Capella University

Pros: Great education, good interface, flexible schedule, responsive faculty and staff

Pros: Regionally Accredited, Responsive Staff, Good Educational Program/Material that was applicable to my professional IT position
Cons: Occasional Lack of Participation - resolved with support calls. Courses pricy - over 250$/quarter credit.

The first and foremost reason I chose an online school was availability. Of my time. I am the father of three, and a husband to boot... with a full-time PLUS professional position. I have worked in IT for 10 years, and hold Cisco CCIE and ISC(2) CISSP ...

Pros: The program is easily accessible, making a university degree an option for all.
Cons: Hidden costs; Many of the teachers seem unqualified or uninterested in their work.

About my preliminary expectations: I admit that I applied to this school only because NYU’s distance learning program, to which I had originally been accepted, was abruptly terminated, so my expectations of any program to which I applied were high. I ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Dishonest. Bigotry. Discrimination. Harassment. Retaliation. A waste of money.

Pros: Can't think of one right now...
Cons: Your are alone in your educational endeavor.

I honestly have never seen such incompetence and unethical behavior in my entire academic career. The classes are easy and students post a page a week and then do a short paper at the end. There are no resources, no powerpoints from the instructors, ...

Pros: Great education. Great instructor involvement. Able to complete your education at your own pace.

Cons: Pricey, Maybe a little too structured, A bit impersonal...

Cons: Need higher admission standards (some weak thinkers/writers in class). And yes, it's expensive.

- Military friendly
Cons: - A bit expensive, but worth it!

Pros: Easy Application/Financial Aid Anyone Accepted
Cons: Self-Taught Coursework Inaccessible Support Staff and Faculty Misleading guidelines and regulations

For those who read my review before my retraction, I'm afraid that the critics were more accurate than my hopeful opinion. I had believed that academic freedom and the ability to be a student on one's own terms was what Capella offered for better or ...

Pros: Develop self motivation skills
Cons: Some professors dont respond to emails. Lack presentation skills.

I believe Capella is one of the most challenging universities I have ever attended. At times I feel like pulling out my hair while doing my assignments or just quit the university. However, I try motivating myself to get assignments in even though ...
