I graduated from Boise State in 2009 with a B.A. in Secondary Education, I graduated top of my class from BSU and planned to continue to an M.S. as I have two small children I needed to find an online program. I was originally drawn to Capella because of its CACREP accredidation. It is one of the only online programs which would be sufficient for becoming a lisenced mental health counselor in my state.

I am about to begin my internship and complete my MS with Capella. I can say that overall the education has been worth while and competitive. My classmates all seem adequate and most of them have a background in the counseling profession. After attending the two required residencies, I was able to meet and talk with professors who all were very friendly and highly educated and experienced.

My biggest complaint with Capella is the cost. It is an expensive program, as with most full online universities. My biggest caution would be to make sure you are aware of exactly how much your degree will cost you versus how much you will make when you graduate. If you are able to attend a non-online university which is cheaper I would highly reccomend it, BUT for anyone who NEEDS the online format, I HIGHLY reccomend the program. I have really enjoyed my experience with Capella and if it were not for the cost I would praise it to everyone as the education and experience is fantastic.
