Capella University

Knowledge is wireless. It goes where you go.

At Capella University, you will earn your degree from an accredited university that delivers the challenge of a traditional classroom, but gives you the flexibility to fit education into your life. We offer undergraduate degrees in the fields of business and information technology and graduate degrees in the fields of business, education, human services, information technology and psychology.

Admissions

Admissions requirements vary by program and specialization. International applicants residing outside the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands are not eligible for acceptance into programs requiring supervised clinical internships or practical within the Schools of Human Services and Psychology.

Financial Aid

Capella has three scholarship options available. First, Capella offers some internal scholarships to learners, such as the Robert C. Ford Human Services Scholarship and the Helene Krivosha Scholarship. Second, learners are encouraged to apply for external scholarships that are offered specifically to Capella learners (e.g., the Go the Distance Scholarship). Third, free scholarship search engines are available to learners.

Capella participates in several federal financial aid programs including the Federal Pell Grant Program and Federal Stafford Loan Program. Capella is also eligible to certify Veterans Educational Benefits and can provide information on other non-federal loan programs.

PhD in Education - Nurse Education

A shortage of nursing faculty is a key reason U.S. nursing schools must turn away tens of thousands of qualified applicants each year. Capella's doctoral Nursing Education specialization is designed to prepare master's-level nurses to meet this growing need and to advance the field of nursing through doctoral research. The National League for Nursing recognizes that this PhD specialization in Nursing Education aligns with the Core Competencies for Nurse Educators©, using competencies that are integral to the Certified Nurse Educator® (CNE) exam. The curriculum includes such topics as advanced nursing theory and concepts, curriculum design and evaluation, teaching strategies and classroom assessment.

People likely to be interested in this specialization include nursing faculty members who want to pursue advanced faculty or leadership positions and nurses currently working in health care delivery who want to share their knowledge of nursing.

The residential colloquia experience

As a doctoral learner, you will attend three one-week colloquia at specific stages in your program, in addition to your online courses. These energizing residencies provide you with insights and knowledge that will be valuable during your doctoral studies and beyond.

Please be aware that this specialization is for current licensed registered nurses with a Master's in Nursing.
