Capella University: an honest review
Online universities are a boon for adults who wish to continue
their education despite working. Capella is amongst those names
that come to mind foremost when one is considering earning a
degree online. Formed in 1993, Capella University became fully
accredited in 1997. With accreditation came a name change and
formation of five different schools namely: Education, Business,
Technology, Human Sciences and Psychology. Headquartered in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, the university offers 650 courses in 70
specialization areas of studies. With statistics such as 650
faculty members and over 550 administrative and personnel staff,
the university is inarguably one of the better places to earn an
online degree and currently has over 13,000 learners enrolled
with it.
There are several upsides and some down sides of studying at
Capella. Consider these points for instance:
Capella has a personalized portal for e-learning called iGuide.
After enrolling students are given secure access to courses and
transcripts which will enable you to join the interactive
learning community. On joining the online classroom, which they
refer to as 'Courseroom' the student has access to online
assignments and discussion forums. Most students find this
alternative far superior to the cumbersome online chats and
perpetually non-functioning webcams of their competitors.
Similarly, the assignment submission protocol through Capella is
quite convenient. Under the system, students have to submit
their assignments in zip files or Microsoft Word documents.
The University also offers a number of opportunities that
extend beyond graduation. One, for example is the alumni center
located on the online portal. This service offers recent
graduates and students access to networking opportunities,
professional employment information, and developmental grants.
Students are generally pleased with this feature although some
have criticized the alumni center as being much more fluff than
actual job offers.
While on the subject of employment, it is important to consider
that many students in online universities choose that option for
the chance to work at the same time. Unfortunately, however,
students are frequently finding that the University does not do
much by way of providing employment for students. Students find
the opportunity for work-study rather dismal. The University
does not offer much assistance for this except for students who
live in the vicinity of the headquarters.
While this type of limitation might be expected from an online
university, the school does offer some rather extensive
assistance when it comes to special needs for learning. Capella
University provides disability services to physically challenged
students in the form of additional learning time, residential
colloquia support, including sign language interpreters and
mobility assistance.
Regarding other services, however, Capella comes up short.
Capella does have a bookstore, which offers a wide variety of
books and
software. But it is generally felt that the books can
definitely be bought a lot cheaper from other places instead of
the university bookstore. While some students claim that the use
of a University book store is merely a means for Capella to
generate revenue at the expense of the school, it is rather
simple to opt out of this trap by purchasing books online. And
in other respects, the school, regarding cost, is quite
competitive with other online universities, and a real bargain
compared to its brick and mortar counterparts.
While many of the individual schools within Capella carry quite
a strong reputation, the psychology school is regarded as quite
unsatisfactory. The Psychology School has been plagued with some
problems concerning its top management. The school has been
beset with repeat changes of deans resulting in total lack of
coordination. Add to this, the program is till now, not approved
by the apex American Psychological Association (APA) despite
being in existence for so many years.
But as stated previously, the condition of this particular
school should not be taken as an indication of the collective
university. With a faculty numbering 650, many students find the
quality and variety of professors a major asset to the
university. Some students have argued, however, that contrary to
this, existing students often complain of these very instructors
as being part time contractors and as such not dedicated enough
to adequately serve their students as teachers and mentors. In
fact professors at Capella are often labeled as 'incapable of
online teaching', a criticism pointing to many professors
non-familiarity with the online environment. An argument in
favor of this thought comes from the experience of some students
who loved the experience of pursuing an online masters degree
with Capella and after coming back for more by enrolling for
their doctoral program, were disappointed. They claim an obvious
degradation of quality of mentoring at the higher levels. This
may be because the vast majority of students enrolled at Capella
do not seek to extend their education that far.
Overall Capella provides students with a bit of a mixed bag.
The format of class teaching and the ease of assignment
submissions is a very tangible benefit of this school over its
competitors. In addition, the University faculty has some very
able-minded and talented teachers. But with these positives,
come some very serious drawbacks. The teaching quality at
Capella is inconsistent at times, leaving some students with the
impression that the qualifications required for teaching are too
low. Additionally, the failure of the school to attain
accreditation in some areas, despite its age, can only leave the
impression that the quality of the administration has some
serious flaws.
