"I guess I'm at mile 24 of my PhD. My first marathon, when I crossed the finish line, it was such a high. I know when I get that diploma from Capella, it will be the same feeling."
"Getting a perspective on issues from all geographic regions, including internationally, has been enlightening. You learn from those who have been in the field, those who have fresh ideas and are not in the field, and those with perspectives from different cultures. Classroom lectures only touch on the education that such discussions can give."
"I have a very demanding job, two children, and a wife who is a corporate attorney. Frankly, until I learned about Capella University, I had pretty much given up trying to find a program that met both my professional and personal needs."
"Capella provides a self-paced learning environment that allows me to complete a graduate degree while I work full-time. This is all done from the convenience of my computer, no matter where I am or what time of day. The flexibility makes all the difference."
What Capella Faculty Are Saying about LearnersRead faculty testimonials about why they find teaching at Capella so rewarding. "The best part of being a member of this team is that I always learn from the students. This medium allows learners of all types, from all walks of life to further their education while still fulfilling their professional and personal responsibilities. I am committed to helping the dream of achieving a graduate degree come true for learners at Capella." "I particularly enjoy online education for several reasons. First, we tend to attract people who are already professionals. They bring their experience to the classroom, adding both depth and breadth to the discussions. Another reason I like this type of learning is that after a discussion question is asked, there is time for reflection, time to consult source material, etc., before responding. Again this leads to discussions of greater depth than is possible when learners must quickly respond 'off the top of their heads' as in an in-person classroom discussion." |
