Learning Environment
As an online university, the majority of learning takes place via the Internet. Capella's online environment is organized into course rooms, with each course utilizing its own individual component. These course rooms are built on the Blackboard Learning System software. There are also residency requirements for certain graduate programs such as a one-year residency for clinical psychology and residencies for other master's and doctoral programs. PhD programs require three long-residencies (called Colloquia) spaced throughout the program.
Capella provides applicants opportunities to earn a limited number of credits through a prior learning assessment program, which can provide college credit for experience-based learning.
