I really like Capella’s program strategy – focused on professional accreditation and speed to completion so the student experiences quality, recognition from peers while saving some time and money. A straight-forward, simple value proposition…
“We have converted all six of our MS in Human Services counseling specializations to separate degree programs in order to enhance their recognition among regulatory agencies, employers, and the public,” said Anna Hultquist, associate dean of Capella’s School of Human Services. “That means, for example, that our MS in Human Services, Mental Health Counseling specialization has become an MS in Mental Health Counseling. In the process of converting the specializations to programs, we established program outcomes for each counseling degree and created a new capstone course designed to assess the students’ proficiency in achieving these outcomes. The number of credits to graduate remains the same, and with the exception of the capstone course, the content of all courses remain the same.”
And for IT students, a nice way to save time and money…
Qualified students enrolled in one of Capella’s Bachelor of Science in Information Technology specializations will now have the option to reduce the time and cost of earning an MS in IT in the same specialization. Capella is one of few online universities offering a Combined BS/MS in Information Technology option.
