New FlexPath Doctorates from Capella

[dbinghamjr]

I find that both the university and the student are at fault here. I have colleagues who have obtained their PhD's from Capella, both finished on time and had great experiences. At the same time, the university is at fault because they are more than likely admitting anyone to their doctorate programs, without any requirements. This means that you may get students who would never be able to complete a dissertation or undertake the level of research required for a PhD.

Honestly, I agree with you on that - most of the well-known for-profits (and a growing number of non-profits) readily admit people who have zero business being in college at all.
