Capella University Announces New Online Degrees
Capella University announced today that it has added two new online degree programs and three new specializations. The University is introducing an RN to BSN degree program, one of the most popular healthcare educational choices today. Because of the increased complexity of today’s health care environment, the National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice has recommend that at least two-thirds of the nurse work force hold baccalaureate or higher degrees.
Anything less than a bachelor’s degree in the profession has proven to be a career barrier for tens of thousands of nurses; Capella is now making an online degree program available to RNs from any part of the country.
The University announced two additions their extensive offerings in psychology. They are introducing a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology with a specialization in General Psychology. In addition, they are providing a combined BS/MS Psychology Degree option.
This allows eligible BS in Psychology students to begin earning master’s-level credits after completing at least 100 undergraduate credits. These master’s-level credits can be used toward completing the BS in Psychology and may also be applied toward a Capella MS in Psychology degree. The result is a significant cost savings and the opportunity to shave two semesters off the Master’s in Psychology program.
The other changes that are now part of the Capella University catalogue are all in the public service sector. They are offering a Master’s in Public Health (MPH), replacing their Master’s of Science in Public Health. In addition, they have added a Bachelor’s degree in Security Management and Master’s programs in Homeland Security. Their final addition is a Master’s in Public Health degree for professionals who are looking for a distance learning opportunity that will lead to a career in Health Care Administration.
