Degree: Counseling
Graduation Year: 2015
“ A couple of them do not apply to me because I am a online student, and I haven't been to a Capella Campus as of yet. The online school I love, very easy to navigate around the classes and into your account or email. I really do not have anything bad to say about Capella I think it is a very good school. All of my Professors that I have had are very knowledgeable about their degree when teaching. I like the way they interact with us through out our posting. ”

Degree: Educational Leadership
Graduation Year: 2015
“ My doctoral educational experience at Capella has been a very positive one in that I have received strong encouragement and support from my admissions counselors, academic advisers, fellow classmates, and current faculty. I truly believe that I am valued as a member of the institution and evidence of this has been provided from day one. My curriculum in Educational Leadership is very challenging from an academic and time management perspective, however, I have multiple resources to assist me in these areas: Writing Center, Library Resources, Courseroom tutorials, Critical Friends Corner, Smartthinking, and Turnitin.com. Initially, I had some reservations about pursuing my doctoral degree due to being out of the graduate school for 12 years, not to mention my my family and career demands, however, things are going well and I look forward to much continued support.  ”

Degree: MBA
Graduation Year: 2014
“ Capella University has helped me develop as a person, student, and employee. I feel that the online Masters of Business Administration program offered by Capella helps push students to become technologically savvy; as well as, independent. Capella has given me the tools needed to become successful as a student without just giving me the answers. Research, time, and dedication are needed to fully develop the skills of a MBA graduate. Capella is a school that requires hard work to succeed and I feel that they will assist you with finding resources to help you do so. I am now confident in myself to take on projects in my career because I have formed the critical thinking skills that my employers can depend on and trust. I am truly happy with the education that I am receiving through Capella and I would recommend this school to others that are looking for a challenge. ”
