I want to applaud Capella for seeking and receiving CACREP Accreditation, among many other types of accreditation. I am employed full-time and the mother of three. I have always dreamed of coming back to school to complete a Masters Program and hopefully a PHD. Now it is more than a possiblity it is a reality!!! Before Capella there were no online graduate schools that I felt comfortable enough with to invest my money and time for fear the education would not hold up under state or professional scrutiny.

I feel the same way Carla. The search for an accredited University program that would offer a quality education took several years. I was determined to attend an on-line school and I was shocked when I discovered Capella had CACREP accredication. My involvement with the School of Human Services has been very positive thus far.

This is my first time doing online classes, but Capella has made it very easy and comfortable. I was so please of learning about the Master’s Program for Human Services, and that it had CACREP accredication was a plus!!!!!

I too am very satisfied with Capella. I continue to read about what a great online school Capella is. I have had some challenging times, but Capella and its instructors have made those challenges worth my while. I got over all the hurdles! I love it hear, and I am excited to be a part of such an excellent school. Capella will be a hard act to follw!
