The Online Degree Dorm Room

engineering degree online : Kudos for Capella U

I saw a press release the other day about Capella University, which is strictly an online University.

It stated that the Center for Transforming Student Services had awarded their career services programs as a “best practice” in providing student services online. They focused on the services related to resume development and CV training as “providing models for other institutions to emulate”. 

Julie Ofstedal, part of Capella’s staff that works in this area had this say about the student services they provide.

“Upon making these tools available to our students, we saw an immediate improvement in the quality of resume and CV drafts being submitted for review. They have been tremendously helpful in providing guidance to a large number of students simultaneously,”

In case you were wondering, the Center for Transforming Student Services is a virtual resource for higher education institutions interested in assessing the quality of their student services offered via the Web.

So Kudos to Capella, which is accredited online university and a leader in online education with over 16,000 online students from companies such as Boeing, Johnson & Johnson, Farmers Insurance, and Xerox.

By the way, if you work for any of these companies, you should know that they offer tuition discounts and reimbursement for their employees attending Capella.
