Online Graduate Degree, Capella University?

Does anyone have any information on Capella University? Did anyone attend the college? Any information would be helpful. Should I pursue an MBA degree with them?

Online education is quickly becoming more popular, especially because it allows people the opportunity to start/finish their college education without having it interfere totally in their lives. As long as you make sure that the degree you get is from an accredited institution, there is nothing wrong with an online degree.

There is communication between students and professors. It’s just done over the internet. Remember that every online institution is different with how they handle their students, so I suggest that you take a look at some forums about online education. I’ve listed one blog/forum site you can start out on, as well as the blog of a Capella student. Sorry for the semi-redundant links, I’m just trying to save you some searching time. :-)

Lastly, if you do decide to get your degree online, you should know how to defend it. Some people react negatively to online degrees, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that online degrees and programs are evil or a less effective way of learning. You have to be able to manage your time and be very organized. Getting your degree online could potentially be more difficult than going to a traditional brick & mortar school! There is much more weight put on you as the student because you are responsible for your own schedule.

I hope some of that helps!! :-)

Does Capella University have a provost?

When I looked at Capella University’s web site, I can’t find anyone listed as their provost. Normally the provost is the chief academic officer at a school. Does Capella currently have provost? If so, who?

This seems to be very strange. Capella University used to have a provost; her name is Karen Viechnicki. Maybe she was fired or let go? Wish I could give a better answer but it is odd that Capella no longer seems to have a provost.

How much does Capella University pay its adjunct online professors?

I have a PhD, already teach on-site full-time, am thinking of applying, wanting to know if it’s worth the time.
Please try not to NOT answer the question a la CollegeUser’s "answer"…

Instructors at Capella University don’t teach, they follow a prepared script. Unless you just want another paycheck, why would you even consider working at a for-profit school where you don’t teach?

Capella University and University of California at Irvine?

I just came across the following agreement between Capella University and the University of California at Irvine -

http://www.capellauniversity.org/images/Capella_UCI_Signed_Kickback_Agreement_November_2004.pdf

It sure looks like the UCI is getting kickbacks from Capella. What do you think?

everything looks fair to me..

college is expensive.. and it’s all online.. it’s sick really! they are getting paid either $400 or 33.3% of tuition for those online classes… it’s over a freakin computer!! ridiculous!! well anyway..
