Distance Learning
Capella University, founded in 1993, is a serious provider of distance learning. It has nearly 18,000 students and offers 82 graduate and undergraduate specializations, as well as 16 certificate programs! Capella U is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. It is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and thus belongs to the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Capella is aggressively seeking more students through its advertising campaign on the web, seeking to elevate its profile through web releases, such as the recent one presenting information about one of its adjunct professors, Sara Odem, who has recently co-authored a book aimed at improving management skills in executives. Odem teaches in Capella’s Business school.
