8C apella U n i ve r s i t y1.888.CAPELLA Volume 09–10, No. 2About Capella UniversityUniversity Mission StatementThe mission of Capella University is to extend access to highquality bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, doctoral, and certificateprograms for adults who seek to maximize their personaland professional potential. This mission is fulfilled throughinnovative programs that are responsive to the needs of adultlearners and involve active, engaging, challenging, and relevantlearning experiences offered in a variety of delivery modes.Educational PhilosophyCapella University’s educational philosophy focuses ondeveloping scholar-practitioners through learning thatincorporates both theoretical knowledge and relevantexperience. Learners synthesize scholarship with practicalapplication appropriate to their level—as reflectivepractitioners at the baccalaureate level, as practitionerscholars at the master’s level, and as scholar-practitioners atthe doctoral level. Capella University faculty are themselvesscholar-practitioners or as appropriate, practitioner-scholars.They guide and facilitate learner development throughdissemination of knowledge and the formation of learningcommunities. They promote active learning, and they modelwhat it means to be scholar-practitioners and life-long learners.Capella’s philosophy also emphasizes collaboration: learnerswith their peers and learners with faculty. Learners andfaculty reflect together on their experiences, build and applyknowledge, participate in communities of learning, and maketheoretical and practical contributions in their fields.University HistoryIn 1992, Stephen Shank, former CEO of Tonka Corporation,provided the vision, leadership, and a portion of theinitial funding for the incorporation of a distance-learninginstitution. Mr. Shank observed that adults were underservedby traditional universities for several reasons. Mostsignificantly, attending classes is difficult or impossible forworking adults due to employment and family obligations,and traditional curriculum often does not correspond with theprofessional goals of mature adults. He envisioned a barrierfree university that people could attend from remote locationssuch as their homes.Capella University, initially named The Graduate Schoolof America (TGSA), offered master’s and doctoral degreeprograms in Education, Human Services, and Organizationand Management. Two years after accreditation, TGSA becameCapella University and went on to establish the schoolsof Business, Education, Human Services, Psychology, andTechnology. Today, Capella University offers certificates andbachelor’s, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degrees across itssix schools.The undergraduate learning experience was enhanced bya reorganization of schools in 2004 to form the School ofUndergraduate Studies and the School of Business andTechnology in addition to the existing schools of Education,Human Services, and the Harold Abel School of Psychology.In 2009, to better meet the professional needs of its learnersin public service fields, Capella formed a sixth school—theSchool of Public Service Leadership.In 1993, Dr. Harold Abel, an experienced leader in highereducation and a former president of three universities, joinedMr. Shank to serve as founding president and academicleader of Capella. Dr. Abel assembled a premier faculty,built graduate curricula, and guided the university towardacademic accreditation. In 1997, during the presidency of Dr.Bruce Francis, Capella achieved accreditation by The HigherLearning Commission (HLC) and became a member of theNorth Central Association of Colleges and Schools.In 2001, Dr. Michael Offerman, formerly a leader within theUniversity of Wisconsin system, became president of CapellaUniversity. A major milestone achieved during his presidencyoccurred in 2003, when The Higher Learning Commission(HLC) of the North Central Association granted Capellapermission to offer a full four-year bachelor’s program. In2008, Capella’s accreditation was reaffirmed by HLC. Capella’snext accreditation reaffirmation process is scheduled for the2014–2015 academic year.In addition to its institutional accreditation with The HigherLearning Commission (HLC), Capella University hasattained specialized program accreditations for several of itsspecializations. In 2003, Capella University’s Mental HealthCounseling specialization (now a degree program) receivedprogram accreditation from the American CounselingAssociation’s Council for Accreditation of Counseling andRelated Educational Programs (CACREP), and in 2005,Capella’s Marital, Couple, and Family Counseling/Therapyspecialization (now a degree program) also received CACREPaccreditation. Most recently, in 2008, the Bachelor andMaster of Science in Information Technology specializationsin Project Management were accredited by the ProjectManagement Institute (PMI ) Global Accreditation Center forProject Management (PMI-GAC), and in 2009, the Master ofScience in School Counseling received CACREP accreditation.As part of its commitment to outcomes-based education,Capella University has taken a leadership role in thenational higher education consumer information initiative,Transparency by Design (TbD). In 2007, Capella joined 13other TbD member institutions in a commitment to reportpublicly, on a single Web site, their expected learning
