If you are considering furthering your studies via Online Learning, you can consider the US-based Capella University – they accept students from all over the world.

While the “fully online university” moniker may make alarm bells ringing, this university has proved its worth by winning the Minnesota Tekne Award, “Technology User” category back in November 2007, defeating Ecolab and Honeywell in the finals.

The judges chose it over the others due to its “innovative application of products or services resulting in dramatic business improvement or market advantage.”

Founded in 1993, Capella University is accredited by The US Higher Learning Commission.

Among the first completely online IT programs, Capella’s program was built based on the needs and competencies identified by technology experts within top Minnesota companies, including 3M, Medtronic and Honeywell.

They even have perhaps the USA’s first and only fully online doctorate IT program.

Capella currently has more than 2,000 students in IT at all levels.

To add yet another feather in its cap, it was also recently chosen by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security to be a Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Hence, I suppose that it’s safe to assume that its security systems are as good as anybody’s.

Apart from IT, Capella also has programs in business, education, human services, psychology, public health, public safety. It currently has 20,000 students from more than 50 countries.
