STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!

1- From the very start, their terrible rude enrollment counselors who would hang up on you for asking basic questions and don't return calls or emails in a timely manner if ever which ended up delaying my enrollment 3 months more than the pre-planned classes start date
2- The staff and even the supervisors of said staff talk the talk but don't and won't walk the walk .. very unprofessional environment all around.
3- low quality of education especially for a graduate program. It... Read More doesn't match up to national standards else where.
4- high tuition cost for the education you actually receive compared to other online universities out there.

I wouldn't recommend this university to anyone who is seeking a quality affordable education and who doesn't want the added unprofessionalism to deal with.

Capella University is very misleading when it comes to finances. I enrolled in the FlexPath pending FAFSA completion. However, due to taxes, I could not complete FAFSA in time. My advisor said it was no big deal, I would be dropped from my classes and could apply again once my FAFSA was complete. Imagine my surprise when I received a bill for thousands of dollars, and for a class I did not participate in! Since I had everything in writing via email and text, I contacted the university, but had no... Read More luck. They still turned me over to collections and hurt my credit for services never received. I would never recommend this university.

Capella is not only unhelpful administration wise, the instructors are barely even involved in the courses in my experience. They completely disappear after putting fear into students about finding a site based learning practicum and internship. Basically, Capella makes the process as confusing as possible then doesn't respond for 2-10 days on email, only to give some kind of vague instruction that means nothing. Then you have to wait 2-10 days longer, all the while they are not flexible in any way... Read More with deadlines. The whole experience has been a disappointment administratively and support wise. Be prepared to BEG for an internship out in the counseling world while Capella makes it even more difficult on their side.

Capella University is a transformative institution that empowers professionals to pursue their educational dreams while juggling their careers and families. As a healthcare professional who embarked on two master's degree programs with Capella鈥攁n MSN in Nursing Education and an MSN in Leadership and Administration鈥擨 can attest to the extraordinary experience it offers. Capella's support and flexibility have inspired me to chart my educational path towards an MBA in Healthcare Management and a Doctorate,... Read More making me more convinced than ever that Capella is the ideal university for working professionals.

What truly sets Capella apart is its innovative FlexPath learning model. As a father and full-time healthcare provider, finding the time to balance work, family, and education seemed impossible鈥攗ntil I found Capella. The FlexPath option, with its unique flexibility and personalized pace, allowed me to pursue my degrees without compromising the quality of my education or family life. This model is a game-changer for any parent or working professional, offering a pathway to success that many traditional universities cannot match.

At Capella, the faculty and staff are not just educators but mentors deeply invested in your success. Their unwavering support, empathy, and respect make you feel valued and understood throughout your journey. Capella's programs are designed with rigor and excellence, setting high standards that ensure the quality of your degrees. You don't just receive a diploma鈥攜ou earn it through dedication, hard work, and commitment. But you're never alone in this journey. The compassionate and diligent faculty provide expert guidance, ensuring you're well-prepared for real-world application of the knowledge you gain.

Capella's prestige and credibility are further bolstered by its partnership with New York-Presbyterian Columbia Irving Medical Center (NYPH), one of the most esteemed healthcare institutions in the country. The fact that NYPH offers preceptorships and practice placements for Capella graduates instilled a deep confidence in the programs I was pursuing. The alignment of an institution of NYPH's caliber with Capella speaks volumes about the university's commitment to producing competent, well-prepared professionals ready to impact the healthcare industry significantly.

As I continue pursuing my MBA in Healthcare Management and plan for a Doctorate, I am sure that Capella is setting me up for success in both civilian and professional life. Capella ensures that its graduates are academically prepared and respected in the industry. The flexibility, academic rigor, and unmatched support Capella offers are why I tell my coworkers, family, and friends about the incredible experience I have had here.

Capella University is ideal for those looking to balance school, work, and family life. It offers the flexibility, respect, and rigorous education needed to thrive in a competitive and fast-paced world. Whether you want to pursue a master's, an MBA, or even a doctorate, Capella gives you the tools to succeed. I have no complaints, only deep gratitude for the opportunities Capella has provided me and my family.

This is based on my personal experience.
I also received good feedback from my peers, both civilian and military, so I chose Capella. Everything is about the experience.

As a Canadian, I chose Capella University for its innovative FlexPath learning, which is competency-based and largely self-directed. This model worked perfectly, allowing me to balance a full-time job right after undergrad. I am deeply thankful for Capella鈥檚 flexible format, enabling me to pursue my education alongside my career.

Capella University isn鈥檛 for those who expect a traditional, spoon-fed education. Here, students take full responsibility for their learning. My professors were outstanding,... Read More each pushing me to achieve my best. Those who complain likely lack the drive and passion for self-directed learning, as FlexPath requires independent reading, writing, and critical thinking.

The rigorous program involved extensive reading and writing, which I loved. Capella provided excellent resources that were crucial for my success. It wasn鈥檛 easy, but that鈥檚 what made the program robust. I graduated with a 4.00 GPA, a testament to the hard work, discipline, and determination required.

The complaints about technology issues or delayed feedback are, in my experience, unfounded. While I occasionally had minor technical hiccups with the Canvas platform, these were minor inconveniences rather than major obstacles. Capella is in the process of improving these systems, and I expect smoother experiences for future students.

The rigorous assessment criteria in FlexPath, requiring proficiency or higher in every competency, ensured a high standard of learning. Unlike traditional models, which allow you to pass with a cumulative score, FlexPath demands excellence in every area. This meticulousness improved my writing and critical thinking skills tremendously.

Capella鈥檚 flexibility was a lifesaver, especially when I was promoted. Traditional schools might have discouraged pursuing graduate studies alongside a demanding job, but Capella allowed me to adjust my assessment dates accordingly.

As a Gen Z student, I appreciated Capella鈥檚 modern approach to education. I don't like being micromanaged and I thrive in environments that value independence and self-motivation. The practical, real-life assessments were invaluable, including presentations, papers, and statistical analyses. The meticulous feedback on every detail, from formatting to colloquialism, prepared me for real-world expectations.

Regarding tuition, Capella is transparent and has no hidden fees. The subscription model is straightforward and objective, reflecting a modern approach to education financing. Those complaining about billing likely haven鈥檛 paid close attention to the clearly stated policies and procedures.

Overall, Capella University is an excellent choice for self-motivated, disciplined learners. The FlexPath model is the future of education, offering a rigorous, flexible, and rewarding learning experience for anyone around the world! (Literally speaking). I proudly recommend Capella to anyone ready to take charge of their education and career.

The good, the instructors and curriculum was outstanding. The tech support as well. The bad, good luck getting to speak to a coach or tutor. Coach never returns any form of communication I spoke to mine maybe twice in 2.5 years. Tutor takes 2 weeks to book, they will tell you they can't help you but feel free to book another time. You are mostly on your own馃う鈥嶁檧锔� the ugly, the financial aid is soooo messed up I must have missed a week or more of work because I had so many issues I finally had to take... Read More time off to get them to resolve the problem. It was always something they did too. I spoke to my lenders and financial institutions. The ugly, they promised a graduation ceremony online for myself and my loved ones. I finished a 4 year degree in 2.5 with 2 honor societies. It cost me about 30 grand and I did not get informed they took away the ceremony until I went to prepare for the invitation of everyone waiting to celebrate with me. I feel robbed. I should have been put on payroll as much as I spent time with their staff fixing their issues. Just glad it is over and I can go somewhere else for future educational endeavors.

As a recent graduate from the Flexpath DNP program with an award date of December 31, 2023, I would like to offer some insights and advice for prospective students. Firstly, it's important to recognize that while admission to the program is assured, many students set unrealistic expectations regarding the timeline for completing the program. Additionally, there is a tendency to overestimate one's research and writing skills. It is widely acknowledged among alumni that the Flexpath DNP program is... Read More challenging and differs significantly from previous Flexpath programs. This rigor is expected, considering it's a doctorate program. It's crucial to understand that your past academic achievements, including previous degrees, GPAs, or the prestige of the schools you attended, become secondary. The primary focus should be on your preparedness to engage in learning and writing at a doctoral level. For those uncertain about their ability to navigate the program independently, I recommend considering the guided path option. The Flexpath format is particularly suited for self-motivated individuals. The initial 8000-level courses can be completed relatively swiftly, especially for nurse practitioners, who can contribute 500 of their previous hours towards the total requirement of 1,000 hours. However, the 9000-level courses, which are project-focused, demand more time and effort. A significant challenge in the 9000-level courses is the variability in instructors, each of whom may have a different perspective on your work. This can sometimes lead to delays in progress. Another concern is the grading timelines; regular assessments are returned with feedback within 72 business hours, while signature assessments take up to 6 business days. Additionally, the fact that instructors do not grade on weekends can further extend the time taken to receive feedback on assessments, potentially prolonging your time in the program. Some students perceive these grading timelines as a strategic flaw or even a deliberate obstruction to extract more tuition fees, though this is speculative. For those committed to the program, I recommend using tools like Grammarly and Perrla for writing assistance. It's also advisable to have a project site, preceptor, and project idea in place before beginning the program. Work on aspects of your research throughout the course, rather than postponing it until the end. This proactive approach can help mitigate some of the challenges mentioned and lead to a more successful and fulfilling experience in the Flexpath DNP program.

Completed the BSN and MSN in nursing education with the FlexPath program. Relevant coursework and great professors. Advanced my career. Expected same with DNP. Poor experience. Lack of knowledge from advisor. Professors disorganized and unresponsive with feedback. One professor gave students a website to purchase papers from right on the courseroom. Frequent professor changes suddenly. Project got approved then revoked making program longer and more expensive. Major issues not resolved even after... Read More a class action lawsuit was settled. Deceptive financial aid practices. I referred numerous students to this school. I no longer recommend. This school has declined in last two years and has become a poor organization with terrible service and lack of relevant education

I was misled by the financial aid department! I was told the same thing by two individuals there regarding my financial aid disbursement. When I called again and spoke to another person in financial aid they told me something else. No help, and it is resulting me in having to pay $2250 for a semester out of pocket. I decided to withdraw from Capella and when I spoke to the academic advisor she did not ask me what the reason was or if there was anything they could do to help. They do not care about... Read More their students and keeping them there. I will be looking into another college that is more helpful and more veteran-friendly. The professors are great, but the college is sub-par. STAY AWAY!!!

My experience with Capella University has been frustrating, especially regarding charges on my account. They initially stated students have 21 days to drop a class, but later said it's before the first Friday. This inconsistency can greatly impact students. Clear and consistent communication is essential. To add to the frustration, I dropped my class on day 9, well within the initial 21-day window, but was still charged $772. This discrepancy in charges and deadlines needs addressing. Overall, I... Read More do not recommend this university.

Determination. Curiosity. Independence. Those are thee of the things that will ensure you get the most out of your education at Capella. The types of courses they had for my program were nuanced and appropriate and there was a consistent demand to call upon critical thinking skills which has improved every facet of my life. The online platform brings a level of digestibility when it comes to time and flexibility in accordance to lifestyle as an adult learner. While I wouldn鈥檛 trade my Capella education,... Read More there were a few things a which Capella fails, not because they don鈥檛 know, but because they don鈥檛 see the urgency or importance. 1. Scholarships and financial Aid. Capella鈥檚 scholarship and financial aid options are somewhat abysmal. Capella promises progress rewards and continuing education rewards in substantial amounts to attract students to their program. What they don鈥檛 disclose is the fact that you only actually get that amount if you slow down your pace with degree completion. The funds are not taken off the top of your tuition. It is broken up in quarters so there is still a chance that you will have to pay them even though you still have scholarship money from them. This, in a way, penalizes high performing students. Should a learner take three classes a quarter, these 鈥減rogress鈥� and 鈥渁lumni鈥� rewards won鈥檛 apply meaning, they get paid. They also do not give individualized, merit-based scholarships. Your background, major, or academic achievements are not basis for financial aid outside of the standards for the canned scholarships that they may offer. 2. Instructors. I鈥檝e had some wonderful instructors. I鈥檝e also had instructors who fall on the opposite end. Non responsive, offensive, and uninterested. For an educational institution that wishes its students to lean into critical thinking, it would seem that their instructors would hold the same value for that. Not so. I clearly remember asking a question to get more information from an instructor hoping for an open dialogue to learn and expand my idea. I was told 鈥測ou鈥檙e overthinking.鈥� There was no inquisition as to my question and I never got my question answered and ended up answer my question on my own. This was not a one-time occurrence. I鈥檝e waited days for responses only to remind instructors that I was still waiting. The irony: to this day, I still have not received a response. While this was an extreme case it鈥檚 not uncommon. Furthermore, I and other learners have experienced instructors short-temperedness, lack of human understanding, and apathetic attitude towards learner-instructor engagement. 3. Academic Advisors. I thought this would be the only place where I could get guidance and understanding about the path I wanted to take. Surprisingly, I was incorrect. My academic advisor could not answer basic questions about the process and was often unavailable to the point where I built my own academic plan out of necessity. Capella frequently sends surveys to its students and I complete them in earnest, but I wonder if they鈥檙e read and considered. While this is an educational institution, it鈥檚 a business first, and when you get past the degree options and go below the surface, as long as they鈥檙e getting paid, there鈥檚 no real care past that point. I thought that maybe my experience was unique. It is not. In fact, it鈥檚 more common than it should be. I am a more shrewd and aware learner, but it鈥檚 not because I had to be that way to learn AT Capella. It鈥檚 because I had to be that way to LEARN Capella.

I chose the flex path for both my BSN and MSN-education. I'm not a great test taker and now that I've been a practicing nurse for 14 years, with parenting and other responsibilities, this path worked well for me. I saw some nurses complete their degrees in one or two billing cycle but I took a little over a year for each degree. Flex path allowed me to write papers on my expertise, hospice. Some where so good I was encouraged to publish. I feel that I learned more about hospice by writing papers... Read More using current evidence based practice that I was immediately able to apply to my employment. This improved my job satisfaction and my patients and coworkers as well. I didn't get a raise, though my employer gave me thousands of dollars towards tuition and I never have to go back to floor Nursing unless I choose. I loved that I could spend as long as I needed on a paper and never felt stressed. The support I got from the professors was wonderful. As an adult learner in an online educational setting, I felt very comfortable without brick and morter classroom format.
