removed just because you told the truth. Their tuition is too high and the degrees are looked at as inferior to most organizations... Read More that hire. Nearly impossible to get and teaching job with these degree milled schools like capella. What a joke. I am retired from the Army after 21 years and I recommend any veteran that is considering this school that you seriously consider any other options. You will be disappointed with this school. Trust me.

This University may be receiving business awards but it is a for-profit university that has stockholders. They are great at making profits for the stockholders. From 2002-2015,Capella's interest was not in protecting their PhD students but was instead focused to making profits for this Ed. Company. They took those PhD Public Service Leadership General Human Services PhD students and circulated them within the system for years while all the other Cap. University schools PhD students were corralled... Read More and waiting----then with extensive debts Capella gave some of them Masters degrees instead. Those PSL PhD Students developed the faculty training template at this wholly on line school for 2 years then they were often removed....many with $200,000 debts and no degree. Beware is all I can say. Somehow, I lived through this experience but it was not a good one. Find a public or non profit University.

Northcentral university is a great school. Professors are efficient in their profession. Academic advisors(AAs) are helpful, insightful, and knowledgeable. If AAs did not know something, they found the answer from their colleagues. My chair is wonderful. He cares and provide weekly support. I am required to check-in weekly. He is down to earth and wants his learners to succeed. It took me awhile to understand the concept of the dissertation. Writing chapter 1 took me a year and a half to complete....

Words of wisdom...potential doctorate students, stay focus and determine.Kudos to Northcentral University!
