Capella University

Having completed undergraduate coursework through a mixture of bricks & mortar as well as interactive satellite courses, the completely online experience was new to me. If you are disciplined at being a self-motivator, researching until you find answers and manage your time well, the online environment is ideally suited to those who work, have families and other adult life obligations. I see from the other posts that responses are generally extreme - either very positive or very negative- my experience with Capella was a very positive one.'Problems' I encountered while attending Capella were resolved professionally and quickly and I think this is due to being that disciplined self motivated individual I described above. I set high expectation of myself as well as Capella in order to gain the maximum benefit from the experience and to get the best value from my hard-earned money. The results speak for my effort - transitioned immediately into Project Management from my previous career and have been there for nearly five years after 20 years in my prior position. I would not be in the position I am now in without having completed my MS with Capella and obtaining my PMP. For those interested in the PM field, they should be aware that Capella is a globally-accredited institution for project management with the Project Management Institute ( I actively participated with Capella in obtaining this accreditation).
