Regardless of what school you attend it is what you make of it. I have attended both brick and mortar universities and now Capella. That said I have learned more at Capella than any other university that I have attended. If you want to gain a quality education in an online environment this is the school for you. However, if you want to be the person that sits in the back of the class and let others communicate for you, this is not the school for you; all students/learners and professors participate in the course room at Capella. Essentially, one has to be self motivated, and organized to complete a degree from this university as well as any other online university because the demands and requirements are the same as that of a brick and mortar university. To those individuals that made negative comments about this being a paper mill school they are just that comments from disgruntle students/learners that could not adjust to the rigorous challenge of meeting the course requirements at Capella.

As soon as they get you in, take your money for couple years, they treat you like dirt and jerk you around for every single thing. This school is also infested with racist administrators and faculty who resent their students and pledge to do anything to destroy your self confidence. My advice: keep your money and stay away. If you want to get an education, this is the wrong place. May 29 2009 Education

Got my BS, MS and now working on my Doctorate at Capella University. I have never had problems with faculty or other students. If I needed assistance the staff of Capella was always willing and able to assist me. Faculty is no different than any other College, some good some bad, do your work and ask for help when you need it and getting through a class is not difficult. May 27 2009 Computer Science

I agree with the statements below, their goal is your money without getting in trouble with the law. They don't like courts very much but I don't think they can be safe from courts. If you are African American, they will give you hard time always assuming your assignments must have been done by others. When I looked into the race and ethnicity of their employees, I found they are about 99.99 % white. I couldn't even find one single administrator or professor who is not white. The pictures on the web site are in no way representative for the demographics of the organization. It is one of their strategies to mislead the public and there are many more of these tricks to this school. My advice: Stay away!!! Mar 22 2009 Education

I have been very happy with the education I have achieved at Capella. Both my Bachelor and Master degrees were from a brick and mortor school, but as an adult with life and family responsibilities I could not take the two to three years (or more) off to complete a doctorate degree in residence. I attended University of Phoenix, but found their format difficult to work with and their staff less than helpful. While there have been some professors who could have been more helpful or more accessable, overall the quality of the education and the other learners has been excellent. I recommend Capella to others who want to pursue an online education. Jan 20 2009 Business - Management and Administration

My experience in the PhD program at the Capella University School of Business and Technology has been outstanding. My future degree, a doctorate in Organization and Management with a specialization in Information Technology Management, is well regarded by my employer, a prestigious international corporation. I recommend Capella to any working adult for a high quality graduate degree. Jan 09 2009 Business - Management and Administration

First let me say I am not a faculty member, I am a true student. Individuals that provide negative feedback on this site are the ones who could not make it in an online environment; therefore, they feel they have to bash the school. The bottom line is any school is what you make it, either you are going to do the work or you are not. The professors that teach at Capella University also teach at brick and mortar schools; the only difference is that you work with the professor using technology versus face-to-face. In either case, the school is an excellent alternative for working adults as it offers the same top quality education by the same professors teaching at brick and mortar schools, and yes we have professors that are graduates of Yale and Harvard.

Don't believe anyone! Capella U is a good idea for making making but not education. They teach one thing and they practice another. By the time you find out it is too late to start over at some other school. But people are finding out about Capella and it started shrinking. My advice, do some research and find a real school before you give your credit card. Good luck!!! Nov 22 2008 Education

Capella University is a school that will allow you to obtain a quality degree, spend time with family, and continue to work. I have learned a great deal in the courses I have taken to date that I can apply to my job and help make decisions that impact my company’s bottom line. Sep 11 2008 Business - Management and Administration

While Capella is considered an e-learning/online school, some of the professors that teach at this university are graduates from some of the most prestige universities in the United States (Tier 1). To this end, the same professors that teach at the brick and mortar universities are the same professors that are teaching at Capella University offering the same quality of education.

Capella has allowed me to work toward my PhD which iwll complete next year without having to sacrifice my income and time with my family. As a clinician holding a Masters degree already, I have found the program very challenging and feel it will be a very important asset to my career. The staff and faculty at Capella have bent over backwards to help me on the path to complete my last degree! Sep 09 2008 Psychology

Great school requires hard work and dedication. It is not as easy as one would think; taking online courses at this university has been a challenge. It is my opinion that brick and mortar universities tend to be easier than taking online courses at this institute. Aug 26 2008 Business - Management and Administration

In my opinion Capella University is a good school. As with any university it is what you make of it. Going to school in a non-traditional environment requires that an individual be dedicated and very discipline. If you are not an individual that can meet these qualifications then it is not a school for you. Having attended brick and mortar universities for two degrees, I found that Capella was more challenging and it required me to be a lot more discipline with my work than I was in a brick and mortar environment. That being said, I urge you to challenge yourself and attend Capella University in the very near future. Aug 05 2008 Business - Management and Administration

I have just completed my Ph.D. and could not have been more pleased with the program. It was high quality, well designed and very rigorous. The faculty were professional, some the best in their fields, and many from very prestigious universities. They expected work that was well-written, relevant, and as close to publishable as possible. They were sometimes brutal in their feedback, but always were honest and fair. Unlike a face to face university, weekly participation was always required. Readings had to be done on time, responses had to be scholarly (many times citations were required on even the discussions), and discussions between learners were rich and thoughtful. The learners were often Principals, Superintendents, or college faculty members. They were very motivated and it was exciting to have conversations with peers across the nation and even sometimes across the world. Yes, Capella's initial acceptance rate is high, but students who can not live up to the demands of the university are weeded out quickly, which most likely leads to some of the negative reviews seen here. We could often tell in early courses those who we would not see the following quarter. Those who made it to the end were committed and professional learners who definitely had the tenacity to complete an excellent and well thought-out curriculum. Part of Capella's mission is to reach a diverse population and to give those who are limited in their ability to travel to a brick and morter institution an opportunity to acquire an excellent education. Unfortunately, the potential negative reviews of some students who are unable to continue is a price they will have to pay for giving this opportunity. I have had experience at a very competitive face-to-face institutions as an undergraduate, and went to a state university for my masters degree. For the motivated student, Capella provides a curriculum that matches, and in many cases exceeds both in both quality and rigor. Capella aims to develop and nurture the scholar-practitioner. They do an excellent job. Jul 29 2008 Education

After reading many of the posts I must say that I've been a student at both the traditional brick and mortar and now online. I find that I have had to work harder at the online university because you have to be organized and able to work on your own versus the instructor standing before you and you take notes. As a student at Capella in the Clinical Psy.D. program I have nothing but praise for this school. Yes they did withdraw their APA Accreditation application however the decision was mutual between Capella and the APA. Due to the University changing from a Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology to a Psy.D. program the APA requires a school to wait before starting the accreditation process until a class has been through the new program's process. I have no doubt that Capella will pursue this accreditation once the first class of Psy.D. students has graduated. Please check things out for yourself instead of listening to the negatives you read. Mar 18 2008 Psychology

I am happy with Capella's Ph.D. program after 1.25 years. The program is comparable to other B&M work I have done. Overall, the program is what you make it and for those that say the program "sucks" or simply cry "don't go to Capella, they will take your money" are indicating their intelligence when they post. It is a good program that will allow you to grow as a person and if you want to teach, you will be able to do so. I will add though, do not expect to teach at an Ivy League or Tier I type school because it will not happen. If you want to teach, you should focus more on community colleges, technical colleges, or even Tier III or IV type schools. Mar 07 2008 Business - Management and Administration

i'm enrolled in a program and the classes are of very low quality. It's pretty much a giant "chat room" without depth or substance. EXTREMELY LOW LEVEL! Mar 01 2008 Business - Management and Administration

I've been pleased with my experience at Capella. I feel that it is easily as good of a program as those in which I have participated at brick-and-mortar, non-profit institutions. If anything, there is a much higher degree of rigor. Feb 10 2008 Education

Capella is a quality university - those who put it down are either disgruntled former students (i.e. Jeff LaMarca) or have preconceived notions of online education. I am receiving faculty development funds where I teach to attend Capella, and I don't believe that my college would waste money on a substandard program. Capella, like all endeavors, is what you make of it. Jan 09 2008 Business - Management and Administration

I give this "University" a straight F. Don't get fooled by their lies; they will tell you anything to get you in. Even if you make it to graduation, your degree is worth nothing. You may think it is worth something, but soon or later you will find out. As for me, Capella University is a joke!!!! Dec 23 2007 Education

Capella dumped their psychology program because they couldn't get accreditation from the APA. I'm glad I left and went to a state school. The difference in the instructional quality is vast. I'm almost afraid to tell others in my new program that I went to Capella as I've already had people laugh at me. Dec 18 2007 Psychology

For those who don't know, Jeffry LaMarca is the author of all of the Capella-hate posts. On 7/1/05 Jeff sued Capella University for failure to accomodate and violation of the American with Disabilities Act. On 11/19/07, LaMarca's lawsuit against Capella was dismissed. According to Capella's site: All charges brought against Capella University by a former learner were dismissed on Monday, November 19, 2007, in United States District Court for the Central District of California. The court found that Capella did not violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and provided adequate accommodations to Jeffry La Marca. Capella has consistently denied Mr. La Marca’s allegations. Capella has brought counterclaims against Mr. La Marca alleging defamation and interference with business relations. He attempted to have Capella’s counterclaim dismissed, but was unsuccessful at the district court level. That decision is currently on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In fact, the court found that: 1. LaMarca is not disabled under the ADA. 2. Even if LaMarca was disabled under the ADA, Capella granted reasonable accommodations. 3. Capella did not engage in retaliation by locking out LaMarca from Capella's courserooms due to LaMarca's abusive behavior. In fact, the judge found that: "Plaintiff's comments were abusive, harassing, and inappropriate for any public environment, let alone the functional equivalent of a classroom..."

I've had nothing but good experiences at Capella in the MS and PhD programs. Resources for students continually improve. Health problems have caused problems for me, but everyone at Capella has helped me achieve my educational goals. Jun 28 2007 Business - Management and Administration

I attended this school for two years now. The professors are mostly very nice and helpful. Some of them are available to chat with your anytime and help you advance in your learning. I don't think I can ever reach that level of patience. On the other hand, the administration of this place is out of touch. They are in total chaos!!! My classmate said they have always been like that and I don't expect them to change anytime soon. Take my advice, find another. Good luck! Jun 16 2007 Education

I worked at Capella-- it is a joke. They let in EVERYONE, and I mean everyone. We would laugh at emails we would get from "Learners" (capella speak for students) who couldn't even type a logical sentence, yet they were admitted to the PhD program. Think about it: you may be smart, but other doorknobs are graduating w/a degree from this place, making your degree a lot less prestigious. Don't waste your time or your money (which is all they were after. They were obsessed about "going public" with the stock, so the higher ups could get rich and retire).

Capella University is the place for losers who can't cut it anywhere else. Do your research and you'll find that Capella is on par with other for-profit schools - a total waste. Jun 06 2007 Business - Management and Administration

I have enjoyed my education thus far. Jun 01 2007 Business - Management and Administration

I am in the Ph.D. program for Organizational Behavior with an emphasis on Leadership. Thus far, the program has been challenging, I have mixed reviews on the instructors. I would not necessarily say the instructors are good or bad, but I do believe being more attentive and more willing to provide scholarly feedback is appropriate. The school as a whole is being attacked for the delivery methods, which I am not entirely sure, is fair. I have taken online courses with tradition brick and mortar campuses and I earned my MBA from a brink and mortar campus that started in 1877, so it had a long and excellent history. However, even their delivery format online left a bit to be desired. I think Capella does the best they can with the learning environment and the real question surrounding the school may not be the quality of education as much as the format (it seems other brick and mortar campuses are having similar difficulties). From my early experience with Capella, the education is fine, but I will need more time to evaluate it. In the meantime, you must decide for yourself and realize that just because websites are started by a person does not mean that reflects the majority of students, alumni, and prospective students. In addition, one site, http://www.capellauniversity.org/ and its alternate name http://www.capellauniversitysucks.us/, should tell you a lot about the intelligence level of the creator. Any person who has to use this type of propaganda and language to relay a point suffers from their own handicap. Finally, these sites claim to be responsive to all viewpoints, but thus far, they have failed to respond to my constructive questions. I suspect this is because they see things only one way, launching a smear campaign against the school, shutting out any other opinion or viewpoint in the process. I do not put up with this in politics and I will not in school. However, I digress, and I encourage you to do you OWN research and talk with graduates and alumni from any school you are considering before making a final decision.

I made the mistake of attending Capella University. In my opinion, this institution doesn’t deserve accreditation. At the time of this opinion, there were several lawsuits filed against Capella Education Corporation. (Google search) Here are a few specific examples of why I took to the time to write this opinion and warn others to avoid Capella. 1. In my opinion Capella is losing ground. It has lost or withdrew applications for accreditation. 2. My experience with instructors and format were disappointing. When the format we used to interface with the university changed, it resulted in confusion. I dropped my class and protested. Capella refused to refund fees and turned it over to collections. Capella’s collection agency dropped the case, so Capella (and/or its agents) gave it to other agencies to continue the harassment. Other students also report unethical collection practices. 3. Poor quality of instruction. My PhD classes were taught by people that didn't seem to have the expertise necessary to teach the class. While there are some good instructors, I was disappointed in the education I received. Recommendations - steer clear of Capella and heavily advertised online programs. Go with in-state online programs offered from reputable institutions. Jan 29 2007 Psychology

I attended Walden before transferring to Capella to complete my doctoral degree. Two of my friends, who completed their MA degrees with me both referred me to Capella and both are in the dissertation phases of their doctoral degrees. They have had nothing but great experiences @ Capella and I echo those experiences. My academic advisor is great; she calls me monthly to discuss my progress and plan my courses for the next 3 terms; we discuss challenges and resolutions; this is something I NEVER got from any advisor @ Walden. The curriculum at Capella is challenging and the faculty expect graduate level work from the students. They also expect you to engage in and be accountable for your own learning. I am very happy there and would recommend it to anyone who is looking @ grad and post graduate school. Jul 06 2006 Business - Management and Administration

This school is a joke! If you care about your education you will go to a different school! Teachers are not knowledgable nor are they helpful. The administration cares more about making money then you getting a good education. Jun 29 2006 Psychology

Education is about learning, not "going to school". This program offers those who want a higher degree of understanding, the tools and support for them to attain that knowledge. Don't do "on-line" if you can't self start and self motivate. You will be throwing your money away... and most likely not receive the "sheep-skin".

I started at Capella University in 2003 and I have one more class to finish my MS in Psychology. I have enjoyed my time at Capella and I have found all my teachers as highly competent in their fields and great teachers. Although this is an online program there are opportunities to meet face to face with students and instructors through the University Colloquia's that are a part of the counseling programs. The Psychology program is heavily dependent on writing and I can certainly say that I have improved my writing abilities since undergraduate school. The MS program I went through at Capella was challenging and has prepared me for future doctoral studies in psychology at Capella or at a brick and mortar university. The one draw back is that you can not perform experimental research at Capella - they have no labs naturally. Nov 21 2005 Psychology

Capella University hires and retains instructors who have literally purchased their degrees from Diploma Mills. One of those "instructors," Diane Stottlemyer, along with the Provost (Karen Viechnicki),their "chief counsel" (Greg Thom), a Dean (Kurt Linberg) and others have been named in a lawsuit for discrimination and retaliation against students. Additional information on the lawsuit may be found at: http://www.employmentlawyers4employees.com Jul 24 2005 School of Information

Capella university PhD studies are just as rigorous and disciplined as anywhere. One can download recent research completed by students there from ProQuest's website and see. There is no way to hide online; deadlines are strictly set. People who are serious stay in for the long haul, become trusted friends, and provide wonderful content. The ones who have trouble disappear quickly (and certainly fail their comps). As time goes on, Capella’s reputation is only going to improve. For working professionals with a graduate degree already from a respected brick and mortar -- this is definitely the school to check out if you're mid-career working full time and want a chance to earn your doctorate. The faculty are from some of the best schools around, and many are in senior government and private sector positions. Jun 30 2005 School of Information

I use to be pleased with this school until I found out they financially rip the students off.

This school only cares about the money they receive from you and nothing else. My eyes was completely open. And I am going to transfer some place else.

As a first year doctoral student, Capella has gone out of its was to ensure my success. The professors are highly qualified and willing to help with any questions.

I'm currently working on my second Master's Degree from Capella University. While I much preferred/enjoyed the courses in my Education program, the courses in the School of Technology have been challenging and real-world oriented. Much of my dislike/problems with courses in the IT program have been due to a lack of background knowledge/experience in field. However, the other students and faculty have been encouraging and supportive of my learning. I have been able to learn and excel and pass on my learning to the students I teach (at a local technical college). My only truly negative comment about the School of Technology is that the core courses and the "primary emphasis" is on programming. There is much more to the world of IT than programming and not all IT professionals are or desire to be programmers. The administration needs to realize that not everyone comes into the program with a system developer/administrators background. If the graduate courses are going to continue to require this sort of background, some sort of prerequisite courses need to be developed to bring those without the necessary background up to speed. I will begin writing my thesis at the beginning of next year. I'm looking forward to it (and to getting it done!). Oct 05 2004 Computer Science Not titled yet

I am a PhD learner at Capella and have 13+ years in IT management and Computer Science. It took me more than 8 months to research online and traditional schools for my PhD program. I chose Capella because of the programs, format, and their credibility. They were one of the few universities that answered my questions completely and explained the processes without holding or twisting any information. Now, I am almost done my classes and I am very pleased with my decision to join Capella University. I have a lot of colleagues and friends that attending “Traditional” schools such as Emory and GA Tech, and when we comparing the end results of courses and the program, there is not much different in amount of work and quality of the papers. Going to university is like every thing else you get more if you put more effort and hard work into it. Any fare minded person who actually understands the program, format, and purpose of the university will attest to the value and credibility of the school. Just remember: Do your homework and compare the offered programs and the completion process with other universities, one thing for sure you would not find it the easiest or cheapest but you will see the degree that you would EARN will have a lot of value and actually mean something.

Capella is a wonderful school. It's new (1993), accredited, business-like and innovative. All programs are online. Courses are challenging with varying interactivity of faculty. Some have been too easy in the past but now there are checks and balances and all have to provide regular feedback to students. The required residencies are amazing -the faculty are excellent, many brilliant. The students are from everywhere, all very motivated. It costs a lot but worth it if you can design a tight program plan and keep to it. This year Capella is exploding and so the chase is on to provide courses and mentors while keeping the quality very high. So far they are doing a very good job. The organization works like clockwork, I love that about the school. Also, it's on the quarter system so programs are fast track. Many of the specializations are high tech and not available elsewhere. Online study is not for everyone, but if you already work and want a higher degree, are motivated and can use a computer then this is for you. I think by the end of the course I will have had more advice and interaction regarding my PHD and program than an in-person school. Also, the entire organization is about 'getting it done and helping the students = very positive; not at all rude or slowing you down. Aug 05 2003 Education Not yet!

Capella University Is one of the best schools I've ever been associated with. I'm in the PhD program for Organization and Management and I believe that my professors are the best ones I've ever had. The learning is mainly online with only 332 hrs of in-class time in the program. That isn't really tha different from a traditional program because you spend most of the time researching anyway. I just wanted to say that I've loved this program and I believe that it will definitely help my career. I wish nothing but the best for the school.

The administration is more concerned with collecting your money than on your welfare and education as a student. If you can get past that, the professors are excellent. May 20 2003 Business - Management and Administration
