Review:

I feel like I was scammed also.  I completed one quarter in the PhD General PSych program, and found the course to be much of the same work as I completed as an undergrad, I was only able to speak to an advisor once, as they kept changing my advisor around.  Once I did get an advisor, he suggested that I add another class, and could drop without penalty within 5 days.  I signed up, couldn't get the books in time and was given a near-impossible alternate assignment to complete in a couple of days.  When I dropped the class in 4 days, they charged me over $500.00!!!!  
This is a corporation whose primary responsibility is to their shareholders.  this, I believe, has resulted in a cheap, canned education that is profitable, and they know how to maximize their profits from both you and the federal student aid loans that they are so very willing to assist you with.  If you just want an expensive degree without any real learning, stay at Capella.
I have moved to Walden, where I will be designing my own course of learning, which will focus on the areas that I want to work in.  I am hoping this will result in a real and applicable education.
