How does your education rate with Capella? Is this a school worth attending?

CPT Hignight,

After finishing my MSSI I was interested in going for my Doctorate. I was concerned about how obtaining a degree from an online university would be regarded in academia as well as what people would think in the professional fields. I was worried that there would be a stigma associated with an online degree. I spoke with one of my trusted professors from my master's program and this is the bottom line advise he gave me. He said "in the end, it doesn't matter what people will say about your degree because they will all call you the same thing and that's Dr". I will graduate this March and yes, there are those who still say "oh, an online degree". My rebuttal to them, if I offer one, is this. Almost every brick and mortar school now offers degrees online. Sitting in a class room does not make the degree any better. What is important is getting that degree.

Adults who have begun their careers know that time is the greatest limiting factor next to money that prevent them from continuing their education. Going to a school that makes getting that degree possible is just plain smart.

And as for how other professionals feel about my degree, I have had many employment offers from some very reputable companies and a couple of universities for professor positions.

I'm very happy with my choice to continue my education and obtain my doctorates.

Good Luck,

Eloy
