The WNBA and Capella University: two teams, one relentless drive

Behind the sold-out arenas, the highlight-reel moments and the trophies lifted under bright lights is a women’s basketball league built on hard work, determination and talent. Rigorous training, elite competitions and strategic game planning are the foundation of an organization that now commands the spotlight.

At Capella University, we champion that same drive, which is why Capella is proud to be the Official Higher Learning Partner of the WNBA.

Same grit, different arena

The commitment that fuels the WNBA shows up in Capella students every day.

In the working professional logging in after a full day on the job. In the parent finishing an assessment before the house wakes up. In the nurse, teacher or career changer pursuing a degree without putting life on hold.

Capella students aren’t waiting for the perfect time to take the next step. They’re doing it now through online education designed for working adults, with the flexibility to fit learning into their busy lives.

A shared game plan for success

Capella University and the WNBA are united in the belief that progress is earned by those who get in the game and refuse to watch from the stands.

The WNBA has pushed boundaries, changed the conversation and rewritten the rules through talent and determination. Capella students bring that same game-changing mindset to their own lives as they strive to advance their careers, deepen their expertise and pursue their goals on their own terms.

That’s what makes this partnership meaningful. It recognizes the people doing the work to build something bigger for themselves, whether that means shaping a league or taking the next step toward a new future.
