MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capella University, an accredited online university* that has built its reputation by providing high-quality online degree programs for working adults, has announced 13 new educational offerings. They include a PsyD in School Psychology, and an MS in Higher Education with three specializations in Adult Education, Enrollment Management, and Higher Education Leadership and Administration. Capella has also launched a PhD in Business Management with five specializations in Finance, General Business Management, Human Resource Management, Leadership, and Marketing; and expanded its Doctor of Business Administration program, adding two new specializations, in Human Resource Management, and Leadership.
PsyD in School Psychology is first such program available online
Capella's
new degree program is designed to provide licensed school psychologists
with the opportunity to further their education without putting their
careers on hold and help fulfill the current need for doctoral-educated
school psychologists. Modeled on national standards for school
psychology, Capella's PsyD in School Psychology includes online course
work, graduate teaching opportunities, and field experiences. The first
and only PsyD in School Psychology offered online, the program covers
such areas as consultation, supervision, evaluation, research and
planning, ethics, and intervention and prevention strategies. Capella's
instructors are all doctoral-level, licensed school psychologists with
years of frontline experience, providing students with real-world
insight and valuable mentoring. The new program expands the university's
offerings in the field of school psychology, which also includes an MS
in Psychology, School Psychology specialization, and a post-master's
Specialist Certificate in School Psychology.
Capella's new doctoral business offerings help address the global
shortage of qualified business faculty
"There's a shortage of
doctoral-qualified faculty in nearly every business discipline due to
the growth in undergraduate and MBA business programs and the escalating
number of Baby Boomer retirements," said William Reed, PhD, dean of
Capella's School of Business and Technology. "To help meet that demand,
we have launched our new PhD in Business Management with five in-demand
specializations: Finance, General Business Management, Human Resource
Management, Leadership, and Marketing. We are also adding two
specializations to our DBA program, Human Resource Management, and
Leadership, to offer additional subject matter choices to those more
focused on corporate leadership or consulting roles, but who may also
want to teach. Whether the goal is to teach, research, lead, or consult,
we provide a range of business doctoral choices to help our adult
students achieve their professional goals and address today's business
needs."
New online master's degree focuses on higher education topics
Capella
created a new Master of Science in Higher Education to address the
specific issues faced by faculty and administrators in higher education,
including cultural and academic diversity; strategies for teaching,
assessing and measuring higher education and adult students; the use of
technology to improve learning; and the development of business skills
needed to lead and manage change in higher education institutions.
The three MS in Higher Education specializations include Enrollment Management, which is the only online program that also includes professional certification from Noel-Levitz, a nationally recognized consulting firm specializing in higher education recruitment and retention. Capella also offers a specialization in Higher Education Leadership and Administration, which includes a choice of emphases in either Community College Leadership or Higher Education Program Administration. The third master's specialization, Adult Education, covers such topics as collaborative learning, program development for adult students, and diverse learning styles.
As of September 30, 2011, more than 35,000 students are pursuing an online degree at Capella University (http://www.capella.edu), with nearly 80 percent enrolled in Capella’s doctoral degree programs and master’s degree programs.
