Review:

Capella will ask you to take OM8004 during the first quarter you are admitted.  That course is probably designed to pay for the commissions of the enrollment advisors as it charges a flat fee of over $4,000 per quarter.  Give yourself a break by going to other schools that charges by credit hours.  

Since I started with Capella, I received little to no support from their "academic advisors", many of whom do no even have a Ph.D. themselves.  Their job is to make sure you continue to enroll and pay the quarterly dues.  

In terms of quality of their faculty members, few can be called decent, most of them consider online teaching as an extra income source.  Course assignments are mostly busy work to keep you busy with a lot of nonsense assignments.  Weekly discussions are waste of time if your classmates are a bunch of morons.  Overall, don't waste your hard earned money with this Capella.
