| Program: Masters in Information Technology |

I completed a Masters in Information Technology in the summer of 2007 and
actually enjoyed it. For all of you who are used to the traditional Brick
and Motor University, get ready for a change. As in everything, there are
some pros and cons to this university.
(PROS) I found no problems with the faculty and administrative staff. Just
about every professor was accommodating and attentive when contacted for
clarity on my assignments. Administrative staff was extremely helpful with
the enrollment and financial process. I am former military member and used
my GI Bill. So for those of you in the military, this university is very
military friendly. I found just about all of the courses relevant and
up-to-date with current trends.
(CONS) The cost of the courses is crazy, at the time I was paying just
under $2000.00 a class! What my GI Bill didn't cover, I had to pay out of
my own pocket. Still not bad I guess. The only other thing that concerned
me was that I received a 4.0 in every class of the program. I’m not saying
that I would have liked a lower GPA, but it makes me think a little. Don't
get me wrong, I worked my butt off in each class, but a 4.0, wow. It just
makes me wonder if they were giving grades away. Other than that I actually
loved their college experience.
(Results) I am a small business owner, and therefore the degree did a great
deal for me. It not only gave me new found knowledge but it was also a
source for taking my business to a new level. As a result I was able to
raise my rates and explore other avenues of revenues for business and have
made out pretty well. If you would ask me if I recommended Capella, I would
say yes specifically for the MSIT program, I couldn't speak for any of the
other programs. Also just get ready to dish out some cash!
(Update) After graduating in the summer of 2007, I went right back to
college again, this time choosing my local university of UT Brownsville for
a Master's in Business Administration. The reasons I choose to go back to a
traditional university were two fold. One was because of the cost; UT
Brownsville was WAY more affordable. Second, business classes are not my
specialty, therefore a traditional approach was the way to go. BTW, I
graduated this past weekend and am so relieved!
Oh one more thing, "It’s not really so much of where you went to college,
but what you do with the education you receive that counts!” I hope my post
has helped some of you make your decision.
