Online University Education for Leadership Development

While high-tech companies have long nurtured intellectual capital, companies today of all types recognize they are in the business of creating value through applied knowledge. Even small corporations have surprisingly diverse needs for up-to-date knowledge and skills.

As a result, many organizations are turning to university partners who can help meet these education needs. Capella University, founded in 1993, is a leader in bringing together academic rigor, business relevance, and online convenience to create profound learning experiences for working adults. Recognized as a leading provider of accredited online education, Capella is the only fully online university listed in the 2001 U.S. News Best Online Graduate Business Programs.

One of the few universities offering such a broad range of online bachelor's, MBA, master's, and Ph.D. degree programs, including the only master's degree program for corporate training professionals, Capella helps corporate partners address their most pressing development needs:

* Developing leaders. Building the next generation of leaders with the skills and perspective to deal with rapid change can be a great development challenge. Capella's online MBA program develops general management skills and offers further specialization in seven key areas, including leadership, e-business, and marketing and brand management.

* Updating skills. Keeping specialized skills current--or acquiring new competencies--requires access to a rich inventory of courses that are closely attuned to the latest theories and marketplace realities. Capella offers more than 400 courses taught by experts who combine academic credentials and real-world experience. While many other e-learning programs ignore what is often viewed the most valuable component of the educational experience, Capella's programs foster interaction with fellow professionals, enriching the learning environment.

* Deepening expertise. Capella's graduate programs enable professionals to have a greater and immediate business impact in their chosen field. Capella's bachelor's completion degrees in business and information technology allow professionals to apply new skills on the job as they round out their education. Executives use its Ph.D. programs to advance knowledge in high-impact areas.
