This is a school that hires people with a Ph.D. degree from decades ago.  They do not have practical experience or any corporate experience to guide an empirical research study.  They follow templates and established protocols from the university to save time.  In addition, they would assign mentors to you without your consent.  I have four of them, only one of them I would say really knows what she is doing.  To charge a flat rate no matter how many credit hours you are taking is a true rip-off.  Please do not get yourself into the situation I was in.  It's not worth it.  Go somewhere that they have faculty members with solid industry experience, not just teaching experience.  In fact, avoid any mentors who only have teaching experience because what they know is mostly out of date and they really can't help you much as they do not have expertise in the field that you want to study on.

Blame Game

AUTHOR: Madeline - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, July 18, 2015

 

You were made aware of the criteria before choosing to pursue your PhD at Capella University. To complete an on-line course load in just under two years with a 3.75 GPA is not at all that impressive. The Doctoral Comprehensive Examination is meant to weed out students! You are considered a doctoral candidate only after you pass and there is still the dissertation to complete. If you failed twice, that's perhaps a reflection of your poor written/oral skills. 

You can collect all the data you want, present on a quarterly basis like an expose, you still won't be a PhD and your findings will carry little merit.

Capella University - Doctoral Comprehensive Exam Results Forum (DCERF)

 Hello Former and Current Students!

I am conducting a quantitative study of Comprehensive Exams and the Dissertation Phase of Capella University of Former and Current Students.

By joining you are volunteering to share your experiences and efforts to help quantify the reality of your hard work: as identified by your location, the cost of the program and general comments that you would share with the public.

Let me introduce myself, I am Karl Johansen and current undergraduate and graduate university professor from San Antonio, Texas.  I completed the coursework in less than two years, with a 3.75 GPA average.  Unfortunately, I did not pass the Comprehensive Exams after two attempts.  After a little research, I am finding similar problems both in the Comprehensive Exams and the Dissertation Phase.  It will be our goal to provide a detailed survey of information, and conclude quarterly/semi-annual reports of our combined findings.

It is my pleasure to help organize these specific findings and share with all!

Professor Karl Johansen
