Changing the way education is delivered Capella University was the clear choice. And now he's using Capella as the model for his school's distance learning program. "Capella is on to something," he said. "They've managed to build a back-end that is corporate and focused on service and support. But the front-end remains driven by seasoned, veteran faculty who are passionate about education. Other institutions should be learning from what they're doing. It's spot on." With a degree emphasis in e-business, Smith has been particularly impressed by Capella's application of e-business principles, where learners are treated like customers. Support and service are organized around the individual's needs rather than internal bureaucracies. "Traditionally, higher education is not really good at customer service," he said. "But Capella is using e-business strategies to change the way educational services are delivered. They pay attention to the little things like advisories, the content and design of the Web site and the enrollment process. Less than two weeks from the time I chose Capella, I was learning in my first class. That's amazing." Helping learners stay competitive…and fulfill
dreams Like many Capella learners, Smith is driven by more than a desire to improve professionally. Earning a PhD has been his lifelong personal goal. As the first high-school graduate in his extended family, Smith early on decided he would "go all the way" with his education. "I'm a hard rater-I'd never give anything a 10, but I'd give my experience at Capella a 9," he said. "Things could always be better, but I'm just not sure how in this case." PurpleTrain.com, the e-learning service provider by the Informatics Group, is proud to represent Capella in marketing, recruiting, pre-screening applications and collecting tuition and fees for non-U.S. citizens interested in any of the three graduate degree programs offered through Capella University's School of Business (MS, MBA or PhD).
