Date: Dec 31 1969
Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)
Capella lives up to its for profit identification. I completed my course work for my PhD with a 4.0 avg. I had some issues with instructors but overall not a major problem. When it came time to do my dissertation everything changed. They changed the paperwork format 3 times which meant it had to be redone and resubmitted. I finally managed to get through the preliminary paperwork. I collected my data and wrote my dissertation. After some revision my dissertation was approved by my mentor, my committee, and the school. It then went to format editing to make sure it was ready for publishing. Here everything stopped. We were near the end of a semester and I believe Capella purposely delayed the processing in order to get me to pay for another dissertation course room. The dissertation course room is a chat room for learners to discuss their issues. It serves no academic purpose yet it costs over $2000.00. Originally Capella said we had to take it four times, I have now taken it six times at a cost of almost $18,000 and after talking to advising yesterday I get the distinct impression they are pushing for me to take it again. To all potential learners I have one word of advice,; RUN! I wish I never heard of Capella and would never recommend anyone to attend it.
