Capella is a joke!
Do yourself a favor, DON’T GO! Your local university and community college will have many great options for your educational needs. They will have online classes, night classes, condensed classes that last 5, 8, 10 weeks at a time. In addition, they will offer summer and winter classes too.
In today’s world, if you want a real degree you can get one from a real school.
Capella and me!
First! They are excessively expensive.
Second! No convenient and I say this because the teachers get back to you in 2, 3, and 4 days after asking a question. I thought an online school would be better for my situation. I was wrong because if I had time to devote to a class and had a question, the teacher would get back to me after the work was do. This would also cause me to be behind because I was in need of some clarification and could not move forward.
Third! The support and library is of no help. I never really got anyone on the phone that could help me. It was always “sorry sir, the business librarians that can help are out, away, or helping others”.
Fourth! One teacher I had was a marking consultant and I believe was just teaching the class to promote it on her website. In other words, “I am a marking consultant and a professor at a major university so hire me because I have credibility”.
I know you want a degree but this is not the way to do it. I know what you are thinking, it will be different for me, I will give it a shoot and see, or everyone is bitter.
Last word! I took some classes and dropped out because real schools can fit into my schedule. I spent the next 8 months fighting because they took additional loan money for a semester I never attended.
