It was the first online university to receive accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission and is now one of the largest accredited universities in the United States. The university offers more than 400 degree programs across its seven schools, including a School of Business and Technology, a School of Education, and a School of Health Sciences.

Capella University has grown tremendously since its founding in 1993. In 2010 they introduced their FlexPath self-paced learning option which allows students to complete their degree faster than traditional pathways. This innovative approach is popular among working adults who are looking for flexible learning options that fit into their busy lives. In 2013 they opened a physical campus in Minneapolis to accommodate students who prefer traditional face-to-face learning experiences. They also opened an office in Singapore to provide additional support for students from the Asia Pacific region. In 2015 they launched Capella Global which provides access to educational resources from universities around the world so that students can gain knowledge from leading experts outside of the United States. Today Capella University continues to grow with more than 39,000 enrolled students worldwide and more than 1 million alumni around the globe. Check USPRIVATESCHOOLSFINDER.COM for a list of private schools in Colorado by county.
