Online Courses Through Capella University

It can be difficult to fit the time to get to a college into a busy week. As a full-time caregiver I understand how difficult it can be to make the journey to and from a college campus. Online courses through accredited colleges such as Capella University* can help people on limited schedules study for a better career from home in their spare time.

Through Capella University you can take courses online in graduate degree programs such as business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology, and bachelors degree programs in business and information technology.

Capella University was founded in 1993 and offers 76 graduate and undergraduate specializations and 16 certificate specializations, serving 16,000 students from all 50 states and 63 countries.

Their website says this about when students attend online courses:

"Any time, day or night, you can access your class and participate via our online courseroom, as long as you have an Internet connection. Students usually need to log in 2-5 times each week, but there is no set class schedule so you can "attend class" anytime. Typically, Capella learners spend an average of 13 hours per week per course, with times varying from 5 to 20 hours per course depending on such factors as number of course credit hours, degree program, and learner's prior knowledge."
