Capella University

I am a former Capella employee, now on the faculty of a major traditional university and we would NEVER even consider hiring a Capella PhD grad. The school has the reputation, well deserved, of being a diploma mill. They allow academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and fraud. Some learners were great, but the majority are a joke, at least academically. Apparently they have never, or only very rarely, failed a learner on their comprehensive exams.

The reason—because they want the money to be had dragging them out through their dissertation and then failing them there, if needed.

They are both lawsuit adverse and cash flow focused. No moral center whatsoever. But decisions can be understood best by: "What brings us the most cash here" and "How can we avoid any lawsuits or negative publicity from upset learners."
