Capella University was founded in Minneapolis in 1991 by an educator and a business executive who wanted to establish a training facility for aspiring executives in business, education, and human services. The original menu of services included masters’ and doctoral degrees in those fields, offered online. The University has grown steadily over the twenty years of its existence, maturing along with the online education sector in general. Today as more traditional universities move into online education every year, Capella has completed an initial growth cycle that has led to a large and comprehensive range of distance learning education options.

There are more than 1,250 online courses available through Capella, organized into 43 undergraduate and graduate degree programs that branch into 136 areas of specialization. Capella consistently maintains an enrollment base of about 38,000 students, making it one of the largest online education institutions in the world. In 1997 the University received full accreditation by the regional commission recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for accrediting schools in the Midwest. Although Capella has students in every state and in several foreign nations, the accreditation process was based on the University’s base of operations.

Capella takes a unique approach to the divisions of its academic offerings. These include Business, Healthcare Specializations, Higher Education Specializations, Information Technology, Human Capital Specializations, K-12 Education, Mental Health, Public Administration, and Public Safety. There is major emphasis in the fields of psychology, business and education with a long list of undergraduate and graduate options for each field as well as certificates for students who want a quick educational update on a specific area. Capella has risen to the top among the for-profit schools because of its academic diligence in maintaining educational quality and because of its continuing technology upgrades that make Capella classes increasingly student-friendly.
