MINNEAPOLIS — Capella University, an accredited online university* that has built its reputation by providing high-quality online degree programs for working adults, has announced a new Management Consulting certificate developed in partnership with the Chartered Institute of Management Consultants® (CIMC), as well as the redesign of seven Master of Science in Psychology specializations to help students achieve their educational goals in less time and at lower cost. The learning and career outcomes of Capella’s students and alumni can be found at www.capellaresults.org.
Management Consulting certificate delivers academic content for ChMC certification
Capella University’s new Management Consulting certificate is the only CIMC-endorsed program that provides the academic background for Chartered Management Consultant® (ChMC) certification. CIMC is an internationally recognized professional association that developed and oversees ChMC certification as a global management credential.
“We wanted to offer our members an all-inclusive program that would deliver the academic background required for ChMC certification,” said Linda Bird, administrator of CIMC. “We selected Capella as our partner because we wanted an accredited institution with an excellent academic reputation, expertise in online, post-graduate education, and strong business management programs that reflect the current business climate.”
Streamlined MS in Psychology curriculum delivers learning outcomes with greater efficiency and affordability
The curriculum for many of Capella’s MS in Psychology specializations has been streamlined to maximize efficiency while delivering the same learning outcomes. The MS specializations include General Psychology; Educational Psychology; Child and Adolescent Development; Evaluation, Research, and Measurement; Leadership Coaching Psychology; Industrial/Organizational Psychology; and Sport Psychology. Students who complete their entire program save up to $6,450 and nine months time compared to the previous Capella curriculum for these specializations and up to $7,000 over the cost of comparable online programs.
“This redesign demonstrates our ongoing commitment to helping students earn a degree in the most affordable way possible, without sacrificing the academic quality for which Capella has become known,” said Scott Kinney, president of Capella University. “We surveyed current and prospective students, and got a clear message that while affordability is important, academic quality is paramount. Our goal is also to improve our students’ chances of earning their MS in Psychology by making it possible for them to achieve the same learning outcomes in less time.”
