I was a student for a day. I had applied in January 2020, well before my Bachelors graduation from Arizona State University. I needed my official transcripts, so I couldn't complete my application until May 2020. My enrollment counselor had answered all my questions, the most important being if their Master of Public Health degree was accredited. I told told yes. I asked again twice before I completed my application, and then again to clarify a week ago before I finalized all my paper work to get... Read More

Although it tool me a little longer to become a proud recipient of a MPH, I have very grateful to have gotten the necessary and adequate education from Capella University. From my academic experience there, as an online learner, I had to make serious efforts to receive the grades I received in order to graduate. Personal health issues unfortunately caused me to miss a few semester until I was done with both treatment and therapy. But, luckily for me, I was encouraged tremendously by my advisors to...

If I weren't so far into my program, I would drop this school and run without ever looking back!! The advising staff is useless and will tell you what you want to hear just to appease you without addressing or fixing any issues. Once you start your first course there is no other communication with any staff other than your professor, if you're lucky they may give you a bit of feedback. If you do continue on with your program and end up having to do a practicum through the school may you have the... Read More

Capella University and traditional brick and mortar universities that offer this degree are cheating students because the degree is nearly worthless. The bottom line is if you are not a RN, MD, or LCSW this degree will not offer a high ROI because it's simply not in great demand. The problem is most public health jobs occur at the state government level in the U.S.; however, state agencies do not have sufficient budgets to address public health issues, particularly primary preventative diseases that...

I am greatly enjoying my time at Capella University. Everyone has been incredibly helpful from my admissions counselor to my professors and teacher's assistants. I was nervous about taking classes purely online but Capella has made the experience smooth and easy. There are videos showing exactly how to access classroom material, teacher assistants willing to help you with anything from writing papers to software problems. Every professor has been easily reached through email or text message. I cannot... Read More

My experience was very positive at Capella. I graduated last yr while working & raising kids. The counselors were helpful. Being pre-registered for each course kept me on track with my academic timeline. Great instructors and always available to help.

As I read through some of the negative comments about Capella University, it took me back to when I first started my journey with Capella Flexpath. Advisors stressed time and time again about working on time management. I found that everything they said was true. If you don't have time management, the program will not work. In fact, no online studies will work without time management. As for financial aide, I haven't had any problems with it. I was awarded a scholarship in the beginning that has... Read More

I attended Capella to receive a masters in Public Health with a focus in Advocacy and Leadership. The program was not only a great fit for me but the staff, professors and advisers we very supportive. When I finally made the decision to further my education I was really nervous and afraid that I would not do very well and I was concerned with juggling full time work, school and other personal responsibilities. After speaking with an adviser, being provided with extensive information on Capella University's... Read More

I did not graduate from Capella University. I went there for a total of 4 classes before I found out they lied and were not accredited to provide an MPH degree. Many employers require an MPH to have specialized accreditation called the CEPH. I live in California and in order to get a state job my degree must be CEPH accredited. Capella advisors talked a big game about accreditations, discounts, scholarships, fast trac, etc. I specifically asked if they were accredited for giving out MPH's and the... Read More
