The online university introduces eight new,
innovative offerings focused on Educational Innovation and
Technology and redesigns its professional doctoral programs in
Education to increase affordability and flexibility
Capella University, leading the way in innovative degree
programs, is announcing eight new offerings designed to enhance
teacher knowledge and classroom effectiveness in the growing area
of education innovation and technology. Additionally, Capella has
redesigned its professional doctoral Education degree programs with
a focus on professionally aligned course content to increase
affordability and flexibility. Capella University
(http://www.capella.edu) is a regionally
accredited online university which offers online degree
programs designed to help working adults advance in their
careers. Capella’s P-12 Education offerings are part of Capella's
Professional Education Unit, which has been accredited by the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE).*
“We’re expanding our offerings to provide content that reflects
the future of education and where it’s headed, including increased
use of technology,” said Jim Wold, PhD, Capella’s interim dean of
Education. “We also continue to explore ways to enhance the value,
flexibility, and affordability of our education programs in order
to improve our learners’ experiences and help them reach their
educational goals.”
In addition to launching a new program focus, Capella has
redesigned its EdD programs to retain the most professionally
relevant and applicable course content and reduce the time and cost
of earning a degree. Capella has also introduced professionally
relevant certificate offerings to coordinate with other
specializations. This allows credits from one program to be applied
to related programs at more advanced degree levels. For example, a
student could earn a credential, such as a certificate, in a short
amount of time, and later apply these credits toward a doctoral
degree more affordably and at a pace that works with his or her
situation.
New offerings in the field of Education Innovation and
Technology (EIT), built to reflect the standards of the
International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE),
include:
EdD (existing degree with new specializations)
- Teacher Leader in Digital
Transformation
- Personalized and Competency-Based

EdS (existing degree with new specializations)
