As a doctoral student in the School of Business Management, I have been impressed with the high calibre design of their online course rooms, and the quality program curriculum. The PHD program instructors seek performance excellence from their students. The doctoral programs are further in business enhanced by the addition of in-person onsite residencies.

Having attended only brick-and-mortar schools in the past, I was initially skeptical about opting for a virtual Ph.D. program. However, I'm glad I chose Capella University for such an adventure. To begin with, at the doctoral level "you get what you put in"; in particular, I found that online training, such as the type offered at Capella is suited for experienced professional (like me) who are life-long independent learners, and who will be too bored listening to the type of instructions given by...

This school is terrible. The instructors are arrogant and not helpful. They don't take into consideration that students come from different schools and their backgrounds, strengths and weaknesses vary. They get you in the school and leave you on your own. They don't care they have the tuition money and student enrollment numbers. That's it. You're left with a student loan for something you didn't finish. Not enough instructor support. Now I'm in debt and no degree. I felt like I was set up for failure.... Read More

This University is focused on money not education. I already have a PhD in Chemistry from a brick an mortar University but decided to continue my education many years later with a degree in Business. The classes were very good and I learned a lot. However, the doctorate portion of the program was very lacking compared to what I did in my previous graduate studies. It was not going well and I requested to be placed on leave while I decided if I would continue. This was done for a quarter but then... Read More

I have received my Bachelors, MBA and am in my Dissertation phase of the PhD program at Capella. Capella's professors provide you with a list of assignments, due dates and expectations upon beginning the classes. Participation is graded up to 50% percent of your grade but if you read carefully the requirements of the participation then you can easily nail that 50%. I found the program flexible as long as I planned ahead and once I figured out that I must meet the minimum requirements it was easy... Read More

I discovered that all the expected outcomes depend on individual motivations, willingness to sacrifice, and ability to extract value from school resources (incl. faculty, library, cohorts, etc.). My dissertation mentor and faculty not only were solid academic professionals but each was a professional consultant. Entrepreneurship through consulting was part of motivation for pursuing my doctorate. The relationship was perfect to further my education and learn my desired profession from experts. The...

I work full-time and wished to earn my PhD part-time. Capellas business doctoral program (PhD) was by far my best choice. Heres why: **Why I'm happy I went with an online PhD program ** 1. You're in control. You decide the pace and course load (1-3 courses/ semester). It costs a maximum of $5,000/quarter. If you need to, you can take a quarter off. I feel relieved knowing that it'll work *with* my busy schedule (not against it). 2. You may be eligible for tuition reimbursement through your employer.... Read More

I have two graduate degrees, including my PhD from Capella. The other is an MS from a well-respected brick and mortar school where I now teach. By far, I worked harder and learned more at Capella (which should be expected, since it was a more advanced degree). Many doors have opened to me that I never could have anticipated, including (among others) the opportunity to chair a prestigious international conference at one of the top Boston-area universities. (Hint: what are the first two that come to... Read More

Capella is really one of the worst school to attend. Universities such as Capella will take our country back years and years. The education materials are weak. They promise you of flat rate, and you think you will be able to save thousands of dollars because now you can take as many courses to finish fast, but it's big lie. This school should be going through serious audit and former students should be getting their money back. My advice to students, if you're busy professional make your choice very... Read More

This University is a joke. They do prey upon students and they are not consistent with graduation requirements. In the DBA program, they allowed some students extra time and support to finish work that was not afforded other students. I finished my coursework with a 4.0 and they did not allow me to complete my dissertation to finish the program. I had health issues, family deaths, and other personal crisis that I was facing, and I was never advised to take "leave" from the program. Out of the group... Read More

Pros of Capella is that the program is offered online which makes it easier to work and attend classes outside of work. Instructors/Professor's work with students and offer their expertise to the classroom environment. They encourage discussions as we can all learn from each other as we all have different backgrounds and methods on how to handle different situations. Cons is tuition is a little steep but can be expected for the Doctoral level. Also, need to have more colloquiums on the West coast.... Read More

Do not look at the "overall" as this is a calculated number... As an online program several of the ratable categories do not exist for an online program with minimal "campus" experience. The residential colloquia have been revised since I began with the intent of moving learners more quickly through the dissertation process. I found the academic demands of the program on a par with another Research 1 institution and rigorous enough to feel competent to compare my preparation with any other PhD. Capella... Read More

Capella provides little in the way of career support, probably because practically all students are adults who are already working in their fields, the vast majority of whom have returned to school after considerable hiatus. Capella and the value of its programs are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, poorly-understood by most employers. The doctoral colloquia are outstanding experiences, and the adminstration is committed to adaptation and continual improvement throughout.
