The online university will provide in-person
administrative support to learners
Today Capella University, an online higher education institution
serving working adults, celebrated the grand opening of its
first-ever Campus Center in Atlanta, Georgia. This marks the first
time the University will have a brick-and-mortar presence, and the
Campus Center will aim to provide in-person administrative
resources for local learners.
Located at 805 Peachtree St. NE, the new Campus Center will
provide learners access to enrollment counselors, academic advisors
and study spaces to collaborate.
“Contemporary learners juggle multiple responsibilities while
pursuing a degree, including family and work responsibilities.
Capella is committed to providing a flexible education with
personalized support to help them succeed,” said Dick Senese,
president of Capella University. “While our learners will continue
to take classes exclusively online, our new Atlanta Campus Center
will offer in-person resources unique to most online education
programs.”
Capella offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, as
well as many certificate options, that span over 50 programs and
132 specializations. The University is one of only a few in the
country that offers a competency-based learning format paired with
a direct assessment model (called FlexPath), in which learners have
the flexibility to learn on their own time and schedule.
Capella also offers a GuidedPath option, a more structured
learning format, which features weekly preset deadlines and group
discussions.
Atlanta has a large population of Capella learners, making it an
ideal location for a Campus Center. “Our goal is for the new Campus
Center to serve as a networking hub for Capella learners and alumni
in Atlanta and enhance their overall education and work
experience,” said Senese.
The new Campus Center will host visits with local employer
partners, providing them a space to conduct informational sessions
and meet with current learners and alumni. To learn more visit
