Why choose Capella?
Online education. Two ways.
Each of us has unique preferences for the way we learn. That’s why we offer two online learning formats—GuidedPath and FlexPath—to give you options. Both provide 100% competency-based learning. Not sure which learning path to choose? Our Path Finder Quiz can help you decide.
Practicum
Apply what you’re learning in the field, using the best available evidence to solve real health care challenges. This practice immersion allows you to work with an organization to solve real-world challenges. Each practicum involves part-time, onsite, supervised training with the goal of solving problems you’ll face in your career.
Tuition savings and transfer credits
See how you can save on your tuition. You may be able to transfer credits from courses you completed at other accredited institutions, get tuition assistance through your employer, or receive a discount if you’ve served in the military. You also might be eligible for a scholarship—enroll in a qualified program, apply for the scholarship, and meet the eligibility requirements.
Satisfied alumni
If you’re considering an online degree, you probably have needs, expectations, and priorities that aren’t met in a traditional, brick-and-mortar school. At Capella, we strive to understand where you’re coming from, to meet and exceed your expectations for what online learning can be. We regularly measure student satisfaction with standardized surveys.
